AFFILIATE STORES

Increase Profits

The smallest Lumberyard affiliate can profit from the explosion of retail purchasing on the Internet without having to set up their own websites or systems. We will increase your inventory from your current levels to over 300,000 items that will be delivered directly to your customer, or store generally within 48 to 72 hours.

Customer Base

Your customer base is protected from the emergence of the large superstore retailers who are moving into smaller markets.
Through national buying power, affiliates have a selection of products and services that equals or exceeds superstore selections and that can be sold at extremely competitive prices.
Lower prices and free-of-charge opportunities to post local bid work increase customer satisfaction.

Affiliate Connections

Connections among the affiliate's existing relationships are streamlined.
New relationships are developed for affiliate stores through BuilderSources' vast network of referrals. National sales and service organizations will buy needed products through BuilderSource affiliates (see below).
