We've been fortunate to work with some of the most respected manufacturers and retailers in the industry, as well as help a number of new companies set a path for success. Below are some of the kind words we've received from our clients:
"I work with hundreds of reps to source products. That experience led me to have a lot of respect for Tom and his craft. He always comes to appointments prepared not only with recommendations, but with detailed history of my previous selections and including items I looked at but didn't eventually select. He's a great listener, adapting to the product strategies and direction I voice. Many reps would merely present "top-ten sellers', but Tom would bring pre-considered options based on his understanding of my demographic and would quickly shift directions if I wasn't loving what I was seeing. Follow-up is another strength of Tom's. Not only would he pay attention during our meetings, but he'd be taking notes. I'd get exactly what I need, when I needed it without additional work on my end. Every industry has a few stellar reps and the Toy Industry has a great one with Tom."

“Revenew Sales thinks beyond just placing a product in our catalog. They take the time to understand our unique needs and have the expertise to step back and view the entire merchandising process with a strategic lens. They understand our margin requirements, packaging design, logistics flow, and production calendar and take these into consideration when making a recommendation.”
Jeanne Parker – Buyer, Orvis Catalog
"Revenew Sales helped us in the early development of our game assortment for our corporate stores. They helped us identify variables of focus that were critical to our consumer and channel differentiation. They also introduced us to new game manufacturers and hot new games for inclusion in our assortment, which have performed very well for us."
