Today, Victra stands as an independent corporate titan headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, with a dedicated Store Support Center housing more than 200 skilled professionals. In 2020, Victra further expanded its operational prowess by opening the Victra Contact Center in Greenville, NC, a state-of-the-art facility that employs hundreds of team members.

Victra's impressive growth and strategic dealer and partner initiatives began in 2021 when they established their Verizon Wireless Sub Agent Program. This ambitious initiative created signi cant opportunities for wireless businesses to experience exponential growth, foster collaboration between stores and peers, and, with the collective power of many working together, establish longevity and staying power in a carrier-ruled marketplace.

An interview with Boost Mobile and MobileX founder and his team PETER ADDERTON

At Wireless Dealer Magazine, we’re always on the hunt for innovative and game-changing companies. Recently, we had the opportunity to sit down with the team behind MobileX, a pioneering MVNO—including founder Peter Adderton—to uncover the secrets behind their successful wireless partnership program. In our candid conversation, we explored their origins, perks and the future of MobileX. Here’s what we discovered.

MobileX has generated a lot of excitement among wireless dealers. What do you think sets you apart in the wireless industry?

As one of the few independent MVNOs in this consolidating industry, MobileX and wireless dealers are an essential part of the wireless ecosystem. Our independence from larger carriers allows us to o er dealers the power to diversify their o erings, earn more money faster, and protect their revenue streams. We believe this is essential in maintaining a healthy and competitive market, providing consumers with greater access and convenience.

MobileX has a pretty strong reputation. Can you tell us more about the leadership and vision behind the company?

Absolutely. MobileX was created by the same team that brought you Boost Mobile, spearheaded by our founder Peter Adderton, who also founded both Boost Mobile and Digital Turbine. Peter is a visionary, thought-provoking industry veteran in the mobile industry with over 20 years of experience. He’s always been a staunch advocate for wireless dealers, especially since the Sprint-T-Mobile merger.

What message would you like to share with prospective dealers?

If you’re looking to diversify your revenue streams, earn more money faster, and partner with an exciting and reputable MVNO, MobileX is the ideal choice. We’re committed to supporting our dealers and helping them thrive in this ever-evolving industry. Prospective dealers can visit dealer.mymobilex.com to find out more information.

What kind of marketing support does MobileX provide to dealers?

We understand the importance of having engaging marketing materials to drive sales and customer engagement. MobileX excels in creating eye-catching materials like our double-sided posters, dealer stickers and counter cards featuring tear-away pricing grids. These tools are designed to captivate customers and support our dealers’ sales e orts.

Can you elaborate on how MobileX is building its brand?

Our brand is built on disruption and innovation. We support NASCAR by giving new drivers a chance to race in the NASCAR Cup Series, and we're involved in motocross as well as the Winter and Summer X Games. These initiatives not only reflect our commitment to pushing boundaries but also help increase our brand’s awareness. And this is just the beginning for us at MobileX.

Can you discuss MobileX’s compensation structure for dealers?

Our compensation structure is designed with dealers in mind. We o er instant activation spi s up to 200% of the MRC ($20-$100 paid instantly from the first month for every new or ported activation), competitive top-up margins, and customer lifetime residuals. Currently, dealers can sell our Unlimited $20, $30, and $50 plans, with the $50 plan catering to consumers who prefer unrestricted data. All plans include top-tier hotspots ranging from 5GB to 15GB and cover all government taxes, subsidies and fees. We’re also excited to be launching our flagship Personalized Access plan later this year.

Thank you! We’re super-excited about what the future holds and look forward to working closely with dealers to transform the wireless landscape together!

Innovative Tech Driving Wireless Retail Sales

Wireless Dealer Magazine recently met with Brad MacArthur, the visionary Founder and CEO of TracPoint, to gain insights into the company’s impressive legacy and pioneering innovations. For over 20 years, TracPoint has been at the forefront of the wireless industry, o ering groundbreaking marketing technology solutions. As a marketing technology company, they build innovative software products and mobile apps speci cally designed to boost sales for multi-location wireless retailers. TracPoint’s mission has always been to push the boundaries of what's possible in marketing technology.

