SPORTS INC. THE LARGEST NATIONAL SPORTING GOODS PURCHASING GROUP JOINS WITH BYRNA
THE BUYING GROUP WILL OFFER THE FULL RANGE OF BYRNA PRODUCTS TO ITS 500 INDEPENDENT RETAILERS
ANDOVER, Mass., May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Byrna Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: BYRN) (“Byrna”, “the Company”) today announced that Sports Inc., the largest and fastest growing sporting goods buying group country, now offers the full range of Byrna products to its independent merchant members. Sports Inc., founded in 1965 in Lewiston, Montana, offers independent sporting goods retailers the opportunity to compete with large chain stores. Starting with seven stores, Sports Inc. has grown to over 500 independent retailers representing 750 stores.
In February 2022, at Sports Inc.’s “Invitation-Only” Supplier Consideration Event, Byrna’s sales team successfully showcased the full line of Byrna products to a group of Independent Retailers who represent Sports Inc. The sales team wrote $32,000 of orders during the two-hour event, receiving many votes from its members that Byrna is a brand they want to have in their stores. Excluding Assignment-4’s, all orders for the event were fulfilled and Byrna was elected to become a supplier to Sports Inc.
The onboarding process is rigorous and many other manufacturers present at the event were not accepted. Byrna is proud to announce that the supplier agreement has been finalized early May 2022 and Byrna has already started shipping products to stores. “The integration with Sports Inc. and access to the large group of independent retailers is a good example of the dealership sales team successfully executing the company’s long-term product strategy under the leadership of our leadership,” said Alan VogelDirector of Dealer Sales at Byrna.
Byrna offers best in class service to large retail chains and small to medium sized retailers. Working alongside businesses outside of the sales force stationed across the country, Byrna continues to save shelf space, provide training and manage these new accounts. The sales team frequently conducts live demonstrations and training on Byrna products at retailers across the country.
One of the main benefits of partnering with Sports Inc. is that all invoices and mailings to its members are 100% guaranteed to be paid by the buying group. This eliminates the credit risk of sole proprietorships and provides Byrna with the ability to expand into small and mid-sized independent retailers by offering competitive pricing and payment terms.
