Training & Support
New store owners go through a period of orientation where they are exposed to the everyday activities of owning a store and making contacts with the manufacturers' representatives.
We send out weekly memos to our stores relating information about the juvenile industry. These memos include valuable information such as good sellers, new items, idea exchanges, and educational-type articles and recalls. All these mailings are intended to keep our stores as informed as possible and as up to date as possible in the industry so that they can make the best decisions possible. We also keep an up-to-date e-mail database allowing us to communicate industry information, manufacturer specials and promos as quickly and effectively as possible.
Our affiliation with ABC also allows our members to attend the industry's finest trade show, The ABC Juvenile Products Exposition, the largest exclusive independent juvenile products trade show in the United States.
