Fort Lauderdale, FL, June 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Singing Machine Company, Inc.

“We are very pleased to launch our relationship with Vendo,” commented Gary Atkinson, CEO of Singing Machine. “Vendo is a well-respected firm in the e-commerce space. We believe that they are world class experts in leveraging Amazon, Walmart and Target in particular, and this overlaps extremely well with our largest retail partnerships today. With Vendo’s assistance, we believe we can expand our retail sales through Amazon to ultimately equal or even exceed our Walmart and Target sales levels.”

“We are aggressively gearing up all facets of our business for the coming holiday retail season. We are in constant contact with our top big box retail partners, most notable Walmart, Target, Costco, and Sam’s Club. Overall, we are very pleased with our sales order commitments to date this year. Our holiday sales pipeline remains strong.”

Vendo has the specific expertise to maximize our visibility to the end consumer, position our products to enhance the impression we make at the point of sale, and improve our overall sales conversion success rates using the Amazon platform. This is high-margin, low-risk opportunity for our Company that could help grow our sales on Amazon to become one of our largest retail relationships,” concluded Mr. Atkinson.
