Expand your business by expanding your channel
Your products are on the shelves of Best Buy, Circuit City, and Fry’s. You’ve experienced success in the retail channel, and now it’s time to increase your sell-through. Where will you look to expand your business and increase your market penetration in the retail channel?
Look beyond your core business for opportunities in unlikely places, in channels previously not considered. Significantly grow your sales by expanding your reach into non-traditional retailers that move large volumes of electronics and accessories.
The ECRM and Levin Consulting Electronics Retail Summit gives vendors the opportunity to sit down with buyers from key accounts at both traditional and non-traditional electronics retailers. Meet first-hand with PC and CE category buyers at top grocery, drug, discounters, college bookstores, department stores, travel centers, buying groups, office superstores, computer stores, clubs, mass merchants and many more. Build relationships that have the capacity to expand your business.

Take your sales to a new level
This event consists solely of category-specific, one-on-one meetings between retailers and vendors over the span of three days. The private meetings are 20 minutes in length, and vendors meet exclusively with the retail buyers in their category to review new items, marketing initiatives and strategic direction.
Each vendor receives a private room for setting up and demonstrating products. Retailers then move from room to room for each pre-scheduled, 20-minute meeting. Group meals offer attendees additional networking opportunities.
