MARK8 DISTRIBUTOR SUBSCRIPTION PROGRAM
Built from the successful U.S. program, PromoEQP, Mark8’s Distributor Subscription Program is the community where success is defined by prioritizing relationships.
Mark8 isn't built for everyone... and that is intentional.
We are not designed for new-to-market distributors inclined to sell by price. Nor do we support out-of-market, import-oriented suppliers seeking a backdoor to the market.
Established Regional Distributors... Reliable and trusted top-tier suppliers.
That is Mark8.
We believe suppliers deserve to be profitable.
Mark8 rejects rebates and participation fees because they distort incentives and weaken the supplier ecosystem. When suppliers are allowed to retain the full value of their work, they reinvest in their people, processes, and product development. That reinvestment ultimately benefits distributors. Removing these fees also ensures Mark8 is never positioned as an expense to suppliers, supporting long-term participation and a healthier, more stable network for everyone involved.
U.S. success of the foundational program:
PromoEQP’s is proudest that it has NOT lost a supplier in its 13 years of operation. Long-term engagement demonstrates the success of culture, growth of engagement, and evolving value of the program.
BEST PRACTICE: Each party should be free to do what they do best.
Distributors know their clients. They understand buyer needs, brand objectives, and how resources should be deployed. Suppliers know their products, capabilities, and production realities. When distributors and suppliers are allowed to connect directly, without third-party interference, each can operate at their highest value. Mark8 exists to support that connection, not to sit in the middle of it.
Mark8 takes no control over The Order. We place no hands in its creation, control over its placement, and seek no monetary gain from its completion. This means respecting the foundational partnership that has driven industry success over multiple generations.
