Here is How You Get Your Products Listed at Dick's Sporting Goods, Bass Pro Shops, & Academy Sports
Getting listed on shelves of Dick's Sporting Goods, Baas Pro Shops, and Sports Authority may seem like a tedious task, but it can be split up into two phases. The first step is submitting your product for approval and the second is meeting their EDI requirements. Understanding these phases is curtail since this process does take a bit of time and retailers have strict regulations that you must abide by. Retailers have these regulations in order to be able to work with 100s or even 1000s of suppliers like yourself. EDI compliancy makes it easy for them to process and organize large amounts of data.
Step 1: Submit for Product Approval
Before you get listed, you must submit your product for listing review. Retailers are always looking for new and exciting products they can offer their customer base. Below you’ll find links to product approval guidelines for Dick's Sporting Goods, Bass Pro Shops and Academy Sports.
