Connecting Industry-Leading Brands with Community-Rich Retailers

Purchasing Power Plus connects and supports our community of retailers and vendors – bringing together independent store buyers and standout product lines through partnership and purpose. We help vendors grow their presence and build meaningful relationships with retailers through marketing tools, insights, and programs grounded in the realities of today’s retail landscape.

It’s work we’ve been committed to since 1996 – and we’re just getting started.

How We Connect Brands with Buyers

Our community of retailers includes independent, mission-driven shops: hospital gift stores, pharmacies, nonprofits, and small businesses where every product on the shelf is chosen with intention. These buyers are not just looking for trend-forward goods. They are looking for partners who understand their customers, their constraints, and their purpose.

At PPP, we help brands show up in ways that matter.

Our approach focuses on consistent connection over time. We introduce vendors to retailers through relevant, relationship-driven touchpoints across the year.

From first impressions to long-term partnerships, we support every step of the process. We build visibility, create context, and make it easy for retailers to discover, remember, and purchase from brands they believe in.

What follows is a closer look at the tools and programs that make this possible.
