ISN'T THERE A BETTER WAY?
|
Recently I gave one of our team members the project of going through our catalogs. Hey...it's May and I figured it was time. It was obvious they were stacking up and each year I ponder the question...isn't there a better way? We receive SO many catalogs!
We receive catalogs from companies we have never done business with and probably will never do business with. We choose to use our preferred suppliers and unless we are looking for something off the beaten path, we're not going to go elsewhere. Why would we?
Sending catalogs costs our supplier partners a fortune...and I wonder how effective that investment really is? It's a company's money to use as they see fit, but might I be so bold as to suggest suppliers only send catalogs to people with whom they have a relationship with?
ISN'T THERE A BETTER WAY?
We want to hear from you!
Perhaps something productive will come from this discussion. We invite your comments at the
bottom of this commentary on the website. Here's a suggestion for suppliers...just send
a Starbucks card to stimulate business!
Ah...but a supplier must question: How can I reach the marketplace if I don't throw away thousands of dollars on catalogs?
SUPPLIERS: If you have the ability to help quality distributor sales people sell your product, we would love to hear from you. If you can't do that and have more business than you need, just keep sending catalogs and doing "traditional" marketing.
All this talk of catalogs leads me to the announcement that we have now gone live with our ZOOMcatalog Powered by FreePromoTips. Distributors and Suppliers will both receive special offers by benefiting from the NEW way to share products with the marketplace. See below for more information.
