You do'nt always need a sale sheet or leaving samples. You give samples, you will end up chasing then asking if the had tried it or sampled it then it becomes LONG !! . Carry your stock and products with you. You can agressivley sell /pitch your product to the owner there and then , by turning up with no appointment, inform him or her of your selling price plus RRP ( some may set their own RRP), supply them there and then and collect cash on the 1st order then you may have to invoice them but most will pay cash. I wouldnt give them 30days 40days etc, only Big stores with 4 -5 stores. At the end of the day you are likely to be chasing up invoices. small batches- higher margins, mass production - small margins but Bigger orders This is how i work in UK London
Turn around time is an important factor I'm glad you mention Damien - Unexpected delays or other projects that are scheduled to run before yours is scheduled to run being delayed can really put a kink in your restock. Also, there might be terms in your contract as far as a maximum timeframe to restock without penalty ($$$).
Thank you so much for taking the time and for such valuable information. You really have a wonderful way. This has helped me so very much! Much gratitude 😊
Thank you for making this video it has helped steer me in the right direction. I had a lot of reservations about getting into a grocery store and you confirmed them. I'm a small scale organic farmer and I can see that selling to a grocery store is very impersonal and a lot of hassle which is the opposite of what I want the farm to be. I didn't know about the 30 - 90 day terms. It seems like for a small farm like mine getting into a grocery store could hurt the business more than help it. much appreciated
The issue i have with selling online is that people would need to pay for delivery fees just to purchase spices- people dont usually buy spices from online stores- they usually buy them from supermarkets along with other groceries.
Just my two cents. For our regional store chains here in the Midwest, we have to register with Rangeme.com and build out the our profile to get approved and in the stores system.( their rangeme link is on their website but you are held exclusive to that chain for about 30 days be fore you can submit to another store) unless you bye a rangeme membership at $1300+ a year. we then had to get the product in to 20-25 of their location by talking to the store manager / director and fulfill all orders and in most cases you have to visit each store to check if they need more or they will not keep you in stock before they pull you into the warehouse for the entire chain. At this point they talk in skids vs. cases.
Hey, I just searched and found this video and have a question! We are opening an energy drink business and studying where we should start whether online and roll out in local grocery stores, and whether the former or the latter, what kind of marketing do you recommend starting with to get those beverages off the shelfs in store or sold online? Also, we are starting with about 5-8 thousand cases of 12 packs Thank you
I have a series of videos coming out about how to get specifically into grocery stores all over the US specific stores with specific instructions look forward to putting. That out for you.
Advice on start up social media presence and branding? Any advice on how to make it look cool (inexpensively) like those start ups who use the marketing firms to do that for them?
Yes find out what service you need and use Fiverr I have actually used fiverr over 30 times and they are great and on a budget they can help! marketingfoodonline.com/products/food-product-logo-under-20-00?_pos=4&_sid=2118c6bf0&_ss=r
How "crude" a sample can you present to the buyer and be taken seriously? can it be concept demonstrator (crude with a simple label) or does it need to be a pilot trial version, or a final commercial version?
I have a sunflower cooking oil company, I am importing very high quality one coming from overseas. I am already selling it to Korean Palaza and many small store, but I want to sell to other grocery stores like Save mart, smart and final, grocery outlet, Costco, Walmart and etc. please advise me. Thank you very much!
OK this is my last comment sorry haha - YES - always go in person and meet with the manager or owner! ALWAYS take free samples and a product/pricing list. THEN follow up 5-7 days later if you haven't heard back. Be professional and halfway persistent, but not overbearing and annoying. Make the manager or owner feel and see why your product is above the rest and unique (without lieing to them or bulls***ing them).
Thank you very much for valuable tips. I started a chicken sausage brand last year and my co-packer requires MOQ of 500lbs per SKU (got it down from 2000lbs per sku). I am planning on 2 SKUs, so 1,000lbs of sausages, total. Of course, they are perishable and temperature sensitive. I am currently sampling with the co-packer and I wanted to secure sale with the grocery market BEFORE products are in mass production. In this case, is it ok to bring the manager/owner of the grocery store a sample that's not yet ready for retail without UPC and all the labels? Once I bring the samples over, what will they do with it? They'll cook it and test? Your advice will mean a world to me. It's really inspiring to see someone who already got into retail. Thank you!
i can make 20,000 tamales with just my one worker group every two weeks (we make 700 a day already and we are just a small hole in the wall shop in Vegas)
Amazon is VERY VERY challenging to sell food there is a lot more to it than JUST listing products. With no ecommerce experience I would start on etsy and Ebay
I am in the process of building a metal garage to continue our popcorn business. We were a retail business for 10+ yrs before COVID. Now we want to build in our yard and sell to stores. If I have a dedicated kitchen can I sell to stores? I am in North Carolina. We are inspected by department of agriculture.
thanks for the note here is the link it is one of my older vids but useful info ! watch to the end for the samples ruclips.net/video/JOjpRypu-Co/видео.html
hard to say what is best because it is difficult to measure this. BUT fiverr actually have some great creative package designers and it is a good place to start
Ok thanks. I’m located in the Bay Area. looking to start a “ Meal prep “ style product. With four flavors at most. I don’t have a commercial kitchen and or suppliers for the base , which is ground turkey, thoughts , ideas?
So if they order 50 cases to many and it expires, I have to pay for that? What incentive do they have not to over order product and essentially destroy my business ? I could order 1000$ of dollars worth of product and just let it go bad knowing that the supplier will have to pay up? seems weird.
i own a restaurant and my parents have a literal world famous product. so much so that grocery stores have copied us. how do i get my products in there

Amazing. Are you open to a conversation? I am planning to start my own sauce business in the UK and would appreciate a little of your time.

Same...I've got some Ghanaian ready meal ideas & I'd love some guidance.
You mentioned e everything but permits and licenses. I had to get dealer permit to cater. And wholesale permit to sell to stores.

normally you need a retail ready shelf ready package.

Sorry but what about expiry date , and how to extend shelf life of homemade products …
Oxygen absorber or desiccant
So if they order 50 cases to many and it expires, I have to pay for that? What incentive do they have not to over order product and essentially destroy my business ? I could order 1000$ of dollars worth of product and just let it go bad knowing that the supplier will have to pay up? seems weird.
