Membership benefits

Everything your membership puts to work.

Vendor savings, retail education, trend guidance, and events, all in one place.

Member savings

Savings through vendor partnerships.

PPP retail members receive built-in savings and buying advantages through vendor partners across key retail categories, the kind of leverage no single shop can build alone.

  • An average of 10% off wholesale pricing across participating vendors
  • Net 30 or better terms from many partners
  • No inflated minimums designed to push larger orders than you need
  • PPP Essentials: preferred pricing on practical, everyday products from select manufacturers
  • Seasonal programs, events, and partner incentives throughout the year
Clear buying advantages, paired with vendor relationships that understand independent retail, are what keep your margins strong all year.
Once a year

Good to know

A few questions, answered.

Who is PPP designed for?

PPP supports independent retailers who want practical buying advantage and ongoing connection with vendors and peers.

Is membership per store?

Yes. Each store joins individually, so vendor access and program support stay simple and direct.

Do I have to order from every vendor?

No. Members choose the partners that fit their store and their customers.

Can PPP discounts be combined with show specials?

Members may choose the best available offer for each order. PPP discounts are not combined with other promotions.
