New Service Connects Internet Retailers With Manufacturers Seeking Online Sales Channels

PITTSBURGH, July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Online retailers looking to expand their product selection can now turn to a new firm that connects them with high-quality merchandise from reputable manufacturers and wholesalers. etailSales Associates, LLC brings manufacturers and electronic retailers ("etailers") together by consolidating the complicated processes and procedures associated with online sales.

Many manufacturers recognize the enormous potential of internet retailers, but aren't sure how to tap into this growing marketplace, according to etailSales Associates, founder Rand Koryga. He said the cumbersome and time-consuming set-up process makes many manufacturers hesitant, or even unable, to devote the time necessary.

"That's where etailSales Associates comes in," Koryga says. "We work with our manufacturers to help them establish seamless drop-ship programs, which are essential for dealing with internet and catalog retailers." 

etailSales Associates supplies retailers with all required product information, and images formatted to their exact specifications for web or print. It's a service that's proven incredibly valuable to Linda McSpadden, owner of Images Unlimited, Inc — parent company of decoratetogo.com, teamsillustrated.com, Wallpapers to Go, and Deck the Walls. "When I contacted etailSales, I was immediately given all the information I needed to upload the products on our sites," McSpadden says. "They make it as easy as possible to upload their products. Instead of dealing with three different manufacturers, I just deal with one."

Adds McFadden, "Their unique products are what first attracted me to this company. They are made from quality craftsmanship at very affordable costs."

Facilitating the set-up process is only part of the service etailSales offers. The company's principals also use their 40+ years of sales and manufacturing experience to establish and build mutually beneficial relationships for their clients.

"etailSales Associates contacted us and suggested that one of their lines would be a perfect fit for our site, www.theprofessionalcollection.com." says Hal Pollock, President, The Professional Collection. "They were right. The product line is sensational, and has been an excellent seller to our target customers.

"More importantly, etailSales is wonderful to work with. They're fast, responsive, and know their business," Pollock says. "They made the setup process easy for both us and the manufacturers, and they continue to be a valuable resource to our growing business."

Manufacturers benefit because etailSales eliminates the costs and manpower associated with prospecting for new etailers and completing the extensive set-up procedures each site requires. This helped framed art and collectibles manufacturer ASC, Inc, boost Internet sales by over 30% in one year.

"etailSales Associates has made it simple and cost effective for us to expand our sales presence with etailers," notes ASC President Charles Naumoff. "We gave them all our product specs, images, and company information once, then they use it to complete the endless array of set up forms from each unique etailer they find. We would never have had the time ourselves to seek out all these individual etailers and complete each setup process."

A Forrester Research project reports that online retail sales grew 11% in 2009 over 2008 and predicts double-digit growth for the segment for at least the next 5 years. The report projects that Internet retail sales will grow to around $249 billion by 2014, up from about $139.8 billion in 2008.

"No other retail segment can even come close to these growth levels," Koryga notes.
