JCPenney Vendor
JCPenney boasts a presence with over 860 stores across 49 states in the United States and Puerto Rico. The scale of their operations is truly remarkable employing than 98,000 individuals in their stores alone. This highlights the buying power they possess.
I mention this because people often overlook the potential of selling at JCPenney. It’s important to keep them on your radar. While there may have been concerns about their future at one point they still offer opportunities. Continue to make substantial purchases. In short, JCPenney remains a marketplace for sellers.
Products Sought by JCPenney
The thing about dealing with JCPenney is that they openly disclose what types of products they are interested, in purchasing.
They purchase a total of 22 products, for women’s clothing and 21 for mens clothing and accessories. This means that they have a combined 40 products dedicated to apparel for both genders. It’s impressive that they openly share this information on their website and other platforms. Additionally they offer 15 products in the home goods category. They also have a selection of children’s apparel, family footwear, handbags and fine jewelry. Moreover they sell types of products.
It is worth considering that if you have any offerings in the realm of women’s clothing, mens clothing, accessories or related categories JCPenney would be interested in purchasing them. Their children’s department is highly. Their sales in the home goods category are significant well. In addition to their core business areas mentioned earlier JCPenney also offers a range of products.
One noteworthy development is their partnership with Sephora; Sephora now has a presence within JCPenney stores. This could greatly benefit your business if you offer beauty products or related items since there is a cosmetic section, within JCPenney stores. Sephora is currently quite popular. This collaboration has the potential to expand your business opportunities significantly.
If you’re considering approaching JCPenney I have one piece of advice, for you. If you own a business that’s either women owned or minority owned it would be beneficial to obtain the certification. For women owned businesses visit wewbenc.org and for minority owned companies a simple Google search for minority owned business certification will guide you.
Certifications
The significance of this certification lies in the fact that once you acquire it you can present yourself as a woman or minority owned company to organizations like JCPenney. They highly value suppliers with backgrounds and clienteles which means they are always on the lookout for businesses like yours. This places you in a position with JCPenney. Their commitment to diversity aligns well with their customer base.
So if your goal is to start selling to JCPenney remember that they actively seek out vendors from backgrounds. And here’s an interesting tidbit; if you happen to be a veteran owned company that could be particularly exciting for them. For women entrepreneurs it’s definitely worth exploring since their product range involves accessories and other items that align well with what companies, like yours offer.
Ultimately my intention was simply to encourage you to reconsider JCPenney as an opportunity worth exploring.If you’re interested, in learning the approach, pitch and choice of words for reaching out to JCPenney I highly recommend visiting my website RetailMBA.com.
