Mica: Working with Top Name Brands
We partner with many of the biggest names in the UK DIY, Hardware, Home & Garden sector to develop group terms for all our independent retailer Members.
Our core product categories, that you will find in most Mica stores are:
- Painting & Decorating
- Hand & Power Tools
- Instore Services
- Plumbing & Bathroom
- Ironmonger & Security
- Electrical Accessories
- Building Supplies & Fuel
- Gardening & Pest Control
- Seasonal, Interiors & Gifts
- Kitchen & Housewares
Selling Trusted Product
Mica believe in selling and advertising the best and biggest brands around, as these well nurtured names will always be the most trusted by consumers. Before you even think about customer service, you can gain a trusted reputation as a seller of top quality goods simply by stocking those top rated brands and taking the credit by association.
Along side this we are safe in the knowledge that these brands will from time to time (or continuously) promote themselves, at no cost to you! Whether it be on television, on the radio or on social media, top brand names push themselves into the marketplace and into consumers consciousness, thereby creating increased demand for the product, which you can then take advantage of! Therefore it will come as no surprise that we have close relationships with many of the companies behind these brands.
How it works
Most Mica suppliers are available to order from without even having to open an account, and in line with our co-operative principles, all our Members ae equal so everyone benefits from ’best price’ group discount terms. We negotiate hard and fair on behalf of all of stores!
We also spend a great deal of time negotiating special deals with a range of key suppliers on a monthly basis to service the selection process for product advertising, meaning in addition to group pricing & special rebates there is also a range of special deals exclusive to Mica Members available each month!
There are lots of other reasons for buying through Mica as a new Member, here are just a few:
- Spend less time buying, and more time selling on the shop floor.
- Gain rebate through selected Mica suppliers.
- Gain confidence that your cost price will always be competitive.
- Strengthen Mica to enable further improved terms
- Stimulate supplier support (training, promotional etc)
