Hello again forum,
I starting to like this forum a lot, the people are very helpful, it's much better than Young Entrepreneurs, it's simply dead in there!
If you have seen my last post I emailed a couple local companies that sell smartphone accessories (wireless stores) asking them for a meeting so I can get some advice and feedback on my product. I have two that are willing to meet, but now I need to know how to act, dress, what to say, what not to say etc. I am horrible with social situations, it's frustrating but I am trying to overcome that limitation...
Here's what I'd like to know... These are main ideas with several splinter questions that I won't go into
Firstly, is my product something people/stores would buy in worthwhile numbers. For this I plan on bringing in a 3D printed prototype, unfortunately 3D printing isn't as good as normal manufacturing, so the prototype is a bit worst than the final product. Would that be a problem?
Second, what do manufacturers do/say they'll do to market their products in retail stores.
Third, how do manufacturers and retailers connect/how do they find products to sell in their stores do they get submissions, buy from distributors, attend trade shows etc.. I also want to know their distributors is that too much to ask???
Forth, what kind of agreements are common for products like mine, what are the percentages, what are the terms, types of packages, return policies etc.
I don't have any suits but I was planning on going in with a button up shirt and either slacks or nice dark jeans. Is that ok?
