Long story short i came up with a new product and i would like to launch it in brick and mortar vape shops. Besides doing door to door sales, what is the best way to land my product on their shelves? I already have a display made up and a pretty good sales sheet, how can i effectively get this information to between 50-100 shops. I dont want to just have it in 5-10 shops, my start up cost is so low that i can afford to front enough product in around 100 stores, i think this will give me much better data.
Emails come to mind first, i have about 35 emails that i have collected through websites, i have sent out about 10 of them with no responses over the past week. These emails consisted of 2-3 paragraphs explaining the product/details and then a 2 page sales sheet with all the selling info, numbers etc. and a short video of the product. The emails were personalized so they dont seam spammy, Is it common to have these shops not even read emails? I am planning to send more with basically little to no words and just the sales sheet seeing if they would be interested in hosting this product.
The emails i sent state there is nothing to loose for the shop, no upfront costs, basically put this display on your shelf and collect %40 of sales, which i think would be relatively enticing for these shops.
I have tried phone calls but i always end up getting a hold of an associate who has no information to give me.
Before i send anymore id like to know if i am doing something wrong with sending the emails. Do i need to send out 100 emails to get 1 response? I am located in texas and would like to try the product launch in the 3 big cities, this is why door to door doesnt seam efficient to me.
Thanks in advance!
I’ve been in the industry for 10 years and sell to many shops and distributors. You can dm me and I might be able to point you in the right direction. Texas has a huge market and I’ll be there next week actually for meetings with customers.
