best-one launches new brochure
best-one launches new brochure, giving retailers convenient access to even more choice of products.
best-one has launched a new Drop Shipment Product Guide, providing best-one store owners with exclusive and convenient access to an increased choice of specialised products across frozen, ambient and chilled foods, food-to-go, non-food and a large seasonal range.
All products within the guide have been selected and negotiated by Bestway’s expert trading team, who have worked with over 140 suppliers to present an extended range in one convenient place, with excellent prices and deals utilising Bestway’s scale. The products have been chosen for the consumer need they meet and the high profit they will generate for retailers.
To stock products from the guide, retailers agree a delivery date directly with the supplier and the goods are charged via their best-one account, at the prices negotiated by Bestway.
Kenton Burchell, Trading Director at Bestway Wholesale comments: “The Drop Shipment Product Guide gives our retailers access to an extended range of products and seasonal lines in one convenient brochure – providing best-one retailers with a lot of choice and excellent prices to help them maximise on sales. Products include Halloween costumes, Christmas accessories, gift-wrapping and Christmas cards for the festive period, as well as flowers, tights, bakery products and specialist alcohol ranges, which enhance the range already available to retailers through Bestway.”
best-one retailers can use the guide to branch out into potentially new ranges including Mobile Phone Accessories, Stationary, Toys and Pet Care too. The suppliers selected for the Drop Shipment Product Guide are the most successful and innovative in their categories, providing promotions and industry leading offers.
Paul Adams, Head of Sales and Development – best-one states: “Consumers will often purchase seasonal products on impulse and therefore it’s important for convenience stores to stock these products to capture the sales, particularly during the festive period. However, sourcing these products directly can be costly for retailers due to the risk of being left with unsold stock after the seasonal event has passed and due to the high prices they’re likely to pay when buying direct from suppliers. By using the drop-shipment brochure retailers can eliminate some of the risk surrounding seasonal products, due to the small minimum order quantities and supplier support negotiated by Bestway within the guide.”
Food-to-go is also an area of focus within the guide. Adams adds: “We know that 28% of the population buy food-to-go on a regular basis and so it’s an important area for retailers to tap into. We’ve added food-to-go solutions from Country Choice and Aryzta to Drop Shipment, which include the products, merchandise, equipment and training meaning that retailers can easily capitalise on these sales right away.”
The guide also includes specialist fine food products for stores where the local area demographics demand this kind of range including organic, fair trade and natural products. Some suppliers also provide point of sale support and sale or return whereby retailers can return the products they haven’t managed to sell.
The full brochure will be sent to best-one customers with their November promotional materials this week, 16th September 2019.
