The Distribution and Sales Agency ben-em.de

In 2013 I founded ben-em.de as a distribution and sales agency specialized in toys, gifts and trend products for children and babies. Going through different levels at the famous Margarete Steiff GmbH supplied me with not just valuable experiences in retail and wholesale by the intensive care of all Steiff Brand Shops but also gave me the opportunity to organize and lead sales agencies and distributors in many European countries. Finally I was responsible for leading Key Accounts in Germany. Furthermore working with a specialized advertising agency has strengthened my understanding for trade marketing concepts.


Job Expertise and business know-how are essential for our everyday work as a distribution and sales agency. Personal commitment is an equally decisive factor in order to gain trust of a retailer. All our efforts are based in forming a competent interface between manufacturer and retailer. Our personal big advantage is a profound expertise, professional appearance and an honest, sustainable consultancy of our retailers. The often pursued strategy of maximum "selling-in" without any reflection destroys reliable relationships and is an absolute taboo. Empathy and sympathy are also important characteristics for our successful work. Above all we always look at the branch of trade with neutral eyes. Please let our brand portfolio prove this to you. What can we say: Selling and distributing beautiful products is not just our job but simply passion.

Toys, Gifts & Trends within the Specialized Retail

As a distributor and sales agency we strongly believe in specialized retail as an important backbone of the German retail business. Here is where perfect advice can be found, it is the place for high-quality, innovative and attractive products. Many well-funded consumers consciously decide to shop in local stores in order to find the perfect shopping experience. 
The right distributor or sales agency plays a major role in this network between manufacturer, retailer and consumer: new innovative products and well established brands will gain an advantage by help of the right representative and thus stay in mind of the consumers.
You can only ever advise well if there is time to do so. How would you present dozens of brands within two hours? It is simply impossible! Our strategy is based on cooperating with a selective number of partners whom we can offer an adequate slot in the company’s presentations. This does not forbid a combination of established brands with trend articles - in fact major synergies can result from that!
In addition to offering product relevant explanation our job is to supply retailers with trade marketing tools and obtain the best possible placement for all products. In times of limited selling spaces the "battle for this space" has become ever more important. We are always happy to share our experiences on the field with our business partners: this is what we consider necessary for a sustainable and successful cooperation.

Germany

With thousands of independent retailers within the toy, gift and trend-item business, Germany has one of the most colourful retail environments in Europe. More than 80 million citizens living in 16 federal states do not only show a high purchasing power but also present themselves with cultural diversity. During the last years specialized retailers have found it more and more demanding to satisfy their end-consumers. Why should one buy at the specialty retailer when it is often easier to order online or even cheaper at the chains? Of course there are pretty good reasons to do so: a welcoming shopping atmosphere, good advice, friendly service and an outstanding product offering.