The launch of their custom mobile app platform marks a signi cant milestone. This platform uniquely combines marketing innovation with the speci c needs of each wireless retailer. By enabling both employees and customers to network, generate referrals, share more reviews, promote products, and create customer loyalty, there is simply no other marketing platform that can compare.

TracPoint has executed thousands of marketing campaigns for wireless retailers across the US and Canada. It quickly became evident that employees lacked the tools to share promotions, drive referrals, encourage repeat business, or make a true connection with the customer. Based on this insight, TracPoint developed a platform that leverages the biggest asset each company has – their employees. This pivotal understanding has been instrumental in shaping their solutions to meet the needs of their clients e ectively.

Their platform empowers businesses to modernize their sales force by providing representatives with easy access to promote digital o ers, drive sales, and create customer loyalty with their own mobile app and digital business card. Each employee has an average of over 1,000 people in their network when considering their contacts and social media connections. This creates a massive opportunity for businesses to extend their reach not only to customers but also deep into their employees' network of friends and family, driving sales signi cantly. The app platform achieves this by providing a modern, e cient, and highly e ective tool for today's sales teams.

Imagine your customer walking out of your store with your branded app installed on their mobile home screen, showcasing your current promotions along with the salesperson’s digital business card. As a customer, they can view all your promotions, refer the representative, and even leave a review. Should they need any support, they can simply tap on the app to quickly call or email the representative. It's a seamless and highly engaging experience.

Brad MacArthur Founder & CEO TracPoint

Because the app platform is a progressive web app, there is no need to download it from the Google Play Store or App Store. The apps work across all devices and can be shared and installed in seconds. Innovative features include the ability to send push noti cations and deploy digital promotions across the platform live within minutes. Customers can create unique and engaging promotions, including carrier device o ers, scratch-o games, referral rewards, digital punch cards, and serialized coupons to track redemptions. These features provide a versatile and powerful toolset for their clients.

TracPoint builds the app to re ect their clients' branding, adds all the store locations, employees, and promotions, and then provides the client with full access to the dashboard. From there, clients can self-manage, send push noti cations, update promotions, and view detailed analytics of app installs and usage. TracPoint continues to work closely with clients, sharing best practices to maximize ROI. The typical turnaround time is 10 business days from build to deployment. Their commitment to ongoing support ensures that clients get the most out of their solutions.

Brad MacArthur concluded by expressing his excitement for the future and supporting wireless retailers in achieving their sales and marketing goals.

Got Stock? Device Packaging & Shipping

In an exclusive conversation with Wireless Dealer Magazine, Chipsalz shared insights into their unique approach to providing packaging solutions for the electronic reuse market. This is what they had to say.

Chipsalz is the leading U.S. supplier of best-in-class ESD packaging solutions for reselling IT assets. Our products serve the electronic reuse market. While market standards for packaging do not exist, the need to maximize process e ciency, including how products ready for market are packaged and protected, has created a demand for a reliable supplier. Chipsalz answered that call.

"Chipsalz stocks the largest selection of packaging options for the widest range of components. In an industry that functions on ‘no forecast,’ we add value with our huge selection of stock and same-day shipping."

In every way, Chipsalz is di erent. "We strive to o er multi-use and size-con gurable designs," they continued. "We avoid design choices that prevent our customers from realizing cost bene ts of mass marketing." Their products are strategically stocked on the west coast, central region, and east coast. Their value proposition also extends to shipping costs, as they meticulously manage each order to ensure the most economical shipping for their customers.

Chipsalz is also a memory reseller. "Early on, we struggled to nd a consistent supply of necessary trays needed to sell Grade A memory," they shared. "As soon as we had memory trays to sell, we received unsolicited requests to add other products. The feedback was consistent: the packaging process was taking too long and quality was not controlled." Today, Chipsalz stocks single through multi-pack solutions for MEMORY, CPU, HDD, SSD, OPTICS, LAPTOP, CHROMEBOOK, IPAD, CELL PHONE, NETWORK CARDS, and ESD BAGS.

"Chipsalz products are designed and selected for the Grade A market," they emphasized. "We have achieved a successful balance between quality protective options and maximum cost-e ectiveness. Our back-end processes, where replenishment decisions are always in motion, are critical for maintaining our stock and same-day shipping commitments. We maintain a uid process so that our customers can depend on us for immediate response and order ful llment."

