January Blogs – VendorCo Client Benefits

By vendorco

Deciding to form a business partnership is not a decision that is to be taken lightly. There must be comfort and confidence within both parties in order to form a cohesive relationship, and the servicing company should be able to clearly communicate the benefits of a partnership. VendorCo takes this commitment seriously, which is why this month we will be focusing on the services that you receive when you choose VendorCo as your manufacturer representative.

When you partner with VendorCo, your company becomes part of a team with over 20 years of Costco experience. This experience is tied to an array of invaluable benefits that can save you time and money – not to mention stress and strain associated with any unfamiliar retail program.

Starting Fresh – Past Vendors

By vendorco

Vendors that no longer work with Costco may feel that their potential has passed; however, we urge you to reconsider and start fresh with a manufacturer representative. There are many reasons why a program may be pushed out of Costco. Mostly this process occurs naturally with items going through a seasonal rotation and many programs may not be picked up for the next period.

An expert representative can help you increase your potential for a second chance at Costco placement, and potential for year round placement as well. An experts knowledge of the inside workings of Costco Wholesale is exceptionally valuable to vendors that are no longer working with Costco.
To contact an expert representative, choose VendorCo. Visit www.vendorco.com/contact-us, and start fresh with a new Costco program.

Step Four: Make an action plan

By vendorco

Now, focus on each of your long/short term goals one at a time and make a list of steps that you will take to achieve each of your goals. You will want to develop a succinct plan of action for each goal, so you know the exact direction that your company is heading.

Maybe your goal for 2012 is to begin speaking with Costco about product placement. Your action steps should be first to evaluate your Costco readiness, locate the buyer, develop product presentation, etc. etc. As you can see, your action plan will depend on your short/long term goals.

Keep in mind that the plan of action for your long term goals will be incomplete and may depend upon your short term goals first.

Healthy Partnerships

By vendorco

Feeling overwhelmed this New Year? Do your goals appear too big to handle?

What may appear to be overwhelming to you is likely a piece of cake to an expert. It makes sense to partner with individuals/companies that provide expert assistance in certain areas that are unknown to you. If organization, marketing, advertising, and retail expansion are equivalent to a foreign language, then make it easy on yourself, by partnering with someone that speaks the language fluently and will be able to successfully assist in the growth of your company.

As it pertains to retail expansion, VendorCo recommends partnering with experts that focus specifically on certain retail avenues. These experts are often referred to as Manufacturer Representatives, and should be knowledgeable and experienced in a narrow retail scope. If you have considered Costco Wholesale placement, read on to our next post or contact VendorCo today at (949)326-8909 or [email protected].

Product Broker: Pros and Cons

By vendorco

A product broker can also be referred to as a manufacturer representative, independent representative or a product placement company. These companies assist manufacturers and service providers with retail placement. A product broker may be specific to one retailer, or may solicit to many retailers.

A product broker eliminates the guess work for your company. An experienced product broker will know how to present, who to present to, and what to include in your presentations. They will know what packaging changes should be implemented, pallet requirements, process for shipping and delivery of your product, and more. They can assist you with forecasting and customer service on all levels. A product broker will know about hidden costs to account for and suggest how to get the most out of your retail program. Essentially, a product broker will work you through all of the ins and outs of a retail program. An expert can save you hours of research, headache, and hassle.

One of the obvious drawbacks or hesitations in working with a product broker is opening your business specifics to an outside company.  If a broker offers services to more than one retailer, be cautious. Serving more than one major retailer will take enormous effort and likely water down their expertise.
