New Product Assessment Information




Health 2000 is always looking for and welcoming new innovative suppliers and products to their stores.

Before you contact us please consider the following:
  • Are your products natural with no synthetic additives?
  • Are your products new and innovative?
  • Do your products have a point of difference to the ranges we already carry?
  • Your products MUST NOT contain ingredients that, if sold by Health 2000, would be in breach of the Medicines Act 1981.
  • Your products MUST NOT contain ingredients that, if sold by Health 2000, would be in breach of the Dietary Supplements Regulations 1985.

THE PROCESS

In order for us to consider selling your products in our stores, you will need to comply with the process below. Product selection is at the discretion of the Health 2000 Product Advisory Group (PAG).

Currently there are two types of supplier. If your product(s) are approved you will be advised if you have been accepted as a 'Non-Preferred Supplier' or a 'Preferred Supplier'.

Non-preferred Supplier (White List ) - Your products have been deemed suitable for sale in our stores. This allows you to approach our stores regarding the stocking of your products, but the stores are under no obligation to stock your product(s). The stores are not able to promote your products nor will you be able to use our logo on any of your advertising or literature. If your products are taken up by 90% of the stores and sales reach a reasonable value, you will be considered for 'Preferred Supplier status'.

Preferred Supplier status - In return for agreed set fees, your products will get promotional opportunities within the stores, which could include point of sale, advertising and inclusion in our magazine. You will also be expected to attend our yearly conference where you will have the opportunity to meet all our store members over the course of 3-4 days. If your products are chosen for Preferred Supplier status, an appointment will be arranged to meet with our Managing Director to discuss Preferred Supplier terms.

CHARGES

Due to costs involved in the process of assessing new suppliers and products, there is a non-refundable administration charge of $275 plus GST. This must be paid before the assessment process will start. Payment can be made by cheque or direct debit; Bank Account details are 01  0315  0041982  002 - Use your company name as reference. 

HOW TO APPLY
  1. Complete and submit the 'New Product Information' form. Depending on the number of products you are submitting for consideration, you can either fill one form per product or if a range (10 products or more), complete one form and supply ingredient listings for each of the products in the range.
  2. Supply samples of the products you would like assessed.

SAMPLES

When submitting your product samples, please include:

  • Payment for $275 plus GST (non-refundable).
  • A business card.
  • 7 samples of each product or, if a range, a minimum of 14 mixed samples. (Please note samples will not be returned).
  • 7 copies of your price list – Wholesale and RRP.
  • 7 samples of any marketing support material you produce for your product(s).

All the above should be sent to:

Health 2000+ Ltd, 
Ground Floor,
408 Anglesea Street,
Hamilton

Attention: New Product Assessments.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Once your payment, information form(s) and sample(s) are received they are distributed to the Product Advisory Group (PAG) members. The PAG members are store owners who assess the product(s) to determine suitability for inclusion for sale in our stores. Consideration will be given to the product ingredients, packaging, country of origin and manufacturing, whether we already have products of the same type within the stores, and whether the product(s) offer any points of difference.

The decision from the PAG will be communicated to you via email and will include a short summary of the comments made during the decision process. If your product is rejected the summary will include a brief explanation. Product selection is at the discretion of the Product Advisory Group (PAG) and once a decision has been made, no further discussion will be entered into.

If your product is approved you will be advised as to the status. If approved as a Preferred Supplier, you will be given an appointment to meet with the Managing Director to discuss terms of supply.

TERMINOLOGY ON THE FORM

GMP – Good Manufacturing Practice. GMP certification is not essential but is looked upon favourably.
TAPS – Therapeutic Advertising Pre-vetting System. All literature supplied to our stores must have gone through the TAPS process.
