JCPenney Vendor
JCPenney has over 860 stores, currently responsible for in 49 states in the United States and Puerto Rico. That is tremendous buying power. To put it into perspective, they have over 98,000 people who work for them on their stores. That’s a really, really big deal.
The reason I mentioned that is because a lot of times people don’t think about selling at a JCPenney and I want to put them back on your radar. I know that there was a time when people were thinking that they were going under and so forth, but they have a lot of opportunities there and they do a lot of good work and they’re still buying stuff and definitely a place to sell to.
What JCPenney Buys
The cool thing about JCPenney is that they actually tell you what they buy. They basically buy 22 of their products for women’s apparel, 21 is men’s apparel and accessories. So 40 of their products are men and women’s apparel. But it’s cool that they share that on their site and so forth. 15 of their products are home goods and so forth. They sell Children’s Apparel, Family Footwear, Handbags, Fine Jewelry, and they sell other types of products.
So something to think about is that if you have any sort of interesting product for women’s apparel, men’s apparel, accessories and so forth, they do buy that. They have a very nice children’s department and also Home Goods a significant amount of their business as well. And they do sell other types of products too, but that’s their Core Business.
Things to Note About Selling into JcPenney Stores and Become a JcPenney Vendor
They recently did a deal with Sephora, so Sephora is now inside JCPenney which can be very cool for you in your business because if you have a beauty product or whatever, they definitely have a cosmetic section and Sephora is a very hot topic currently and so that can just expand your business.
The one thing that I would tell you about JCPenney if you’re thinking about going after them, if you are a woman or minority-owned company, definitely get certified. If you’re a women-owned business, go to wewbenc.org. If you’re a minority-owned company, you can just do a Google search for minority-owned business certification.
Really what that means is that once you get certified, you can submit your information as a woman or minority owned company and companies like JCPenney have a strong diverse supplier and diverse clientele and so they’re always looking for you. So that kind of puts you on top of Mark with JCPenney. They love the diverse supplier because their customers are very diverse and so forth.
