449, RE: How to get product into Gift Shops Posted by Maran, Thu May-10-07 09:34 AM
Just go into some shops and start talking to people. Gift Shops tend to be run by regular, normal folks. And real conversation wins with regular, normal folks every time over some script.
a good way to break the ice might be to start talking with people who you don't care if your gizmo ever gets into their shop - so maybe some other kind of store.
I have managed a shop and if someone came in with a product I wanted to carry it didn't matter much that they didn't have sales skills, that they were sincere and genuine and helped me solve any problems I might have about having their gizmo in my shop counted a lot more.
Good luck Ray
