What is the difference between a distributor and an OTC? |
|
Both will typically buy directly from the manufacturer and sell to salons. An OTC
however, will have a store where they sell to the public and salon professionals
(80% of business must be to salon and spa professionals to get on the business floor). A distributor
will not have a store but a warehouse to store their product. |

|
What is a manufacturer representative? |

Manufacturer, distributor, salons - who buys what from who? |
|
A manufacturer creates the product - then a distributor / OTC will buy their product
and sell it to salon owners and professionals - salon owners will sell to the public. |
