Big Box Companies...

Posted by Jessica_Castro on 4/4/2008 at 11:21 AM ET 75 Points
I know this is a bit sneaky, but desperate times call for desperate measures...

I posted earlier this week about trying to get Wal-mart to pick up my companies non-conventional product. I wasn't aware that there are companies who can not only help you to do this, but expedite and simplify the process....

Now my questions is what is a "big box" company? and if you work for one contact me ASAP I would love to talk to you and see what it is we are doing right, what we are doing wrong, and how we can do things better...Thank you in advance...

    There are manufacturer reps that have the contacts and can simplify the process. They will query you heavily to make sure you can support their efforts and back up the volume. Finding them can vary by industry-- for example, this trade org often features reps in this industry for "big boxes" the National Home Center News used to be a source-- but their link isn't working or has changed.

    Thanks! Yes I have noticed my responses on this have varied as much a possible. From people who do this on the side, to big companies who have been in business for years...

    I am not interested in tenure more so flexibility. I work for a small company so we thrive on flexibility...
