ABOUT
US.
Oliver Marketing was founded in 1986 by Bob Oliver with a mission to help manufacturers connect with the right retailers — and help retailers discover quality products. With over three decades of experience, we’ve built trusted partnerships across custom integration, 12-volt lines, and major warehouse retailers.
What began with helping dealers source the right inventory evolved into a specialized service helping vendors succeed at Costco, both in-store and online.
Today, Oliver Marketing represents national and emerging brands in navigating the Costco ecosystem. Our team brings years of combined experience across sales, logistics, product development, and packaging.
We specialize in helping vendors navigate the unique ecosystem of Costco. Whether you're launching a product online, setting up roadshows, or preparing for inline placement, our team brings decades of experience, long-standing buyer relationships, and operational expertise to ensure success.
