Idea Network has initiated a new service designed for both distributors and suppliers. The purpose of this service is to find both distributors who are seeking to expand their product lines and suppliers who want to expand their geographic reach. For this purpose, we are contacting distributors to determine what product lines you would like to expand into, and what types of suppliers you are looking for. At the same time, we are contacting suppliers to identify those who are looking for distributors.
The purpose of this form is to identify distributors who are looking to expand, and to collect some preliminary information. At a later time, we will ask you for more detailed information so that we can move ahead effectively to identify suppliers who match your requirements. You can enroll in this service by filling out this form and returning it to Idea Network. There is no charge to enroll in this service. Any charges that may accrue will apply only after we begin working on your behalf, and will be fully explained ahead of time.
Please fill out this form and return it to us at Idea Network.
