Special benefits exclusively for our vendors

Welcome to Ottistry Community Markets Wholesale Distribution Service!

Thank you for your interest in joining our growing network of vendors! We are excited to provide a unique opportunity for you to expand your reach and get your products into more stores. Our wholesale distribution service is designed to help you sell your products through a professional sales team to retailers, without the hassle or risk of managing the sales process yourself.

Below, we’ll outline how our wholesale process works, the steps to get started, and the benefits of partnering with Ottistry Community Markets.

How Wholesale Works with Ottistry Community Markets

Wholesale distribution allows vendors like you to sell your products to us at a discounted rate. We then take your products and sell them to stores, boutiques, and other retail locations on your behalf. Here’s an overview of the process:

You set your wholesale prices: You’ll provide us with wholesale pricing for your products. If you need help, we can guide you in suggesting reasonable price points for your items, ensuring they’re competitive and fair for both you and the retailers.

We market and sell your products: Our experienced salespeople will actively promote your products to retail stores. We are actively establishing relationships with a wide variety of retailers, and our sales team will work hard to get your products into stores.

You maintain product control: You continue to control your inventory, pricing, and production. You simply provide us with the details of your products, and we handle the sales process from there.

Orders are placed and fulfilled: When a store places an order, you will receive the order details from us. We will have a location for you to drop your products off and we will handle the shipping process.

Suggested Pricing and Margins

In order for both you and the stores to benefit from the wholesale arrangement, we recommend offering your products at the following pricing structure:

Wholesale Price: Typically, wholesale prices are about 50% of the retail price. This ensures stores can make a profit while allowing you to sell at a competitive price.

Suggested Retail Price: When setting your wholesale price, consider a markup that aligns with your target market. For example, if an item retails for $10 on your website, you might want to wholesale it to us for $5, while the retail store may sell it for $10-11

Volume Discounts: You may choose to offer volume discounts on larger orders (for example, lower prices for bulk orders), which can incentivize stores to purchase more.

If you need help, we can guide you through this process when you complete your vendor questionnaire and provide product pricing details.

No Fees or Risk to Join

We want to make it easy for you to join our wholesale network without any upfront costs or risk. Here’s what you need to know:

No Fees: There are no membership or sign-up fees. We believe in making this opportunity accessible to all vendors.

No Risk: You’re in control of your products, and there is no obligation to participate in any orders. You only fulfill orders when we place them with you.

How to Get Started – Completing the Vendor Questionnaire

To get started, we’ll need you to fill out a vendor slide show that we have created for you. This will help us understand your product line and pricing. We recommend completing the slides on a computer or laptop. Here’s what you’ll need to provide:

Product Photos: High-quality images of each product you wish to offer through our wholesale service.

Quantity Pricing Chart: A detailed list of your products with corresponding wholesale prices and suggested retail prices.

Product Descriptions: A brief description of each product, including key features, materials, and any other relevant information.

Order Requirements: Maximum order capacity, lead times, and any special shipping instructions.

Other Information: Any other details relevant to selling your products (e.g., seasonal availability, exclusivity agreements, etc.).

Once we receive your completed questionnaire, we will begin reviewing your products and prepare to start selling them to retailers.

Our Sales Process – Selling to Stores

Once you’re signed up, our dedicated sales team will get to work promoting your products to retailers. Here’s how the process works:

Our salespeople will present your products to stores and retail buyers who may be interested in carrying your products.

We will handle negotiations and ensure that your products are priced fairly and competitively, based on your wholesale price and the store's markup.

We keep you informed. You will receive regular updates on the status of orders, store feedback, and any requests for new product additions or adjustments.
