EIS Corporation buyers are some of the largest and most prestigious in the world that would rival the likes of Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, Central Market, CVS, Walgreens and other well established domestic chains.
Our buyer list also includes a variety of high-end and specialty retailers and food Service.
A key reason buyers enjoy doing business with EIS is because of its over 4000 products from over 100 manufacturers.

Strategy
Our Go To Market strategy is simple but complex. Our initial contact with buyers is via telephone, Skype and email. Once a product interest is established; marketing, pricing and samples are then introduced to the buyer.
Once this process is complete, EIS likes to send one of its Sr. Executives or Regional Representatives to meet with the buyers face to face to work out any final details, secure a Purchase Order and to begin the process in building a long term relationship with that buyer.
Once the process is complete and products are shipped to the buyer. We then enter into deeper discussions regarding our strategy of helping them increase their profits.
Strategy
Marketing strategies are tailored to each supplier and buyer based on several factors and can be done on several levels:
First, we can help buyers in evaluating their current product portfolio to discover any low performing products.
We can then introduce products in our portfolio we believe will perform better.
We can then help the buyer with planograms to help complete a line with complementing products.
Strategy
Next we will work with the buyer and the brand in their marketing efforts to build the brand. This is done through:
• In-store presentations of the products• Free fills • Quarterly discounts• Flyer or circular participation as well as other options that may be a little
out of the box but effective in building the brand recognition. • And other market-effective tactics
From this initial launching pad, EIS seeks out and places feet on the ground Agents and Distributors to help grow the brand and find additional placements for the products. We then, in turn introduce to these Agents other products they can introduce to their markets as well.