Chipsalz is proud of the reputation they have built with a wide variety of customers in the e-reuse market, including e-recyclers, ITAD, IT resellers, and Fortune 500 Corporations that are turning over legacy equipment. "More recently, we have introduced services that provide packaging kits shipped to site, ready to load and ship to the processing center," they added.

"We work closely with our vendors and customers because the details matter," Chipsalz told Wireless Dealer Magazine. "Product specs, dimensions, value, and the sales channel are key in deciding the right packaging t."

Whether purchasing nished products or raw materials, quality control is paramount. Chipsalz readily provides samples to customers and encourages rigorous testing to ensure all facets of their packaging meet internal requirements.

Chipsalz’s extensive research focuses on o ering multi-use designs. For example, their Premium Laptop Shipper Kit can accommodate 10 full-size 13”, 15”, or 17” laptops or con gure to t 40 Chromebooks or iPads. Similarly, their 48CT Cell Phone partition kit can also be used for 2.5” HDDs.

"Chipsalz releases new products every month, aiming to stay ahead of the industry," they stated. They coordinate closely with customers to remain on the cutting edge and support new products with innovative solutions.

Customization is a key service, varying from private labeling to creating solutions from scratch. Their design team works hands-on with customers, addressing o -the-shelf packaging shortcomings and closely examining forecasts and budgets.

"Striking a balance with our customers for easy replenishment systems while maintaining uid communication on new products and processes is vital," they emphasized. This learning process involves physical visits to customers and asking the right questions to understand their goals and challenges. Chipsalz attends trade shows throughout the year, aiming to be in front of potential customers as often as possible. Learning from customers has been the key to their success.

Currently, the cell phone market has their attention, and Chipsalz has just released their fourth design—a 50CT multipack kit with greater slot height to support phones as large as the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Chipsalz continues to lead the industry with their innovative, customer-focused approach, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of the electronic reuse market with top-tier ESD packaging solutions.

Turning Damage Into Dollars.

Fully Functional Used Phones Represents a Goldmine For Wireless Retailers.

BUT...

How Can Repair Shops Find a Consistent Flow of Broken Phones & Parts?

Wireless Dealer Magazine recently discovered a lucrative reseller program from Mannapov LLC that presents one of the most promising opportunities we've seen for wireless repair retailers in quite some time! Here's what we found out.

Mannapov LLC, a leading gure in the wireless industry, has emerged as a pivotal player by o ering a wide range of used and damaged phones at competitive wholesale prices. This enables retailers to diversify their inventory, capture larger market shares, and reduce their environmental impact.

By sourcing these devices at wholesale prices, shops can o er customers high-quality alternatives to new phones at attractive price points. This strategy appeals to budget-conscious consumers and those looking to reduce their environmental impact.

Repair shops can make more money NOT repairing customer phones. HOW?

extends beyond selling fully functional used phones. Damaged phones, when acquired at deep discounts, can be transformed into valuable assets.

CONSIDER the numerous phones in your store over the years needing repairs, tucked away in boxes and drawers. One day, you or an employee realize that the part needed is now available, along with the skill to make the phone repair, turning each device into a pro table sale.

NOW IMAGINE , actively seeking out damaged phones and replacement parts, using your purchasing power and repair expertise to refurbish them into new valuable phones ready to be sold. Now you start scaling your business up from repairing a few phones a year to refurbishing hundreds of phones.

BY PARTNERING with Mannapov LLC, you can acquire damaged phones at a fraction of the cost, refurbish them to be marketable, and make a greater pro t compared to repairing phones for individual customers. By collaborating with Mannapov LLC, you can leverage your repair skills to establish a lucrative new revenue stream for your business.

Many repair shop owners eventually feel they hit a revenue ceiling with each store they own. When looking to significantly boost revenue, the go-to strategy is often to open a new location. However, repair shops might want to rethink this approach.

Instead of opening another store, consider expanding your business model. Shift from just repairing phones for individual customers to harvesting parts from broken phones and building fully functional devices. This strategy can open up new revenue streams and signi cantly enhance your business.

