Skate Anytime Now Accepting Applications for Synthetic Ice Dropshipping Partners
Skate Anytime is expanding its partner network and is now accepting applications from qualified dropshipping partners, online retailers and specialty dealers interested in offering synthetic ice products to their customers.
The Skate Anytime Partner Program is designed to make selling synthetic ice easier. Approved partners can market Skate Anytime products through their own authorized sales channels while Skate Anytime handles product fulfillment and ships qualifying orders directly to the end customer.
That means partners can expand their product offering without the expense and complexity of purchasing, storing and shipping large synthetic ice inventories.
Why Add Synthetic Ice to Your Product Offering?
Synthetic ice creates opportunities across a wide range of residential, recreational and commercial markets.
Home hockey players use synthetic ice for skating, shooting, stickhandling and goalie training. Larger surfaces can create year-round skating opportunities for communities, training facilities and other commercial applications.
For retailers already serving hockey, recreation, backyard living, sporting goods or related markets, synthetic ice can complement an existing product portfolio while opening the door to a new category of customers.
Skate Anytime offers solutions ranging from compact home-training surfaces to larger custom synthetic ice projects.
Sell Synthetic Ice Without Stocking the Product
Synthetic ice can be challenging for traditional retailers because panels are large and heavy, requiring significant warehouse space and specialized shipping.
The Skate Anytime dropshipping model removes much of that burden.
Approved partners can generate the customer relationship and sale while Skate Anytime fulfills the qualifying order directly to the customer.
This allows partners to focus on what they do best — marketing, selling and serving their customers — without having to warehouse synthetic ice panels themselves.
What Skate Anytime Provides
Our goal is to create partnerships that are straightforward and scalable.
Depending on the approved relationship, Skate Anytime can provide partners with product information and specifications, approved product photography and marketing assets, sales support, order fulfillment, and direct-to-customer shipping.
Partners benefit from an established synthetic ice product line backed by Skate Anytime’s experience supplying residential, hockey-training and commercial skating applications.
Who Should Apply?
We are particularly interested in established businesses whose customers are a natural fit for synthetic ice.
Potential partners may include hockey and sporting-goods retailers, backyard recreation companies, ecommerce retailers, training-equipment suppliers, rink and recreation businesses, specialty sporting-goods dealers and other complementary businesses.
Each application is reviewed individually. Approval is not automatic, and authorized sales channels are established as part of the partner relationship.
This allows Skate Anytime to develop a partner network that supports both our customers and our participating dealers.
A Scalable Product for Your Customers
One of the advantages of Skate Anytime synthetic ice is its modular design.
Customers can begin with a smaller skating or hockey-training surface and expand their rink over time. Larger projects can also be configured for recreational, community and commercial applications.
For partners, this creates opportunities beyond a single standardized product. A customer may start with a home training rink today and expand that surface as their available space or training needs grow.
Backed by Skate Anytime
A successful dropshipping relationship requires more than simply shipping a box.
Skate Anytime supports customers with synthetic ice product knowledge, rink-planning experience and direct fulfillment capabilities. Our objective is to make the process straightforward for both the partner and the end customer.
Partners can introduce customers to Skate Anytime with the confidence that there is an experienced synthetic ice company behind the product and fulfillment process.
