Warehouse Programs
How does this work? You are selling Sunglasses to large retail chains all around the USA. If you sell your sunglasses through a Warehouse Program you would not deliver sunglasses to individual stores; you would deliver them to central warehouses belonging to your customer. Your customer then delivers the merchandise to the stores and stocks the shelves and displays.
You would start by packing up all your sunglasses in boxes, then you place them on pallets and finally you ship them in pallets to a central warehouse belonging to the retailer. The retailer then rolls out your sunglasses to their stores using their own shipping. Once there, store employees open the boxes and place your sunglasses on displays or shelves.
Typically you use this program when selling to large chains of hundreds or thousands of stores. Chains like Albertsons, Walgreen’s, Wal-Mart, Target, CVS, etc. These stores have central warehouse locations and their own logistics.
Every program has advantages and disadvantages. Here are a few examples of both for the Warehouse Program.
Warehouse programs are big businesses. Customers will buy truckloads of merchandise delivered to one location.