This mirrors the approach taken by computer repair stores when they recognized the abundance of low-cost computer parts and leveraged their deep knowledge of computer systems. Many shops transitioned from merely repairing customer computers to proactively sourcing parts to build and sell refurbished desktops. In many cases, the retail sales of refurbished computers surpassed the pro ts from traditional repair services.

Refurbished Phone Revenue in the U.S. Surpasses $10 Billion, Projected to Exceed $23 Billion by 2030

Wireless repair shops are uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity, more so than almost any other sector in the wireless industry. Phone repair technicians can undergo specialized training to learn how to harvest phone parts and create fully functional used phones. The Mannapov Team is here to guide your store through every step of this process, ensuring your success.

Once your refurbishing business is up and running, you can o er your repair services to phone wholesalers who lack the facilities, expertise, and sta for repairs.

These wholesalers buy lower-grade phones in bulk and would eagerly partner with repair shops to handle their phone repairs.

This strategy not only fosters valuable partnerships but also opens up investment opportunities, potentially allowing many repair shops to transition into full-time phone refurbishing businesses.

By collaborating with Mannapov LLC, you can leverage your repair skills to establish a lucrative new revenue stream for your business. This approach not only boosts pro tability but also reduces electronic waste, aligning with growing consumer demand for sustainable practices.

You’ve likely seen wireless companies that began as phone wholesalers and evolved into major phone refurbishing facilities, now supplying used phones to retailers and wholesalers nationwide.

Skilled Repairs: Technicians can combine their expertise and spare parts to restore damaged phones to full functionality.

Increased Pro t Margins: Refurbished phones can be sold at higher margins than new devices or typical repairs.

Implementing the Strategy

To successfully implement this approach, wireless shops should:

Assess Spare Parts Inventory: Evaluate existing spare parts to maximize refurbishment potential.

Identify High-Demand Models: Focus on repairing and selling phones in high demand within your market.

Partner with Reliable Suppliers: Collaborate with Mannapov for consistent sourcing of damaged phones.

Sta Training: Train technicians in e cient repair techniques for damaged phones.

Develop Marketing Strategies: Promote eco-friendly, cost-e ective options to consumers.

One of the best opportunities in the wireless industry lies in leveraging the potential of damaged phones.

Transforming Retail

Communications Necessary for Modern Operations!

What does all that mean exactly?

“Landlines are going away,” said Birk. If your retail store operates its main number and security alarm from a landline now is the time to look into ways you can make your landline more a ordable to you and secure. For example, instead of replacing an expensive alarm or re panel and requiring permits, the DataRemote device allows for a drop-in landline replacement. And with its 24hour+ backup battery, it ensures business continuity in the event of a power and/or internet outage, meaning less downtime and more transactions.

“The POTS IN A BOX® is our agship product,” Brik noted. This enterprise-grade 5G router directly replaces wireline POTS lines, ensuring businesses have reliable, cost-e ective communication channels. It supports critical systems such as fax, re alarms, burglar alarms, and analog modem data, with full E-911 access and battery backup for uninterrupted service.

“Network

“We are committed to staying at the cutting edge of technology,” Brik emphasized. DataRemote ensures clients receive advanced and reliable solutions, with a strong emphasis on security and privacy, implementing rigorous data protection practices.

Brik also mentioned their partnerships with major telecommunications companies, including AT&T, MetTel, and RingCentral, which further cement DataRemote’s position as a leader in the industry. DataRemote’s solutions provide signi cant cost savings, improved reliability, and streamlined communications, making them an ideal partner for businesses looking to transform their telephone lines from copper analog lines to digital.

CTI Wireless has unique carrier partnerships that deliver industry-leading services, consistently meeting and exceeding the needs of our distribution partners and vendors.

All Wireless & Prepaid Expo

The Ultimate Show for Wireless Innovation and Industry Growth

During a recent conversation with Wireless Dealer Magazine, the All Wireless & Prepaid Expo (AWPE) team shared their excitement and pride in the remarkable growth of their event since it began in 2008. Originally launched as The Prepaid Expo, AWPE has quickly risen to prominence as the go-to event in the wireless industry, especially for prepaid wireless and value-added services. Last year's event was a standout success, thanks to the strategic expansion of key wireless verticals. The team emphasized how their dedication to uniting the wireless ecosystem to drive innovation and growth has solidi ed AWPE’s position as the industry's most in uential annual event.

