Open Buying Day at Do it Best just ahead

Do it Best has set the date of its fall Open Buying Day for November 1, as it continues to expand the variety of products it offers to its member-owners from domestic and international vendors.

“Vendors who participate in Open Buying Day have the opportunity to quickly get their products in front of thousands of independent business owners around the world through our extensive distribution network,” said Jason Stofleth, incoming vice president of merchandising.

Open Buying Day will be held at Do it Best world headquarters in Fort Wayne, Indiana, said the company. Qualified vendors will meet with the merchandising team to present their company and products, as well as learn about the requirements to become a Do it Best vendor.

“Discovering new vendors and innovative products plays an important role in further enhancing our members’ growth. We support our newest vendors with featured placement at our semi-annual buying markets,” said Stofleth.

Participation includes a required $200 non-refundable donation to the Do it Best Foundation. Space is limited.

Vendors interested in participating should visit doitbestonline.com/become-a-vendor to complete the registration questionnaire, said the firm.

“We’re strongly committed to delivering solutions-oriented products for our store owners and Open Buying Day continues to deliver outstanding results,” said Stofleth.
