Excellence Marketing is an independent Manufacturer's Representative firm based in Eden Prairie, MN (a suburb of the Twin Cities) dedicated to marketing professional audio and video related equipment and professional sound products to qualified authorized resellers in the Upper Midwest and Arizona for the purpose of resale and/or installation and integration. Excellence Marketing is a registered trade name in the States of Minnesota and Arizona.

Our contracts restrict us to an industry-standard territory which includes all of Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and thirteen counties in Western Wisconsin (for our Upper Midwest office) and the State of Arizona (for our Southwest Division).


The company was founded as a sole proprietorship on September 1, 1988 and was incorporated in the State of Minnesota as Excellence Marketing, Inc., on March 18, 1991. Excellence Marketing is a registered trade name in the States of Minnesota and Arizona.

Excellence Marketing is a member in good standing of InfoComm International (the Audiovisual Association), NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants), NSCA (National Systems Contractors Association), and ERA (Electronic Representatives Association).


As a Manufacturer's Representative, Excellence Marketing operates as the exclusive sales agent for roughly fifteen manufacturers of professional sound, video and musical equipment who market products that typically do not compete with each other, but are sold through similar channels to similar types of end users. Manufacturer's Representatives do not take title to goods sold. As such, we do not maintain any inventory at our location.

When a manufacturer uses an independent rep to market their products, they agree to ship and bill the equipment directly to authorized dealers, and the rep is paid commissions on all orders shipped into the territory (regardless of whether or not the rep is directly involved with the order). By contractual agreement, Excellence Marketing is paid on a commission basis to sell product to Musical Instrument Retail Stores, Sound Contractors, Professional Audio/Video Systems Integrators and Electronics Distributors for resale to musicians and purchasers of installed sound & communications systems (such as churches, clubs, concert halls, businesses, etc). Our contracts restrict us to industry-standard territories which include all of Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and thirteen counties in Western Wisconsin (for our Upper Midwest office) and Arizona (for our Southwest office).
