Distributors of the Pet Industry Distributors Association (PIDA) rely on healthy pet specialty stores as the direct link between products and consumers. In turn, independents in particular should take advantage of the essential support their distributors provide to help them sell more and improve profitability.
When asked about the value that distributors can bring to your table, buying power is probably what comes to your mind first. Sure, distributors allow retailers to buy smaller quantities of product at larger-quantity prices and access a wider selection from fewer sources. But, did you know that your distributors can help you boost your selling power too?
To respond to this question, PIDA interviewed nine successful retails across the U.S. about how to maximize the distributor-retailer relationship.
