The Successful Selling & Walgreens New Vendor Days program was developed by NACDS and the executive team at Walgreens, arguably some of the most experienced retailers in the industry. It is focused on providing you with six things:
- An overview of the marketplace.
- An understanding of how successful new products are developed and introduced.
- An introduction to the business processes and practices vendors are expected to navigate.
- An introduction to people and services you may need to help you successfully enter the market.
- A presentation on how to do business with Walgreens.
- An opportunity to meet face-to-face with a member of the Walgreens Purchasing Team to present your products.
Plan to leave this event armed with the fundamentals of bringing products to market and an introduction to people who can help you do it. You will also learn how to successfully prepare for Marketplace, the industry's largest gathering of Drug, Food, Mass and Specialty retailers.
Please Note: The NACDS Successful Selling & Walgreens New Vendor Days program is available to all CPG manufacturers. The New Vendor Appointments are only open to CPG manufacturers who are not current Walgreens suppliers or to current suppliers with new products which have not previously been presented to Walgreens, as determined by Walgreens.
