How do you put your product in stores?

Question

If I manufactured my own product, how do I get it in stores or retail sale? Who do you talk to?

Answer 1

You would talk to the stores head buyer

Answer 2

Stores have buyers that travel around looking for product to fill the stores. If you have a product that fits a store's style, give them a call and ask to speak with the buyer.

Answer 3

You have to sell it to the store owner, so that he can mark up the price to resell it.  That way you can BOTH stay in business.

Retail store chains have central purchasing.  You have to talk with their corporate headquarters (where the purchasing people are) and convince them that they want to carry your product.
