Group Buy Initiatives
The Consorta Group Buy Program delivers significant value to both
the Consorta membership and contracted suppliers. The Program
supports the formation of win-win purchasing events which
essentially exchange increased sales volume for
better-than-agreement product price savings. Below are some of
the different Group Buy methods that may be employed based on
product category and member dynamics.
- Product Promotions
- Preferred Group Buys
- Reverse Auctions
- Pre-committed Volume Purchases
- Live Group Buy Events
- Volume Incentive Purchases
All Consorta contracted suppliers within a given product or
service category are provided with an equal opportunity to sponsor
or actively participate in all Group Buy events.
Participating suppliers have their established time-limited
better-than-agreement pricing highlighted to the Consorta membership
through the monthly Group Buy e-Newsletter, the Group Buy Web page,
and verbal communication at appropriate Consorta committee meetings.
The increased communication channels serve to drive member interest
towards the sponsoring suppliers, motivating Consorta members to
purchase during the specified Group Buy timeframe.
Every attempt is made to provide each supplier (within a
multi-source product category) with the opportunity to sponsor a
sole source Group Buy during the timeframe of their choice.
