Self Defense Supplies COMPANY SPOTLIGHT


IN TODAY’S world, dangers and disasters may be right around the corner, despite the best possible preparations and precautions. Simply stated, personal awareness and preparation is the best defense in combating the unkown. “Take for instance the recent economic hardship we’ve faced. People are now looking to protect more of their personal assets in this time of loss,” says Dana Ellington, presi- dent of Self Defense Supply. “There is also a substantial need for sur- vival products, as many people have had to face the devastation of natural disasters this past year. All in all, people are searching for items that will help protect ‘Me and My Own’.” It is Self Defense Supply’s acute sensitivity to the general population’s needs that has led the company to the fore- front of an industry that is growing daily and turning profi ts. Ellington is a passionate man


with extensive knowledge of self defense weaponry and supplies. His experience has been acquired over nearly 15 years as a manu- facturer and wholesaler, and he is still primarily a businessman with roots as a retailer, looking to increase business for his whole- sale buyers. “Our goal is to bring retailers the best, most desirable merchandise at the best prices to help them succeed. We want their businesses to grow and make money,” says Ellington. Part of the plan for success is providing a one stop shop for retailers looking for a mix and match of products, or per- haps only a couple of items. “If you wanted to start an account with


Kershaw, United, Gerber, Smith and Wesson, and all of our many other brand name items, you would have to apply to all of them, meet their high initial order requirements, and jump through all other kinds of hoops. Even if you needed only a few items, you would have to meet their high reor- der requirements. Plus you’d have shipping to pay on all those ship- ments, and all that tracking to keep up with,” notes Ellington. Which is why he thinks it makes much more sense to pick up the phone and place one order for all your merchandising needs. With a limited start in knives,


stun guns and pepper spray, Self Defense Supply ambitiously grew its product lines to include items such as tasers, surveillance sys- tems and even 30 year shelf life food products. “We are a regional distributor for Mountain House Food. Our 20 year partnership has lead us to be a primary distribu- tor for them, as other distributors and dealers are being shut down. These products are ideal for those consumers who have increased concerns about survival and pre- paredness,” adds Ellington. Other highlighted product lines are Self Defense Supply’s manufactured line of blowguns and pepper spray. Simply, “You’ll get products avail- able nowhere else! Self Defense Supply owns Avenger Blowguns and is the largest manufacturer of blowguns in the world, so we know how to do it right. That’s why our blowguns carry a life- time guarantee,” says Ellington. “Crime Halter Pepper Spray, plus

Stunzilla, Panther, and Black Co- bra Stun Guns make their home here as well.” The market is driven by new


and unique products, and cus- tomers are on the prowl for new products with a purpose. Self Defense Supply is aggressive in learning about trends, updating products, and all there is to know about self defense supplies, as well as the best ways to market them successfully in a retail store. “We actually spend a lot of time, effort and manpower to fi nd the best products to turn profi ts. We also give retailers marketing signs, sales tips and more, designed to help sell more.” Retailers interested in working with Self Defense Supply are required to fi ll out an appli- cation and create a login to view wholesale prices on the company’s website. “We do not offer up our wholesale prices without this login, as we are not selling to the general public. But we do offer some prod- ucts as low as $2 to $5 wholesale,” explains Ellington. “And retailers can always expect to make key- stone and quite often triple their purchasing price.” Other benefi ts for retailers include volume pricing, piece quantity discounts, and both single and case pricing. ■
