How does the LBD store work?
LongboardDirectory.com enables several companies to sell their products to a much larger audience than they might have available to them on their own website. LongboardDirectory.com acts as a “Value added reseller”, which works like this: 1. LBD sells items at retail price plus shipping 2. LBD transfers order information and wholesale price plus shipping to Supplier, while also transferring Supplier contact information to the Customer. 3. Supplier assumes responsibility for the order (and is under contract to fulfill it) 4. Supplier ships item to the customer. The supplier benefits from more sales volume, building brand awareness and developing a customer base. The customer benefits by being able to conveniently order unique items from a central location, while being able to make a secure purchase through LongboardDirectory.com’s binding agreement with its suppliers. The store (LongboardDirectory.com) benefits by producing additional revenue to support the site’s activities and hosting
