How to become a "Pagle Health Solutions Supplier"
Pagle
Health Solutions is a supplier of natural healthcare
products and health foods. Pagle was founded in 1982 and has become the first choice for
trade professionals & retail outlets providing an
efficient, unbiased and reliable wholesaling service
warehousing over 5,000 products. We supply services to
healthcare professionals, retail health food outlets,
independent supermarkets, chemists and affiliated
healthcare providers throughout News South Wales in both
country & city regions.
Before we consider new products for our catalogue, we
recommend that you read the information below. From
there, if you have any further questions you can contact
the Marketing Manager prior to sending your products for
evaluation.
Information for
New Suppliers
As a highly respected wholesaler in the natural
healthcare industry we are approached by many suppliers
to distribute their products. Because of this and the
time appointments take, we require all new potential
suppliers to forward their products to us by mail or
courier so we may evaluate the product as being suitable
for the Pagle Health Solutions Catalogue or not.
Once a month we evaluate these products and if the
products suit our acceptance criteria we will notify you
by mail or phone to arrange a meeting for further
discussions. Products not accepted will be returned with
a letter of decline.
It is also important if it is a new brand or
product to the market that you fully explain your sales
and marketing strategies. For existing brands with some
years of history behind them we will request sales
trends and sales
for that period of time so as to evaluate its potential
as a successful Pagle Distributed Product.

Barcodes
In todays marketplace all
distributors and retail operations rely on barcodes for
product identification and stock control. It is
Pagle
Health Solutions
policy that all products must have a barcode on the
product (this is called an E.A.N). In the future we may
also require suppliers to have a barcode on the outside
of the carton (this is called a T.U.N). Information on
EAN and TUN can be obtained from
http://www.gs1au.org/
Delivery
requirements
Note that all
deliveries of stock to
Pagle
Health Solutions needs
to be accompanied by an invoice. Failure to comply with
this request may result in deliveries being rejected,
products delayed for distribution as well as incurring
unnecessary costs.
Product
Deals
It has always been
Pagle
Health Solutions policy to support our
suppliers in the best way we can by communicating
suppliers deals via our monthly newsletter, via
the Pagle sales representatives as well as distributing
leaflets, brochures and other merchandising directly to
our customers via their orders.
While saying that, we
recommend the following steps be taken to make sure
product deals are promoted adequately and your sales
targets reached successfully.
|
|
We encourage
all suppliers to present a promotional
program of deals well in advance to enable
effective communication to stores. |
|
|
Monthly
promotional deals need to be sent to our
Marketing Department.
|
|
|
Leaflets,
brochures and other merchandising material
are best carried by Supplier Representatives
or delivered by suppliers directly to the
retailer. |
|
|
If you require
Pagle's to send out leaflets, brochures and
other merchandising material, it should be
bar-coded in bundles and treated as a
product with a code etc. |
