Distriputor Special Guide The Nursery Trade Distributor Hello! For retailers a distributor is an excellent way of getting really innovative and exciting products from all around the world – as well as some important UK brands. Developing a product is all very well, you've then got to sell it. Dealing with a large number of outlets, each of whom is only ordering small quantities, is one of the fastest ways to going broke!! It makes sense to have a distributor handle it. A distributor can store your product so it is accessible for prompt dispatch; they can handle all the billing and of course it works out as more cost effective as a retailer can order a wider range of products and have them delivered all at the same time. One delivery, one invoice. For companies selling their products abroad, it makes even more sense. It reduces the cost of banking by a considerable amount which can soon add up. It also reduces deliv- ery times and costs. And most importantly, it gives you access to the buyers in that country. It’s a win/win situation really!
