- Ask Bob About Distribution - Streetwise Tips Distribution
"When branching out into secondary domestic market or a foreign market, distributors can provide a great way to successfully traffic merchandise."

The Lowdown on Wholesalers, Distributors and Importers
There is a lot of confusion about the distinction between jobbers, wholesalers, distributors, and importers, and their role in the marketplace. Part of this confusion is even caused by experienced business people who use these terms incorrectly.

Distinction Between Distribution Methods
A wholesaler, or jobber, is a firm that typically buys goods from manufacturers and resells them to retailers. A wholesaler stocks goods from many different manufacturers in one or more warehouses and ships those goods as one combined order under one invoice.

Lowdown on Exporting
" Doing business overseas may be a lot easier than you think! The key is lining up a good local distributor. "

Featured Book

Streetwise Small Business Start-Up
When you start a small business you soon discover that things just don't happen in the real world the way they tell you in business textbooks: Invoices don't get paid by their due dates, ads don't consistently bring in customers, sales don't continually rise, and profits aren't always there. In this book, small business maverick Bob Adams shows you how things really get done, and acts as your mentor by providing instant access to streetwise advice on every small business topic.