Unlike other events, AWPE fosters a lively, interactive environment where deals are often sealed right on the show oor. With nearly 150 exhibitors, the event is a comprehensive one-stop shop, facilitating immediate networking and partnership formation before the expo concludes. This unique blend of veteran leadership and startup energy sets AWPE apart as a must-attend event for wireless professionals looking to stay ahead in the industry.

The team highlighted how AWPE uniquely supports the prepaid wireless sector like no other gathering. Although the event’s focus has expanded to include all facets of the wireless industry, it remains a magnet for professionals dedicated to prepaid services and value-added o erings. AWPE distinguishes itself by o ering specialized education and training that drive industry growth and open new revenue opportunities within the prepaid marketplace.

As an exhibitor, the opportunities at AWPE are unmatched. The 2023 event saw record-breaking attendance, with 62% of attendees being wireless dealers, repair shops, and electronics retailers. This diverse and targeted audience cements AWPE as the premier platform for businesses to connect with key players in the wireless industry, o ering unparalleled opportunities for networking, partnership, and growth.

The AWPE team proudly stated, “Our conference agenda is a key feature that truly sets AWPE apart. Whether you’re a seasoned industry veteran or just starting out, our sessions provide the insights needed to break into your chosen industry verticals. Attendees gain direct access to top-tier experts from leading wireless companies, including carriers like Boost, Gen Mobile, MobileX, and Verizon during this year’s keynote and carrier panel. No other event o ers the chance to hear about industry changes directly from these key executives."

Prepaid wireless remains one of the most crucial segments in the wireless industry, covering all levels of the distribution chain—from carriers and MVNOs to MVNEs, dealers, and direct-to-consumer retailers. The importance of this sector underscores the need for an annual in-person gathering, and AWPE stands alone in providing this essential opportunity. By bringing the entire wireless ecosystem together, AWPE facilitates vital connections and collaborations that propel the prepaid wireless market forward, making it the de nitive event for professionals across the distribution spectrum.

In recent years, the AWPE team has expanded their o erings to include training workshops that provide attendees with valuable skills they can immediately implement in their businesses. For example, attendees can join training tracks focused on critical skills like device repair and digital marketing. These sessions, led by industry leaders, ensure that participants gain cutting-edge knowledge and strategies, making the event indispensable for those looking to advance in the wireless industry.

Despite the event’s growth each year, the AWPE team remains committed to providing an environment that fosters meaningful networking opportunities. They emphasized their deliberate choice to keep the event within a hotel ballroom, valuing the personal atmosphere it creates. Las Vegas, known for its massive hotels, o ers the perfect setting, with expo attendees staying at the same hotel, allowing for more meetings and networking opportunities after the show. This closer, more engaging experience is something the team values and plans to maintain.

The AWPE team also underscored their strong belief in the power of industry associations and media partnerships, recognizing them as vital advocates and communicators of industry developments. Over the years, AWPE has consistently featured representation from prominent organizations such as the National Wireless Independent Dealer Association, Repair.org, and TechCare Association at their events. These partnerships provide companies with invaluable insights into working e ectively with partners, agencies, and government entities. Additionally, they highlighted that Wireless Dealer Magazine's reach in the wireless industry is UNMATCHED.

What Are Exhibitors Saying About AWPE?

"AWPE is very well organized, and the support is ultra-robust, which makes it easy for exhibitors to plan and execute with little to no hitches. It is ultra-awesome that the wireless prepaid industry has this conference, as it gives retailers a great opportunity to meet directly with companies that can help their business grow."

Anthony Scalanga | Senior Director, Channel Development, Ultra Mobile & Silver Sponsor

“Surplus Giant is proud to be a part of such a great show. Each year, this event’s exposure continues to grow, bringing in new retailers, category buyers, and decision-makers.”

Jonathan Clough | Sales Executive, Surplus Giant & Silver Sponsor

"All Wireless & Prepaid Expo is an unmissable event! The show has expanded to feature representation from the industry’s top carriers, OEMs, and essential industry partners. The nexus it creates between varied industry players is both rare and pivotal, sparking collaborations that signi cantly impact our sector.”

