Basically i have a pat pending product and i want to launch it in around 100 vape shops in my state. I want to take this product to market and either watch it rapidly fail or succeed ASAP. I think the best way to do this to land it on as many stores shelves as possible and see what happens. I plan to front all of the product so there is no upfront cost for these shops.
What is the best way to get my product on their shelves ASAP? I already have a display, product, investors etc. I just need the best way to reach out to these shops.
Thanks in advance.
I have some friends in this space who did a similar approach on a seltzer product, shoot me a dm if you’d like me to get you in contact they’ll definitely have some better advice than I will
Make a folder with all the pricing info, photos of displays and all your website info. Drive to each of these shops and drop off the folder with 5-10 samples free for them to sell. Tell them if they do good reach out to you on your site to order.
Wait and if no response follow up in person.
You can start with 5-10 shops, get feedback and adjust the strategy.
