VENDOR BENEFITS

Partnering with NBS provides our Vendor Partners with unparalleled access to top-tier, financially stable retailers across North America. This partnership enables direct connections with key buyers through strategically scheduled purchasing events. Our dedicated NBS Merchandising Team works closely with Vendor Partners to develop tailored Programs, attract new customers, and strengthen relationships with existing customers ensuring maximum impact in the outdoor, athletic, and winter sports markets.

“One of the major benefits of this business relationship is the lifelong friendships I've made with NBS customers. These friendships will far exceed the business relationship and will last a lifetime. Our relationship with NBS and its Members is something we highly value at Morrell Targets. We always strive to put our best deal possible for NBS and their Members."

Butch Thomas - Morrell Targets

“One of the biggest benefits is the strong relationships that have been built over the years between The Kinetic Group, NBS, and the NBS Members. These relationships go past business relationships, they are truly long-lasting friendships! The Markets and the in-person interaction with the Members are a huge benefit. It’s a time when we as the manufacturer can sit down with the dealers and get real feedback on our company, what we are doing right and wrong, and the overall status of the industry from their point of view."

Beau Nicholson - The Kinetic Group



"NBS is a True Partner - They are always open to new ideas, which makes every opportunity an exciting venture. We value the trust and strong communication we share and look forward to many more years of working with the NBS Team and with their amazing roster of Members."

“I think the obvious benefit is the access to brick and mortar which is really the heartbeat of Sig Sauer and where we want to put our focus. I’m not just referencing the day to day business that we also obviously gain from NBS or the streamlined communication process, the decision making, it’s all funneled down to one point and that really helps us tremendously as an organization, but also with Membership feedback and through NBS, we’ve been able to take the true needs of brick & mortar to ensure that we’re always, always working on behalf of the dealer.”

John Dain - Sig Sauer

“The overall benefit of just being one big family to push and drive sales to the next level. So, there’s a lot of different channels that only focus on certain levels, this focus on all channels, all areas, all different members and levels of buying that we just don’t get in other categories.”

Nick French - Outtech

“I think the biggest benefit is the people. The people as a whole are great to work with. They’ve got a vested interest in their own business, but they’ve also got a vested interest in NBS and what they’re trying to do. As a vendor, it allows us to create relationships with each one of those individuals and begin a partnership that will create the sales that we’re all looking for.”
Greg Stawczyk - The Allen Company