Alex Avery | VP, Product Strategy & Marketing, T-CETRA/VIDAPAY & Platinum Sponsor

Wireless Retail Success

After a conversation with Tony Maniscalco, Director of Sales at ReBiz, Wireless Dealer Magazine learned that if something can be tracked, counted, or monitored daily in a wireless store, ReBiz can help. ReBiz supports thousands of stores with daily reporting on key sales metrics, employee compliance, and store operations. This enhanced visibility for management translates to increased accountability, higher sales, better customer experiences, and greater pro tability. And just how much higher? ReBiz has the data on that too!

ReBiz o ers both daily monitoring and analytics, starting with data points that retailers have never seen before—such as customer-only tra c counts, rep-level conversion rates, and average interaction times. Armed with this clean data, ReBiz works with clients to analyze and enhance performance across districts, between stores, and even at the individual rep level. According to Tony Maniscalco, the average client sees an ROI of over 10X in increased pro ts.

As former wireless dealers, ReBiz designs its services with deep industry experience in mind. The development process includes continuous client feedback and rigorous testing. These services integrate seamlessly with existing systems, providing data that enhances decision-making Tony Maniscalco emphasized that ReBiz focuses on a ordability without compromising quality, ensuring that even smaller wireless retailers have access to top-tier analytics.

Every retailer wants to better understand their true sales opportunities and how well their teams are performing each day. ReBiz identi ed a market gap for user-friendly tools that o er detailed insights into both sales’ performance and operational e ciency. Haller noted that if a retailer has a point-of-sale system, surveillance cameras, and a tra c counter, they are ready for ReBiz. If not, ReBiz is ready to help them get there.

ReBiz is deeply committed to integrity, transparency, and excellence. Tony Maniscalco explained that the company adheres to strict data privacy standards and continually invests in improving technology to ensure reliable and accurate reporting. The ReBiz philosophy is to empower wireless retailers with the tools needed to make informed decisions, leading to sustainable growth and success.

Consumers directly bene t from ReBiz services through improved shopping experiences in better-sta ed and well-managed stores. ReBiz analytics help wireless retailers understand peak times, optimize sta schedules, and enhance customer service—factors that directly translate to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty, according to Haller.

Haller outlined a straightforward formula: use clean ReBiz data to sta correctly and coach individuals for better performance. In the most recent set of rst-year ReBiz Graduate stores, conversions improved, and gross pro ts increased by over 50% on average. Beyond providing key data points, ReBiz also o ers services like ReBiz Outreach, which drives tra c via SMS and call campaigns.

Tony Maniscalco shared that ReBiz calculates the ROI of their entire client base every quarter, including stores that have joined within the year. Last quarter, the overall ROI was 13X, with top-improving stores seeing over $10,000 in additional gross pro t per store. He encouraged readers to check out the client testimonial videos on rebiz.com to hear directly from customers about their speci c ROI numbers.

ReBiz leverages in-store cameras and existing equipment to monitor stores through a patented process. Tony Maniscalco explained that by using a combination of software, proprietary processes, and nal veri cation via human audits, ReBiz provides the industry's highest quality data. Clients are often amazed by what the clean data reveals, often realizing that they suspected their old data was inaccurate all along.

Tony Maniscalco Director of Sales

ReBiz services o er unique features like rep-level sales conversion reporting, customer interaction times, and unattended customer tracking. Haller highlighted innovations like the Scheduling Advisor and the Insights Mobile App, which provide quick insights to optimize store operations.

"ReBiz is the go-to company for sales and operations solutions for retailers," Tony Maniscalco concluded. "As we evolve, we'll continue to expand the number and types of questions that retailers want to answer. Deploy ReBiz today, and you'll bene t from years of innovation focused on driving wireless pro tability."

A Legacy of Leadership in the Wireless Industry

At Wireless Dealer Magazine, our journey began in 1994 with the launch of Independent Agent Network, a pioneering membership organization committed to supporting long-distance agents. We didn’t just dip our toes in the industry; we made waves with our rst major initiative, the TOP 25 AGENT PROGRAMS—a comprehensive resource that included 25 telecom agent contracts, rates, and commissions. Previously, this essential information was custom-created by each telecom company for every agent. Thanks to IAN, for the rst time ever, agents all received the same standardized contract, eliminating the practice of paying agents di erent commissions.

