Retail Outlets Enjoy Savings and Efficiencies From Program HOUSTON,
Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Shell Oil Products US today announced that
the STARZ Buying Club is celebrating its one-year anniversary. The
STARZ Buying Club is a complete convenience merchandising and
marketing program designed to create value-added, cost saving
programs for Shell branded retailers and wholesalers. Royal Buying
Group manages the STARZ Buying Club and is responsible for
developing vendor marketing programs, administering rebates and
directing vendor promotions. According to James Rudolph a
Shell-branded operator with Rudolph Management, the STARZ buying
club provides his business with value on a daily basis. "We have a
chain of 19 convenience stores that are well serviced by a STARZ
Buying Club representative who is detail-oriented and always on the
lookout for ways to maximize my savings. I've labeled him our
'Savings Cop.'" The STARZ Buying Club is one of the components
available through the Shell Trading and Retail Zone, a proprietary
web-portal that provides Shell-branded retailers and wholesalers
with site operations and convenience retailing tools and
information. The site acts as a one-stop resource or virtual office
headquarters, and the STARZ Buying Club is offered as a tool to
help individual business people enjoy savings and buying power
typically available to large buying networks through specially
designed merchandising programs and promotional offers. "STARZ
Buying Club members are receiving programs and rebate opportunities
that aren't available to other convenience store operators. The
volatility of the convenience store industry combined with the
stores' need to increase margins has resulted in a strong demand
for our services," said Michael Zielinski, president and chief
executive officer of Royal Buying Group, Inc. "Our ability to
communicate directly with Shell retailers and wholesalers makes it
easy and efficient for our vendor partners to reach a valuable
audience." The STARZ Buying Club will be offering valuable
introductory programs for 2005 and retailers that join by the end
of the year will receive guaranteed participation in all 2005
programs and contracts. To date, almost 1500 retail locations have
