Avadim Health

Avadim Health has a portfolio of clinically proven products with a successful track record in Acute Care, Long Term Care, Government and Sports Medicine channels. Their desire was to enter the Retail channel in order to reach and bring forward innovative solutions for unmet consumer needs. They were looking for strategic direction to expand their business in OTC and Pharmacy within the Food, Drug, Mass, and Club Classes of trade. Their initial position was to utilize a national sales rep agency, which assisted in capturing a few retailers, but they soon came to the conclusion that they needed to move quicker and develop a relationship with a team that becomes passionately involved with their culture and goals……Provide a “True Extension” to their sophisticated internal Team. As a result, Avadim was referred to The Swanson Group (TSG) to discuss a possible relationship to help build their Retail business. They subsequently named TSG as their exclusive National Retail Channels agency partner for Strategy and Sales Execution in August 2017.