As the telecom industry evolved, so did we. By 1996, recognizing the growing demand for faster, more e cient communication, we introduced a fax blasting program, enabling resellers to instantly connect with agents nationwide. This was an early precursor to the digital advertising strategies that now de ne our industry. With the decline of long-distance services and the rise of wireless technology, we rebranded as Wireless Dealer Network to re ect this monumental shift.

In 2002, we encountered a new challenge: some independent wireless retailers were not yet regularly using email communications. Instead of waiting for the industry to catch up, we decided to bridge the gap ourselves. We launched Wireless Dealer Magazine and published our rst print edition, marking a new era in our commitment to the wireless sector.

But we didn’t stop there. In 2008, Wireless Dealer Magazine took a signi cant leap forward by partnering with CTIA Wireless to co-locate two groundbreaking expos: the Wireless Dealer Expo and the Wireless Repair Expo. These events ran consecutively for nine years, solidifying our role as the central hub for industry professionals. Today, we proudly support the All Wireless & Prepaid Expo (AWPE) as a media partner and sponsor of The Wireless Repair Show.

The Next Big Things are finally here. and they brought Built-In Wireless Charging and a selection of Premium Cases & Covers with them.

Wholesale Market Factory Pricing

Authored By: Wireless Dealer Magazine

In an interview with Wireless Dealer Magazine, Aslam Ajani, the accomplished Founder and CEO of Wholesale Market, shared valuable insights into his impressive journey within the wireless industry. Beginning his career in retail, Aslam transitioned into wireless merchandising in 2003 by taking over a cellphone accessories business, which he has since skillfully developed into the renowned Winner Wireless. This marked the start of a remarkable two-decade-long career in the wireless sector.

One of Aslam's most signi cant achievements is building a successful cellphone accessories distribution company that has thrived for over 20 years—a testament to his leadership and foresight. When asked about the key to his enduring success, Aslam explained that he stays motivated by keenly observing trends in the wireless marketplace, forecasting where those trends might lead, and being present to witness how quickly innovative ideas come to life. His ability to remain attuned to the ever-evolving world around him has been a cornerstone of his continued success.

Aslam candidly discussed the signi cant challenges he faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in strategizing how best to support both employees and customers amidst inventory shortages and retail disruptions. This experience ultimately became a driving force that propelled Aslam into the next chapter of his wireless business.

Under Aslam's visionary leadership, the idea for his next venture, Wholesale Market, took shape. What is Wholesale Market, you ask? It is a platform where retailers can get factory prices without dealing with factories, agents, or middlemen. Aslam, who has a U.S.-based company and warehouse, opened an international o ce to support making his venture a reality—cutting out all the middleman costs passed down to retailers and ensuring factory-direct prices from a U.S.-based company. All items are in stock and retailers don’t have to wait weeks to get factory direct pricing. This groundbreaking marketplace platform, where retailers can access in-demand products at competitive prices, is the rst of its kind o ered to the retail industry.

Recognizing an opportunity to simplify the purchasing process for wireless accessories, Aslam integrated international products into his Wholesale Market platform, speci cally targeting U.S. retailers and dealers. This innovative approach ensures secure transactions and reliable delivery.

It's no secret that Amazon has replaced a signi cant source of accessory purchases once bought mainly in wireless stores. Now, with Wholesale Market, your store can level the playing eld again by being able to purchase wireless accessories individually at bulk wholesaler pricing—safely and securely.

The new website platform, wholesalemarket.com, o ers a variety of popular and niche cellphone accessories, including cases, chargers, cables, phone holders, and sports-licensed products like NFL, NCAA, and MLB cases. Aslam pointed out that both recommended retail and wholesale pricing for their products can be referenced by comparing similar items found on manufacturer websites or other channels, which often sell at higher rates.

Wholesale Market's primary audience includes distributors, mall retailers, phone repair shops, and carrier stores. Aslam has also established strong relationships with Cricket Wireless dealers, working closely on a one-to-one basis.

To maintain its competitive edge, Wholesale Market plans to reintroduce fashionable cases and will soon launch new lines of sports-licensed cases, as well as a variety of IPH16 series cases.
