Distributor Information.

For a number of reasons, Olympic Arms has developed a program allowing actual dealers to become distributors on a local level. As a Dealer Distributors (DD), you will be buying at the same level as nationwide distributors like RSR, Lew Horton, FAC. By buying at true distributor pricing levels, it will allow the local Dealer Distributors DD to set up a regional network of other dealers in their area as customers of theirs. Here is how it works:

Are you eligible?
If you have an FFL, you are eligible. But before you can buy into the program, you must first ascertain whether or not there is already a Dealer Distributor in your area. Because DD's have a protected territory, we must make sure we have room for you in the program based on location and demographics. You can do so by looking at the map on the web site. If there is no participating DD in your area, or if we feel that your area could support an additional DD, you are welcome to come on board. If there is a DD near you, please give us a call to see if your area is large enough to support another DD.

Buy In
To become a DD, as you can imagine, we do require a "buy-in". We do this to weed out those dealers that may not be financially stable, and to ensure that those dealers that do get involved in the DD program are confident enough in themselves and their staff to make this program a success for both themselves and for Olympic Arms.

The buy-in is 20 units. In order to get into the DD program, you have to make an initial purchase of 20 guns. You as a dealer are not limited to just our AR15 style PCR rifles, but can also include any of our Safari Arms 1911 pistols or even Law Enforcement only (non-class III) products. (LE Only purchases do require the filing of some additional paperwork.) This initial firearms purchase can be mixed and matched to suit your particular needs, and may include any complete firearms offered in our catalog. Our only requirement and restrictions are as follows:

The initial order for 20 pieces MUST include at least 2 of the 1911 series pistols from the Safari or Olympic Arms line, and cannot include more than 8 Plinker* models.

As a DD, you will be purchasing at true distributor pricing, a full 12% off of the actual advertised dealer pricing. Not, 5% or 7%, but a full 12%! This means that you can sell to other dealers in your area, make up to 10% profit on these guns and still be able to sell to that dealer for 2% or more LESS than what they can buy the product for directly from Olympic Arms. 10% profit, just for doing a transfer to another dealer!

This is an outstanding deal that will allow you to create a local network of dealer customers to help boost your sales. The incentive is there for you to make a great deal of money, and the profit margin is potential very large on the retail end.

Here is some of the reasoning behind the program; as local dealers, you folks know the territory best. You know your market, your customer base, and if you're on the ball, you know your competitors as well as yourself! God said, "Love your enemies", and George Patton said, "Stay close to your friends and even closer to your enemies". What better way to do so than to make them your customers! The DD program is the way to do just that.

Other than the initial buy in, the DD program only has one other requirement; that you maintain an average volume of sales totaling 8 units per month. That's all, just 8 guns per month. You can do this in any manner you like. Wholesale, retail, gun shows, it matter snot to us, as long as you maintain that 8 gun per month average.

Notice that we said average. We know that there will be some slow months here and there. We can be a bit flexible, but it must average 8 guns per months for the year. If you miss the goal of 8 units per month every once in a while, and only move 6 or 7 units, that's OK. It's when you miss the requirement 3 or 4 months in a row, or your yearly total is way under the agreed 96 units a year that we may look into your status. If this should happen, we may re-evaluate your status, and see if there is anything we can do to help.

That's it! It truly is that simple.

This program works. DD's already on line with us are already reaping the benefits of referrals from Olympic Arms, and the advertising is not even out yet! Many of our new DD's have received referrals from our web site within 2 days of signing up. Many other DD's have already increased their territories!

Just to boost your security, this is not a contractual obligation. Your word is all that it takes to seal the deal. We do not send automatic shipments. Signing up for this program does not mean that we ship you 2 guns a week every week whether you want them or not. We only ship what you order, when you order it. But you still must meet the 8 guns per month minimum requirement.

I hope this is enough information to give you a pretty good idea of how the program works, and the benefits that it can bring you. If you are a dealer and are considering becoming a Dealer Distributor, please feel free to give me a call personally and I'll be happy to spend all the time together we need to satisfy any questions you may have.

*The Plinker model is the only complete gun offered by Olympic Arms that does not come with the full 12% discount. The Plinker does have reduced price for DD's and Wholesalers only. Call for details.
