Annual buying event


For consumer products companies participating in the Annual Buying Event, once your contract is approved, you may visit the Annual Buying Event page in AB Setup to add your items. 

Over 125 suppliers participate in the Annual Buying Event, offering over 3,500 items from 30 OTC categories at an average discount of 14%.  Item submission for the Event opens on March 1 and will close on May 31. Items must be submitted by May 31 to be included in the published product lists.  Only over-the-counter (OTC) items are allowed in the Event. 

The Event will run online from July 1 through July 31, and on the exhibit show floor during ThoughtSpot.  Customers will be able to order through the ABC Order website or the ABC Order app.  Orders are placed with suppliers from August 1-15, and the items are expected to ship to our distribution centers from September 15 through October 15.

A complete list of items on promotion is included online in the July Retail Remedy magazine and on the Consumer Products page of ABC Order.
