Membership Key Benefits
Preferential Buying Advantages
Using the buying advantages of aggregated volumes and the
increased opportunity and cost benefits that THS presents to its
network of leading brand Suppliers, THS Members have access to
ongoing substantial preferential buying terms enabling them to
compete against the 'Multiples'.
Achievable Minimum Order Values
Negotiated on behalf of the Membership, this allows the
smaller distributor to offer their customers a wider variety of
products, which would not otherwise be accessible to the
independent.
Large Product Portfolio
THS Members have access to an extensive product
portfolio, equal to that of large national distributors, enabling
large product availability which is key to profitability.
Maintained Independence
THS Tools Group provides Members with the necessary sales
tools and advice which enables them to choose the options best
suited to target their individual customer base, ensuring continued
independence. Unlike some buying groups, THS is an organisation
wholly owned by the Membership and in turn rebates the annual
profits back to the Member companies.
Business Support
THS can highlight key sales opportunities to exploit to
maximum effect whilst offering advice to help overcome potential
areas of concern. In addition, THS support their Members in
strategic or national contract opportunities to promote the wider
strengths and commercial benefits of partnering with a THS
distributor.
Support Network
THS Membership offers a full support network led by an
interactive website featuring extensive Group information and a
quick and easy way to communicate with your fellow Members who can
offer advice and additional product opportunities.
Extensive Marketing Portfolio
Featuring bespoke Catalogues and promotions, the THS
Extensive Marketing Portfolio provides Members with the opportunity
of regular sales contact with their individual customers, enabling
an ongoing level of business generation and raising profit at
levels that many independent distributors would not have either the
resources or budget to achieve.
Regular Events Programme
The Annual Exhibition, considered by many to be the 'Best
in the Trade', the Annual Conference and the Membership Regional
Meetings, provide Members with a valuable opportunity to meet
co-Members, Suppliers and the THS Team "all under one roof" to
share industry views, issues and discuss new
initiatives.
Training Seminars
Organised by THS to give Members product information and
enhance sales techniques enabling them to exploit existing and new
market areas whilst providing exceptional customer service.
