Higher Profit Margins

Freedom is the largest outdoor buying group in the UK with over 80 members. Combine this buying power with STAG and you create a group with over 450 members. Our buying power gives you access to much better discounts from leading brands than you could negotiate for yourself as soon as you become a member.

Famous Brand Suppliers

Accounts with major brands, let alone trade discounts, are hard to come by in isolation. When you are a member of Freedom you benefit from the relationships we have built with major brand names including Burton McCall, Gelert, Hi-Tec, Jack Wolfskin, Brigdedale, Merrell, Timberland, Columbia and Target Dry to name just a few. You immediately access greater discounts than are normally only available to large chains.

Accounts Support

As a member of the Freedom Buying Group, your invoices from approved suppliers are sent directly to the STAG central payments system for payment, on time. You get one invoice from us, saving you time and money on accounts processing. And it works just as well for suppliers allowing us to negotiate better bulk buying discounts on your behalf.

Buying Show in the UK – free!

Held twice a year, our Buying Show is held once a year in November with brands offering you substantial discounts off immediate and future orders. More than 200 STAG retailers attend the show giving you the best opportunity to network and share ideas to guarantee success. And the whole event is on us – your overnight accommodation (for up to 2 people, with one room for one night) is courtesy of the Freedom Buying Group.

Monthly Special Offers

Monthly offers are sent to you each month by way of our direct mail programme. These may include core product discounts, the best of brands promotional offers or great clearance deals – every offer designed to give you the competitive edge.

Additional Discounted Benefits

As a member of Freedom Buying Group you benefit from a number of additional services specially negotiated by us at Head Office. For example, how much of your business is conducted on debit or credit cards? We have a credit card rate that is hard to beat. We can also offer Parcelforce rates, Fuel cards to gain savings on pump prices, cost reduction on your utilities, phone lines, shop insurance, website development and EPOS systems. All rates and deals that are virtually guaranteed to increase your profit.
