Sales & Retail Placement
Direct relationships with key buyers across every major U.S. retail channel.
Overview
How CPI Delivers Sales & Retail Placement
U.S. retail is a relationship business. Category buyers at Walmart, Target, Costco, Kroger, Home Depot, and thousands of other accounts see hundreds of pitches a year — and buy from people they trust. CPI's team brings 100+ years of combined retail experience and a nationwide network of power brokers built over generations.
We prepare your sell-in like insiders: category review decks built on the retailer's own data and planogram logic, velocity stories from your e-commerce and test-market performance, and margin structures that survive slotting, promotions, and chargebacks. Then we get you in the room — presenting directly to buyers and managing broker and distributor networks where they add reach.
Placement is the beginning, not the end. We negotiate terms, coordinate first shipments against OTIF windows, and stay engaged through the critical first reorder — because an order is not an order until it is a reorder.
