Local firearm retailers see online sales increase year-over-year on Guns.com, outperforming the national 10% dip in same store sales reported by RetailBI. To help offset the slowdown of in-store sales nationwide, Guns.com is guiding dealer partners to maximize sales and revenue, especially in the popular pre-owned firearm market.

"Our priority is to help our dealer partners excel as we deliver a world-class online shopping experience for millions of gun owners," said Jeff Tesch, Director of Business Development at Guns.com. "We’ve lowered our dealer fees on pre-owned firearms up to 40%, which increases our partner’s revenue. Plus, our local brick-and-mortar dealers are at ease knowing they are not competing against big box stores, private FFLs, or non-storefront FFLs on Guns.com."

More gun owners are choosing a better online shopping experience, resulting in a 7% average increase in dealer sales in the first two months of the second quarter. The growth is especially evident in the pre-owned firearm category, where their dealer network is experiencing a 12% year-over-year sales increase. Guns.com is a game-changer for businesses, connecting a network of 2,000 brick-and-mortar retail businesses with a nationwide audience. More and more dealers are turning to Guns.com as a trusted gateway to sell more new and pre-owned firearms.

"Guns.com allows us to move inventory quicker, which keeps our shelves up to date," says Judi Anderson of Guns Galore in Osakis, MN. "I am now selling firearms all over the country, and Guns.com integrates with my system, so inventory is automated and easy. They handle all the paperwork and transactions, so all I have to do is package and ship the firearm to the FFL designated. It's truly that easy!"

Guns.com's low-cost, user-friendly platform makes inventory management, order processing, and customer service simple for local firearm dealers and pawnbrokers nationwide.
