Retail Excellence Ireland Affinity Programme 2010 | 2011
REI Affinity Partners 2010 | 2011 (Click Here For Details)
Background to the Affinity Programme
Retail Excellence Ireland have invited experienced supply companies in Energy, Telecommunications, Insurance, Waste Management, Security, Secure Cash In Transit Services, Media Buying, Property, In Store Music | Digital Media and Financial Services to tender for the supply of services to our 590 retail brand members (representing 8,500 retail stores in Ireland) in becoming an affinity partner of REI for 2010 | 2011.
In the current economic downturn with declining sales, our retail members are looking at new and more efficient ways of doing business and cutting unnecessary costs which in turn can be passed on to the customer. We have partnered with one company (in each category of service) who have experience in the supply of utility services to the Irish retail industry and who have guaranteed us a member pricing structure for the provision of these services.
This is a critical time for Irish Retailers in reducing costs in their efforts to stay in business. We believe that an affinity package with significant cost reductions would not only ensure that our 590 retail brand members will remain in business through this downturn in the economy but would add greatly to the bottom line and send a positive message to the Irish market (Irish Service Providers get together to ensure the survival of Irish Retail)
