Default is there a list of buyers that we can send catalogs to?

I was told that all retailers have a (buyer) that prospects the t-shirt markets and buys new products for stores?

does anyone have any information about these people? is there a list of buyers that we can send catalogs to and order froms. or promotional products?

Hi Robert, many buyers visit industry event specially geared towards buying new products for stores.

These events are "tradeshows". They have different tradeshows for different product niches. If you check infomat.com, you should see several tradeshow events listed there.

Tradeshows are where buyers go to find new products to carry into stores and plan their buys for the season.

That would probably go better than just sending catalogs to a random list of buyers that may or may not have any interest in your product. I'm not sure such a list of buyers exists.

Agree with Rodney....with todays employment picture, I think the changes in buyers at various companies would defeat any attempt to keep a current list of buyer
