I guess that is a question for the retailer. The question immediately following would be, what technology is the retailer using to communicate back to the manufacturer? If the answer is a fax machine… well then the answer to the title of this little article is way, way too many. Of course this is not an argument to get rid of the manufacturer representative. This is an argument for retailers to employ a smarter retail supply chain to increase the information flow between their store and the manufacturer.
Think about the value of increasing the information flow between these two organizations. Yes, I know it sounds so simple that you would think all retailers do this. The reality is that the small to medium sized retailer does not employ a smart way to communicate to their suppliers requiring a high level of service from the manufacturer. In the days where costs per sales are high and the big box retailers employ solutions that help reduce the cost of the sale, it is possible to lose manufacturers. Don’t allow this to happen. Help your partners by employing smart business solutions in place. This is a win-win.

If you are looking for some cool toys that can unleash your child’s creativity but do not have quite a big budget to spend on, let me introduce you to something that you might take a fancy to! Introducing the Pixos Ultimate Design Station. This cool toy is something that will inculcate good creativity in your children, especially those who are talented in art work or those who are budding artists or fashion designers! Though some people may think that this is just a silly toy, I can assure you that kids who are indeed interested in displaying their creative artistic juices would find this toy lovable. Costing under $10 at the time of this post (do not ask me if this toy was at sale), this cheap toy is definitely a steal and can be bought form any major cheap toys online stores. So if you want your child to grow up to be somebody creative, might I suggest that you give this toy a try? How this toy works is that it uses different coloured beads known as pixos which have reactive properties towards water. These beads when placed together, can form a pretty picture. This is when you make the pixos wet so that they get sticky and stick together. You then dry the beads and you have a creative art piece! If you are not very smart at the initial stages, you would be happy to learn that the toy package comes with some templates allowing you to create some easier designs. Of course you can always unleash your own creativity and create your own designs. If artistic toys are not your type of fun, then you can still purchase other toys for cheap online. These can be toy cars or maybe game card trading games. There are just so many toys to choose from!
