Frequently Asked Questions about Brandwith Connections operations and first time clients.
-
You said that your commission is 25% of the wholesale price for your distributor services? Who pays this? Us or the retailer?We would not describe the distributor price as commission - it's our cost to purchase your product. Retailers do not cover the costs of distribution. Be sure that the distributor price you set covers your cost plus so that you are building a profitable business. The last thing we want to do is sell at a loss for your brand!

Direct Ship slotting fees of $15 for the first SKU and then an additional $15 for each additional SKU is invoiced? What about if we happen to get on the shelves of a chain store?Slotting fees are essentially our commission for 3rd party distributor orders going to chain stores. Direct ship from the Brand is invoiced at $15 for the first SKU plus $15 each additional SKU sold for each new chain store location we sell into. Be prepared to offer opening order discounts on top of that. We can set our software to offer 3+3, 6+6 8+2 deals 50% off or even free fills if we need extra leverage to get your products on the shelf in some cases.
-
Are there any slotting fees on local stores or only if we direct ship to a customer that you have landed for us?There are no slotting fees invoiced for the regional Independent Store Channel. We charge for a Merchandising Visit when we visit local stores and your brand needs attention at the shelf - includes report.
-
What is your micro-distribution territory?We deliver products weekly to Independent Channel stores in Northern Colorado and Metro Denver. Currently, we deliver monthly to Colorado Springs.

What is a Meet The Maker Tour?Meet The Maker Tour is a road trip we arrange for you by scheduling sampling meetings with buyers in the mountain region.
