 News Release Retex Announces Strategic Partnership with SampleSecure.com Retex Members Can Now Realize Bigger Savings on Retail Marketing Support Services "Retex was founded on the principle of retailers working on behalf of retailers, to cut through the red tape of rebates and combat the high prices of new technology," explains President Charles V. Presti, "We grew our services to meet the needs of our membership base and have never lost sight of the primary goal - lowering costs with volume buying. Now we're poised to grow again. This time into the retail marketing support service industry side of the business." By growing, Presti is referring to Retex’s new business relationship with privately owned SampleSecure.com, retail's only online, full service, in-store advertising network. SampleSecure.com consolidated the top retail marketing support service companies in the USA for online purchase and easy in-house program management. "I'll admit my ears perked up when I heard the word free," Presti confirmed. "But, I'm suspicious by nature and so I'm immediately looking for hidden or high service/maintenance costs. In this case however, the savings are real and more than enough to warrant our involvement. Now we can bring Retex members local-market pricing on demo/event labor coupled with free in-house, online event program management; and bigger savings with direct market costs on merchandising, mystery shopping and fulfillment services - all designed to help reduce costs by up to 5% on labor and overstock issues. Via our exclusive arrangement SampleSecure’s full service online network is being provided free to all Retex members that want to manage their in-store/on-location demonstrations and one-on-one marketing events in-house for higher profits.” Samplesecure.com co-founders, Martin Ehrhard and Rae Romanoff approached Retex after reviewing the capabilities of several industry associations. "After reviewing the services currently offered to their members and knowing the potential of what they could also provide to future supplier members, the decision to go with Retex was sound," explains Romanoff. "We were impressed with their track record of savings and their on-going commitment to fair pricing. They also understand our technology process and share our long-term goal of being the industry's complete source for online ordering of professional retail marketing support services. After all, there's one retail technology buying consortium for a reason - lowering costs works best if one entity negotiates."
