Marketing your product successfully on a wholesale basis is comprised of using three main tactics.

1. Getting your product in front of buyers and merchandise directors on a pro-active basis. i.e. You are actively calling on buyers and merchandise directors pitching your product(s). This can be done in-house by someone working at your company or by an independent sales representative you pay a commission to.

2. Having your product featured in places where buyers and merchandise directors go looking for products to sell. This can be on web sites, in trade magazines, at trade shows and buyers markets.

3. Implementing web strategies that enable buyers and merchandise directors to find your company when they search for the type of products you sell using search engines like Google. This involves Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tactics for your company web site. This means getting inbound links to your web site from high-ranking web sites,  utilizing conversation media like blogs, social networks like Facebook and YouTube.com, and web book-marking sites like, digg.com, stumbleupon.com, reddit.com and propeller.com All together called: Web 2.0

The NMOA has cost effective product promotion services to help you in any of these areas. Listed below.

Our specialty is getting your product in front of the buyers and merchandise directors of direct marketing companies.
Direct Marketing Companies sell through mail order catalogs, web stores, direct mail, television home shopping and infomercials, and also through space ads in magazines and newspapers. Although it's not our main focus, a number of other specialty retailers like Kiosk vendors come to us looking for new products too.

NEW!  
$20.00 - Self administered Blog Post on the NMOA Wholesale Distributor Blog. This unique service does two things for you. It helps you get low cost exposure for your product(s), and at the same time it helps build the search engine ranking of your website so people can find you easier when using search engines.

Starting with product exposure, in addition to people coming directly to the wholesale blog site, our wholesale blog also ties into a growing network of other web sites through RSS feeds, as well as other blog and social media web sites. So posting on our blog brings you good product exposure at a super low cost. And your posting stays on the site for an unlimited time period.

For search engine value, it's important to know that blog postings are a vital component in today's Web 2.0 marketing strategy. They are now a necessity for building long-term search engine awareness for your company and products. Take note, 60-80% of indexed pages on Google are now blogs.

And each blog post you create adds one more important Search Engine Optimized (SEO) link to your main website. As any search engine expert will tell you, having good incoming links to your website is the single best thing you can do to increase your search engine ranking so people can find you on the web. Each time you post on our wholesale blog, you create additional exposure for your product and one more long lasting link to your website. These optimized incoming links have a powerful cumulative effect over time, the more you have the better.

Our wholesale blog gives you full SEO control for creating custom keywords and phrases into your posting to maximize your search engine value. It even allows you to post a picture of your product. After you complete your blog posting, you can then use social book-marking sites like digg.com, stumbleupon.com and Reddit.com to tag/recommend it, and so can your friends and employees. Afterwards, you can also come back and edit the original posting, or make comments to it anytime you want. And everything is simple to use. Click here to order your blog post.
