Your Partner in Growth.

Accelerated Growth

Growing your business with independent distribution is an important element in a best-in-class supplier’s go-to market strategy. As an AD supplier partner, you’ll have access to a $75 billion network of leading growth-oriented distributors who are leaders when it comes to supporting brands and introducing new products to market.

  • The fact that 100% of rebate dollars are going back to the AD members is critical. It creates a sense of a mutual partnership – we both have skin in the game. Year in and year out AD members continue to outperform the market. Every dollar spent in investing in AD has a superior return, so for a manufacturer like us it's a great investment and it's one that we're never worried to make year in and year out.

100% Supplier Rebate Returns

AD is the only buying/marketing group in North America who returns 100% of supplier rebates. We do this by tightly controlling our costs and by making conservative investments, which cover all of our operating costs. Our rebates are a significant source of income for our members, often representing 50% of their bottom line. You can rest assured your investment is used wisely.

 

Rebates That Drive Behavior

Every manufacturer has rebates, but these rebates often fail to produce the desired results and become just another cost of sales. AD rebates truly influence distributor behavior – they drive conversions, increase shelf space, influence end-user brand preference and accelerate growth.

 

Rebate Management

The AD finance team is dedicated to tracking and reporting your rebates, and our robust reporting allows our members to see all of their rebates in one place. From the largest distributor to the smallest, we take a complex and time consuming task and make it painless, transparent and easy for our supplier partners.

 

Robust Financial Controls

Every year AD undergoes annual third party audits by the AD Board Audit Committee and by the big four firms. Our member-led Board of Directors has complete transparency in our financial results and investment management. Our professional financial and accounting associates ensure every dollar is spent efficiently, driving mutual profitability.
