Hi,
I have a product idea that I believe would sell very well in a newsagents type shop. I have everything in place to get the product developed and could have them ready to go within a week. I have done some basic research but I am not hugely familiar with how I would go about selling this product.
My question is, how does one go about selling to a newsagents? I work in finance so although I have a grounding in business I have no experience of selling this type of product. Ideally I would first like to approach someone with multiple shops or even better one with a presence throughout the country. I understand that the vast majority of newsagents in Ireland are privately owned but can one sell a product to the franchise? For example, is it possible to sell a product to the suppliers to Spar or Centra - or is it a case, as I suspect, that one can only sell to them on an individual basis? Does anyone know how to go about approaching maybe Easons?
I feel it might be more beneficial to approach someone with a large presence before I sell the product to smaller retailers as I would be willing provide the product to them solely if the order was big enough.
If anyone is an owner of a Newsagents or has any experience in selling to one you might be able to help me out, but any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for taking your time to read this.
