WATERLOO, Iowa; November 13, 2009… VGM Club’s Cash Back Advantage program has paid back over $1.5 million to participating members in 2009.
The Cash Back Advantage (CBA) program includes rebates on over 350 nationally branded food and non-food manufacturers. These manufacturers include companies such as Tyson, Sara Lee, Unilever, Frito Lay, Heinz and many more.
All VGM Club members are eligible to enroll in the CBA program. VGM Club currently receives purchasing data for their members from over 160 broadline food distributors throughout the United States. Members can enroll their accounts with any food distributor(s) they are using at their facility; purchases are then aggregated and submitted to the participating manufacturers for payment.
In addition to the volume allowances offered by the nationally branded manufacturers, members also receive savings from contracted pricing on many of these products through a select group of contracted distributors. “The deviated pricing programs offered by many of our partners has produced additional savings for our members of over $1 Million YTD” stated D.Jay Ellis, President and CEO of VGM Club.
Other companies included in the Cash Back Advantage program include Club Car, Jacobsen, ALSCO and John Deere Turf. VGM Club members who support these participating suppliers qualify to receive rebates on a quarterly or annual basis.
“As the economy continues to struggle and significantly impact spending for our members, these types of programs become more and more important as part of an overall business plan” commented Ellis. “The flexibility we offer allows our members to operate independently and make decisions at a local level while leveraging the benefits of a group with over $1 Billion in purchasing power.” He added.
VGM Club is celebrating 15 years in business in 2009. For a complete listing of participating suppliers and benefits as a VGM Club member, please visit www.vgmclub.com
