Retail Distribution:
Getting a product onto a store shelf can be a difficult proposition. It takes experience at sell-in and sell-through. Our team has this. When we show up for a sales meeting, we present a quality product with a track record, packaging, and POP displays designed for retail. Plus, we meet those delivery dates. That's why Thane products can be found in the stores of over 53 major retailers, including Kmart, Target, Sam's Club, Best Buy, Eckerds, Costco, Linens & Things, Bed Bath & Beyond, Meijers, Kohls, and Walgreens.
Retail sales take advantage of customer awareness and brand loyalty created by direct response TV programming and it does this without incurring additional media costs. Retail sales attract those consumers who either want to touch and feel the product or are not otherwise inclined to purchase through television. The presence of our products in major national retailers lends credibility to our products and furthers customer awareness and brand loyalty.
On a daily basis, Thane deals with the largest catalogers in America. We sell products to over 16 national catalogs on a wholesale basis including, Spiegel, Dr. Leonards, Luminesence, J.C. Penney, Amway and Harriet Carter. Catalog sales enable us to market our products to an audience that has been specifically targeted by the cataloger. Our proven track record in effective catalog placement, with the ability to create compelling visual art and sales-generating copy, helps us secure the best placement in the catalog , including front and back covers.
Backed by the expertise built through years of marketing hit direct response products, we develop and manufacture home shopping network products in a wide variety of categories including fitness, health and beauty, entertainment, and housewares. Our strong, long-term relationships with QVC, HSN, Shop At Home, and international shopping channels, let us manage all crucial aspects of a home shopping business including using our own on-camera experts and controlling the presentation of the product. Utilizing home shopping channels allows us to further expand our marketplace and gives us another outlet for revenues and profits.
