Do it Best announces 2024 Spring Open Buying Day

FORT WAYNE, IN — Do it Best will host this year’s Spring Open Buying Day on April 24 at its world headquarters in Fort Wayne, IN. The company aims to expand the range of products from domestic and international vendors for its member-owners.

Qualified vendors will meet with the Merchandising team to introduce their company and products, and to learn about potential business opportunities with Do it Best.

“Finding new and innovative products and expanding our supplier base is key to driving continued growth for our members,” says Vice President of Merchandising Jason Stofleth. “Open Buying Days provide vendors with opportunities to efficiently and effectively share their products with thousands of independent business owners worldwide, thanks to our extensive distribution network. We continue to be impressed with the participation in these events, and we look forward to building on that success again this year.”

The newest Do it Best vendors will receive featured placement at the company’s semi-annual markets. The company’s fall market will be held September 6-9, 2024 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, and next year’s spring market will be held March 21-23 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.

Vendors interested in participating should visit doitbestonline.com/become-a-vendor to complete the registration questionnaire, which begins the registration process. Participation includes a required $300 non-refundable donation to the Do it Best Foundation. Space is limited.
