A safety product manufacturer has many ways of marketing
their products, one of which involves working with re-sellers and distributors.
This kind of relationships benefits all parties involved; the manufacturer
supplies the product and the distributor finds the buyers. In the end, everyone
gets to capitalize on their specialties and strengths, and this is the central
focus here at Safetyflag.
What are the most common challenges in this arrangement?
Naturally, to be a successful safety product distributor,
you will need to study up on the challenges you’ll face in this line of
business and learn how to overcome them. While a safety equipment supplier
needs to ensure that the product quality remains top-notch, the distributors
don’t have to worry about it, as it’s all being done for them. On the flip-side,
they have their own set of challenges to tackle:
- Recognizing both of your business goals. This is far from
being simple and straightforward, mainly because it differs from each business
to the next. But generally speaking, a distributor must constantly be on the
lookout for new ways to get the product in the hands of the right kind of
customers.
- Knowing how to set the right margins. Generally speaking,
a safety product re-seller, just like any other, will look for the types of
products that can be sold at the highest margins with the least effort
possible. More often than not, conflict between re-sellers and manufacturers
arises when expectations are unrealistic or the goals are not aligned.
- Getting the right support. Whether it’s training,
materials, or providing up-to-date products, it’s the markings of a great
safety product supplier when all of these criteria are met. We at Safetyflag
always do our best to accommodate and provide support to our distributors. In
the end, we recognize the fact that our success is your success, which reflects
our business partnership in every aspect imaginable.
Nurturing the business relationship
Statistically speaking, the most successful
manufacturer-distributor relationships are the kind where both of the parties
involved respect each other’s goals and work towards getting closer to them.
Unlike a traditional employer-employee relationship, this works more like a
business partnership where everyone is on equal footing. When both of the
partners invest their resources and time into making this work, only then will
the results follow.
