Getting customers to choose your company!
Price, quality and availability are key measures of vendor performance although there is little differentiation to be gained on these buying influences alone.

Increasingly, distributors are developing catalog strategies, both in print and online, to respond to these expectations. Below are some trends as they relate to end-user expectations and vendor solutions.
