Profile Information
- About Me:
- Sandy Dell is an experience sales person running her own sales rep business and working in many different facets of the retail and on-line gift industry.
With the help of her husband, Malcolm, Sandy started her independent manufacturer sales representative company, Idaho Gifts Wholesale by Sandy, in 2001 -- selling wholesale gifts to over 300 retail outlets, mostly in Idaho, Washington and Montana.
In the fall of 2002, the Dell's started their own gourmet foods company featuring humorous labeled products: Idaho Redneck. Two years later they added a second, more elegant foil labeled line of Gold Mountain huckleberry products.
In 2004, a password-protected wholesale-only website was added to the business. Many different products and companies are featured along with several resources pages specifically for helping gift retailers with their businesses. Over the last several years, with the expansion of the Idaho Gifts Wholesale website, products can be seen in stores all over the country.
Due to the changing retail climate and the growth of the web as a marketing force, Sandy expanded her website by offering new ways for producers to offer retail outlets their fine Idaho products. She now contracts with producers to market their products on the Idaho Gifts Wholesale website, on their own independent websites, through various different social networks, and with other web tools.
As principal owner and field sales representative for Idaho Gifts Wholesale, Sandy is an experienced sales person, working previously at Roos Atkins, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hastings, World Book Encyclopedia, and Avon, where she won multiple awards. She also has a technical degree in Merchandising and three years of retail management experience.
With Sandy's many years of sales experience as a sales rep and as a retail manager, as well as her involvement with the gourmet food business, has given her a very unique perspective in the gift and gourmet food industry.
"I have been on both sides of the counter", she tells her buyers. More than that, she understands the needs of the producer and the gift buyer and knows how to communicate to both groups!

I am looking to c further market their products via wholesale and with a web presence. I sell homemade gourmet cookies. I have been exploring my options and the following came to mind: I want to sell my packaged cookie dough wholesale and willing to sell my cookies baked as well. I am not sure if you are able to help but I am new to the business part (not baking) and not sure where to start. I am located in NY and have lots of people who love my cookies and request them. Thanks for reading.
I am Sandy Dell, an independent manufacturers sales representative and also the co-owner of Gourmet Innovations LLC which makes two lines of products: Redneck humorous products and the elegant Gold Mountain line.
Would like to connect with producers looking to further market their products via wholesale or various web presence.
Best,
Sandy Dell
