Testimonials

The (Atlanta) OneCoast Showroom looked great and, as always, everyone was so hospitable and helpful.  Previous to starting my retail store Shady Ladies, I managed many showrooms, so I notice lots of things other buyers may not.

Your OneCoast Seminar was great and very applicable!  I have already started a preferred buyer’s file box, and thrown out my "coupon" mindset and replaced it with using "gift certificates.”

You have assembled a great team, and people like OneCoast sales representatives make my business easier.

To Whom It May Concern:

Natural Life has had the sincere pleasure of working with One Coast Southwest for the past 18 months. During this time, they have increased our independent road sales by 400%!

Their team has far surpassed our expectations, and in addition to their success on the road, they are a joy to work with. Some of the qualities and proficiencies we appreciate most in them include consistent and clear communication, absolute professionalism, genuine warmth and hospitality, constant and effective associate training and betterment, proactive sales management and marketing, and the care they take in dealing with their customers, vendors and staff.

In addition, it's been a very long time since we've counted Dallas within our top five shows. Since our switch to One Coast Southwest, the Dallas market is our second best show of the year! And it's more than just Natural Life's great product line, it's One Coast Southwest's vision and diligence in merchandising and marketing our product line within their Dallas home, and their highly trained and effective sales associates that we attribute our success to.

We couldn't be happier...

"The gift & home décor industry is no stranger to change. Our company, Scentations, has over twenty years of change to be exact. It is not uncommon for a gift company to be associated with one rep organization for 5 years; but for 20 years, it is unconceivable. From our early days with Team Helveston to our current partnership with OneCoast Southeast, we have grown our company as a leader in the home fragrance industry. The relationships between our reps and retailers continue to increase. In fact, the relationship has proven so successful, we hired OneCoast Southwest as well.

OneCoast show representation is awesome. The Atlanta showroom excels in one-stop shopping for the retailer. Their line package is strong and keeps the doors open to all types of retailers.

To summarize, OneCoast Southeast can offer a gift & home decor manufacturer loyalty, professionalism, teamwork and success. I would be glad to provide any additional knowledge about OneCoast Southeast and their reputation in the gift & home décor industry."

"OneCoast Southeast has represented Accents & Occasions for more than five years and over that time OCSE has continually proven to be one of our top performing sales groups nationwide. Their sales management team, hiring practices, innovative thinking and training are just a few of the reasons this group is tremendously successful for Accents & Occasions in the Southeast. Should anyone wish to discuss OneCoast Southeast in greater detail, please feel free to call me."

"Dear OneCoast Northeast,

AHAVA has had the pleasure of joining the OneCoast family. In addition to being organized, dedicated, reliable and creative, the OneCoast team is polite, professional and a joy to work with.

The Territory Managers immediately hit the ground running with enthusiasm. Their follow up is incredible and you can count on them to follow through. Their level of service is unparalleled. OneCoast accounts are always satisfied with their Territory Managers. Customer satisfaction is priority one for AHAVA and, in addition to fantastic sales, OneCoast provides the customer service we require. Their standards for service and sales are without equal.

OneCoast Management is also outstanding. The Sales Managers are organized, approachable and a pleasure to work with. They keep their team of Territory Managers motivated and they help to map goals and forecast sales. The VPs keep everything within the organization running smoothly and maintain the high standards from everyone at all levels. It is remarkable that nothing falls to the wayside at OneCoast.

Since AHAVA joined the OneCoast family (it truly feels like a family) in the Northeast, the brand has seen amazing growth. The OneCoast team has taken AHAVA to a new level and continues to succeed. We recently joined the OneCoast Northwest family and have seen outstanding growth in a very short time. The OneCoast organization provides consistent service in all their territories. It makes us very happy to be able to count on OneCoast. We thank them for everything and look forward to continued growth and success."

"OneCoast Northeast Gift has been representing our line for over 2 years now. Each year they have successfully grown the business within their territory both on the road and during shows. They are all a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them for any vendor."

"We have been with OneCoast Northeast in New York and New Jersey for many years. The Territory Managers are very dedicated to our brand and its success. They truly add value by going the extra mile to ensure the utmost service is given to accounts, and it shows in the sales results. I feel confident that they are out there every day making the best decisions for our brand."

I want to let you know how impressed I have been with OneCoast and how pleased and confident I am to have OneCoast represent us.

Before Beatriz Ball Collection decided to partner with OneCoast, we had been solicited by many other rep organizations and had the opportunity to explore other possibilities. However, after reviewing our choices, no other group was able to offer the "complete package" that OneCoast offers its vendors.

The things that really impressed us were:

• OneCoast Sales Training – In our experience, no other sales organization invests such crucial energy and resources in training their sales force. My sales manager, Kelly Wenzel, attended OneCoast University so she could understand and participate in this training. Kelly came back enthused about the superlative training, fantastic sales-building and monitoring tools, and state-of-the-art software introduced to increase productivity both during markets and while on the road.
• OneCoast Marketing Initiatives – By branding your showrooms across the nation retailers attending any market know the OneCoast name stands for excellence. Conducting seminars, sending out monthly email newsletters to vendors & retailers along with promoting wholesale internet shopping on their website are some of the ways OC is committed to adding value to both retailers &vendors.

Since joining OneCoast back in 2005, we continue seeing our business grow each year. The combination of excellence in the showroom environment and professionalism in a trained sales force is unique and has served our company very well.

Two years ago, a OneCoast Territory Manager saw LittleMissMatched profiled on the local news. She emailed us and suggested that we use OneCoast as a sales management organization. How's that for proactivity!

At the time, we had just launched our brand with a few key accounts. This territory manager coordinated a meeting with her Sales Manager, and subsequently, OneCoast took us under their wing and facilitated our launch into the Gift industry with great success.

From our initial launch with OneCoast NE, we are now with OneCoast in 28 states. I can’t thank OneCoast enough. They have directed our Gift industry launch with key strategic thinking, strong selling, fantastic tradeshow/showrooms and more.

Our business grew over 200% last year and we project similar growth this year!
