RETAIL

Whether our clients are brand oriented, DR focused or a combination of both, Competitive Edge offers a robust retail support team that will achieve the retail results you need for success. For most clients to be successful, their product needs to be sold in as many places as possible, including a robust retail campaign and/or a continuity program. Competitive Edge recognized this need and created its own retail division in 2007 after frustration over the choices our clients faced in gaining presentation of their products into targeted retail chains. In early 2010, Competitive Edge worked with over 250 SKU’s found in more than 10,000 retail and e-tail locations.

We discuss the goals of each retail client and examine the product and provide blunt feedback on the pricing, packaging and inventory needs. We then present your product to designated chains and websites and provide honest feedback. The straight truth – no double talk or false expectations. Once Purchase Orders are received for our clients, we forward the orders to the fulfillment center, invoice and collect from the retailers, and after collecting a commission, remit the balance of the funds to the customer.

In addition to Master Vendor Agreements with several well known “Brick and Mortar” stores, Competitive Edge can assist in the placement of your product on several high volume “name brand” websites, such as GSI Commerce, an e-commerce company that manages more than 70 websites, as well as household names such as Amazon, Overstock and numerous others. Competitive Edge accepts client product into their fulfillment center and fill electronic orders under a drop ship agreement that has our clients paid as monies are collected.

Whether a brand or DR client, retail sales are usually an integral part of the success formula for most products. Whether stores or websites, PO’s or drop ship sales, specialty stores or big chains, Competitive Edge will present your product to the right buyers and get answers quickly and efficiently. We can’t promise that every product will be accepted by every retail outlet but we can promise we will present your product in a professional manner to all of the appropriate retail outlets.
