Agencies launch “Reps are Local Too” collaboration
In response to the evolving landscape of retail, a collaborative initiative, “Reps are Local Too,” is set to launch this summer. Spearheaded by Angela Schmook, vice president, Road Runners, and Kelly P. Bristol, vice president of business development at Just Got 2 Have It, this movement intends to emphasizes the significance of ordering from local representatives within the retail sector.
The inititative is fueled by the dedication of over 25 representative agencies nationwide, all uniting to champion local businesses. Participating sales representative agencies include: And Sales, Darrah & Company, Diverse Marketing, Enchanted Moments, Just Got 2 Have It, Keith Smith, The Link Companies, NEST, Next Step Reps, The Portico Collection, On the Road Reps, Ritz Sisters, Road Runners, Sales Producers, SE Marketplace and Twist Sales.
Retailers are encouraged to foster partnerships with representatives who understand the needs and dynamics of their local market. By ordering from local reps, retailers can not only learn more about the products they bring to their customers, but also cultivate enduring relationships that contribute to the vitality of their stores and their communities.
Organizers said the campaign will be noticeable throughout the Summer Market season, due to the pivotal support of market centers and trade shows, including the Dallas Market Center, Atlanta Market Center, Las Vegas Market Center, Seattle Mart, and NY NOW.
