What do buyers at Walmart, Costco, BJ’s, Sam’s Club, Home Depot, and Lowe’s need to place an order with my brand?

Buyers want to be inspired by a brand’s story and value proposition. They want confidence that the brand not only has mastered the production of their product but has also invested the time and resources to confidently transit their goods to the display, and that the display is compliant with the retailer’s requirements.

Is it difficult to meet Costco’s requirements for custom POP and POS pallet displays?

All club store campaigns come with detailed requirements for everything from packaging and displays to price points and inventory management. But it is well worth the effort to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of these expectations and the right processes in place to meet them.
