Strategic Benefits for IBA Buying Group and Members
Why this partnership transforms IBA’s market position and delivers substantial benefits
to both the organisation and member electrical wholesalers and suppliers
🏆 IBA Becomes the Leading Technology-Forward Buying Group
No other electrical wholesale buying group, including ANEW, AWEBB, or Fegime UK, can offer equivalent technology advantages to its members. This creates a unique market differentiator for IBA membership recruitment and retention.
💷 Massive Member Value Enhancement
IBA members save £8,000-£15,000 annually on customer acquisition technology, often exceeding their total annual IBA membership investment. This substantially increases the return on investment for IBA membership.
🎯 Geographic Territory Protection
Exclusive access limited to one IBA member per town/city creates protected competitive advantages within each geographic territory, preventing internal competition between IBA members.
📈 Measurable Revenue Growth for Members
Independent electrical wholesalers typically see £100,000-£500,000+ additional annual revenue growth, significantly strengthening their business performance and loyalty to IBA membership.
🤝 New Revenue Stream for IBA
IBA receives 2% ongoing commission on all member technology subscriptions, creating a new revenue stream worth £20,000+ over the three-year partnership period.
🛡️ Sustainable Competitive Advantage
The three-year exclusive partnership agreement creates an unbreakable competitive moat that other buying groups cannot replicate or compete against.
