Is to be a trustworthy trading partner for both manufacturers and customers by developing a long-term strategic alliance and thereby sustaining a mutually profitable relationship for each of our customers and manufacturers.

Global Market Partners Inc.(GMP) is a company that markets flooring products in North America and world-wide. The flooring products marketed by GMP are done so under long-term exclusive  contracts with manufacturers. These long-term contracts insure continuity for GMP's customers and enables GMP to offer the service, training, and market support that are vital to the success of all parties. Therefore, each manufacturer views GMP as their marketing arm in the countries in which GMP markets their products. In turn, GMP's customer view GMP as a direct conduit to the manufacturer.  Thereby, insuring the customers of competitive pricing, marketing support, and long-term trading partner.
 

GMP is centrally located with a North American Distribution Center in Memphis, Tennessee (from which more air cargo is shipped than any city in the world, therefore Memphis markets itself as America's Distribution Center due to the access of air, rail, water, and highway transportation services). This enables us to provide quick, reliable service on all the products we market to distributors throughout North America.
GMP provides a service for manufacturer's outside of North America by providing centralized inventory, as well as providing service, training, marketing support, national advertising, and education on the products marketed. GMP coordinates the movement of full containers from manufacturer to our customer network. Plus, these same customers can have less-than-container quantities shipped out of GMP's warehouse or they can pick-up at GMP's facility in Memphis insuring they are seldom out of stock. This works very well for the customers because Tennessee has more wood flooring manufacturers than any state in the USA. Therefore, most customers are running trucks within a few miles of the North American Distribution Center each week and can easily pick-up a few pallets.


GMP is a member of both the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) and the World Floor Covering Association (WFCA) along with other industry association. These associations provide on going education and training for its members as well as promoting flooring products throughout North American.

GMP participates in several major Trade Shows each year; the Surfaces Trade Show sponsored by the World Floor Covering Association and the National Wood Flooring Association Trade Show. At each Show, GMP displays all products in a booth setting. This enables our distributors to use the booth to show products to their customers in a very professional manner. The booth is used to show our customers new products and provide a relaxing atmosphere to hold discussions on creating mutually profitable future business.



GMP goal is to provide the distributor and dealer a comprehensive marketing program to present to their customers. These marketing programs include professionally designed displays, sales aids, and product literature. All marketing tools are adapted to the North American Market with concise American Language and Measurements.

GMP is committed to adapting our products and marketing programs to individual distributors and dealers market. Customizing display programs, merchandising programs, and promotional programs to the needs of GMP's Trading Partners accomplishes this task.  In addition, a National Trade Advertising Program backs all products marketed by GMP.
