40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, EXPERTISE, AND BUILDING LONG LASTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH COSTCO

How it started

Continental Marketing has called on Costco since just before they opened their First Warehouse club in Seattle in Sept 1983. Our dedicated Costco Team has a working relationship from the Executive VP of Merchandising all the way to the inventory control specialist. Continental Marketing currently services Major Appliances, Electronics, Housewares, Sporting Goods, Hardware, Pet and Furniture teams, as well as all International Divisions of Costco. The Continental team is recognized by Costco as a “Global Partner”. As a Global Partner you must be an expert in Direct Import Programs, Global Logistics and Testing. The team directly manages all accounts within Costco, Costco.com and Costco Global. In addition, we currently call on all 11 Costco regional offices where those offices are responsible for the regional buying decisions such as Food, Sundries and Pet Supplies. Experts
