Interesting, but why would the brands need you? If they're offering a few days/week free trial period, they can do this directly? Also, it's a bit of a complicated model (logistically). What is more common, is that some companies lease out products: you pay per day/week/month, and then, if you wa...
That's a great question. First, congratulations for bringing a nutritional product to market and getting initial sales. That's a huge feat in itself, so well done. Second, my question would be this - why do you believe that you need to get on the shelves of UK retailers to go mainstream? And wh...
ROAS or ROAS per customer makes a big difference, I normally look at the latter and compare to the total profit made. You can further analysis using ROAS per sq meter (floor area) and study the patterns of the customers and floor areas. Therefore using only a one-sided KPI not only not useful, ...
I'm a former retail buyer for Target and worked in the Home Pyramid/Division. In short, the easiest way to find buyers is to use Linked In. I have a short video on how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwbfUMRHiq0. And you can find corporate email formats at www.email-format.com. Ot...

Selling any product including "iPhone cases" on websites with high competition like Ebay is surely not an easy mission. There are hundreds of sellers on Ebay and other websites who are already selling cases. If you need to get some sales, you need at least one of the following: 1. High reputatio...
Hi! I'll start by saying that this is a tough one. I personally employ several sales reps, some 100% commish while others take te bigger of two: commissions for that period or a predetermined hourly rate (if they feel they won't do as good that week) With that said, these type of jobs tend to p...
Grass roots marketing is always best (and cheapest). If you are near schools, "partner" with the schools and offer incentives for the school - for example, 15% of sales this Tuesday will go to John Smith Elementary, just come in and tell us you are with JSE. Get the school's buy-in and they will ...
Connect with the CEO of 3 non-competing products that already sell to those stores and ask them for advice on the process, the people involved and things to consider. That's always the fastest way in my opinion.
I would offer them a proposal to reveal their source to you in exchange for a small percentage or fixed amount of each unit ordered. You would also need to structure the offer in such a way as to guaranty that you would not compete with them or circumvent them, if they agree then you would need ...
