ers Inc. (Pink Sheets: VSTR) today introduced its revolutionary internet-based business model to the retail marketplace. ValueSetters (link to valuesetters.com) is a wholesale distributor linking small, independent retailers with manufacturers and importers of consumer goods.

“I have been in retail a long time, and have seen what the big box category killers have done to retail distribution and the consumer experience,” said Sean Lee, Chairman and CEO of ValueSetters Inc., “and I firmly believe there is a tremendous opportunity for the independent retailer to be successful.” ValueSetters’ mission is to help their member retailers succeed by leveraging its buying power to provide products at a cost that allows them to make a profit. ValueSetters’ members, also referred to as resellers, come in all shapes and sizes, including small brick-and-mortar retail stores, individuals selling at swap meets, ecommerce stores, existing distribution groups, fundraisers, and even a home shopping television channel.
ValueSetters has recently kicked off a multi-faceted marketing campaign to build awareness and expand its reseller membership. The company will be leveraging such internet marketing tools as pay-per-click, targeted e-mail, vertical portals, multi-media networks, affiliate programs, and more. “Our message is powerful, our methods are effective, and our goals are aggressive,” said Steve Geary, ValueSetters President and COO.
ValueSetters’ other critical activities include maintaining existing vendor relationships along with building new ones. The company currently has over 50,000 products available with brand names such as Whittier Woods, Champion, Adidas, Van Heusen, Sony, Panasonic, and dozens more represented. The company’s goal is to double the number of products by the end of the year, with an emphasis on building relationships directly with manufacturers wherever possible. The company is already in discussions with many additional vendors, including several well-known hardware and home improvement manufacturers.
