Dealers
If you have a fly shop, large or small, you should become a SmithFly dealer, now. Why? Here is the low down.
As a shop owner you have people every week ask for products that are made in the USA. Until SmithFly came along, on the soft goods side, the answer to that question didn’t exist. In some categories, like rods and waders, there is a clear answer to that question.
SmithFly aims to provide a solution for the specialty retail store customer who demands quality, longevity, durability, modularity and an alternative to the same old, same old that all the other manufacturers seem to be happy with. This clientele is NOT the majority of your customers, and SmithFly doesn’t seek to take over the soft goods market. SmithFly wants to work closely with you as a dealer to offer those customers who demand something different a unique and functional option in the fly fishing specific soft goods category.
We are not interested in working with high volume big box retailers and we can guarantee that our products will not be hitting the shelves of the super centers any time soon. We are interested in working with small boutique shops with a high level of customer interactivity and customer input on developing a wide range of products that can be used in various ways and are built to last a lifetime.
Becoming a SmithFly are about offering choice to consumers at the retail level.
We also want to work with small shops on small orders. Unlike the big brands who make things overseas in massive batches, we work in smaller batches and take smaller orders from you, all year round. That’s a huge advantage to your wallet that the big guys don’t have the luxury of offering. We don’t need you to commit to a whole year’s worth of stock, because you’re only an overnight shipment away from being re-supplied. We want you to stop guessing at how many of each piece you think you might need next year, and start ordering in smaller batches as things turn for you. Buy as you need it, not all up front with a big check, that’s so last century.
Our system is modular and so is our thinking around dealerships.
For us, working with dealers is a partnership and it has to be beneficial both ways or it won’t work out in the long run.
Please contact us about becoming a dealer, we would love to have you on board.
