For Vendors
Building Your Business with a Network of Independent Retailers
Since 1955, Worldwide Distributors has been opening doors for vendors into the vital independent retailer market. We have direct access to a nationwide market of successful independent retailers. Our business is to bring together suppliers and independent retailers. To this end we sponsor trade shows, provide advertising campaigns, reorder programs, and maintain a communications line for special buys, time-critical opportunities and close-outs. We also invite suppliers to participate in our private brands.
Our members know that we are working in their best interests. They trust us to find marketable products to fit their needs, and they accept our recommendations because they know that our success depends on their success.
Access to our Professional Merchandise Coordinators
We have a pleasant, accessible staff of dedicated business experts who thoroughly understand the dynamics of the wholesale and retail marketplace. Our staff is the essential avenue of communication between key suppliers and retail dealers. They stay abreast of the latest trends through national trade shows, review of trade publications and day-to-day communication with suppliers and retailers.
When you talk to the professional staff at Worldwide, you're actually talking to key decision makers for hundreds of retail outlets across the country. Our people act as your agents when it comes to getting programs, merchandise and information through to those outlets.
Support Services Expedite Doing Business with Worldwide Retailers
Worldwide's special services begin with its trade shows. These allow independent retailers to meet suppliers in an open booth setting at the Reno Convention Center twice a year. We have Hot Shows, which are designed to get the buyers to your booth by moving tremendous volumes of merchandise at super special show prices, group meetings for special programs, quantity buys and close-outs. These shows can expedite your ability to see a larger group of retailers in a few days.
These shows are supported by extensive advertising and specially compiled order books making it easy for buyers to come fully prepared to write orders. Our shows are writing shows!
We can be your single-source credit referance for all the retailers we deal with if you work with a merchandise coordinator to arrange for this privilege. Working out a buying advantage for members of the cooperative to buy collectively can provide you with payment security and a single address to invoice. Call the appropriate merchandise coordinator to arrange for this billing advantage.
Worldwide selects vendors representing lines in key categories to exhibit at our bi-annual trade shows. Please contact the appropriate merchandising coordinator for more details on how you can get involved. Click here for a contact listing.
