…Our Story
If the wholesale industry learned nothing else from the Covid lockdown, we learned that, if retailers are NOT ABLE TO SELL products, they’re NOT ABLE TO BUY products. Thus, the whole industry was affected, as retailers are truly the bedrock of our industry. What if all parties of the wholesale industry were able to work together? Could we help retailers SELL more, so they could BUY more? That question sparked an idea in the mind of Toni Ivey, the president of OmegaNet.
In late 2021, OmegaNet surveyed thousands of retailers to find out the main challenges the stores were experiencing. We wanted to determine what other partners in the industry could do to assist retailers.
The top five pain points that surfaced in the survey were the following:
%
Increased cost of products and shipping.
%
Online technology (websites, social media & SEO).
%
Merchant charges (credit card fees).
%
Need to increase walk-in traffic.
%
Getting in-store customers to purchase more.
To help RETAILERS deal with the pain points revealed in the survey and more, OmegaNet is now launching a new division: OmegaNet Connection, the Whole Industry Buying Group, that will change the way vendors sell to retailers by providing quick, easy access that will enable retailers to get special group pricing on products and save on various services to increase their profit margin and their bottom line. While researching and adding these various services, OmegaNet found that the Vendors, as well, could benefit greatly from the services, providing a better margin for all.
OmegaNet Connection is an online community and buying group, that will partner with hundreds of vendors, dozens of service providers partners and thousands of retailers in the Gift & Home Industry. Retailers experience savings on products and Vendors and Retailers alike will save on incredible services offered by our Participating Service Provider members.
