how to sell a product to a supermarket?

A new idea or an actual product?\n\nIf you have an actual product, locate a wholesale food distributor (supermarket) or the corporate offices for other than a food item, call them and ask to speak to the appropriate department buyer and persuade them to take a look at it. It's a tough burn getting a hold of a buyer in a large company.\n\nIf you just have an idea, maybe you shouldn't contact them yet. Even with legitimate products, many times buyers will "steal" the product and have an associate produce it thus throwing you to the curb.\n\nGood luck\n\nMike\n\n=========================

if you sell a snack once, no matter how many you sell - once, you will never sell enough.. \ni think a major issue is to realise it is a repeat market type of business. \nIf your product is not liked, give it up.\n\nBest way to start to see first of all whether it is liked it to do alot of personal work with giving away taste testing, possibly in a mall / supermarket or on the street corner. If people don;t like it, forget it, its over.. if they do, then begin with a shop (or outside it with the shop owners permission as a marketing ploy) give away taste testers, tiny little bites of it, with some colour flyers with a description of how good it is taste and let them know if they really want some, to go in the shop and buy one, or a packet...\nand then just do the same thing, area by area and you will build a region...

Unless the retailer is in a farmer's market, barterring is generally not an option.  You just emphatically tell them "we don't barter...it's priced as marked."  They have to take it or leave it....and if they try to make a stink and can't take no for an answer and become a nuissance, you can always call security or the police.\nJust make sure you're respectful with them the whole time and don't let them get you to react, no matter how much it hurts.\nBut they're in no position to try and barter in most establishments.

Depends on what your selling, e-bay is a great way to sell certain items if you want to try it go to e-bay.com. Swamp meets, flea markets, state fairs, trade shows, and special events around your area can provide leads also. Chamber of Commerce can help they often have a list of companies that belong to the Chamber. Put a ad in the classified of your local newspaper.\nBuild a web sight and advertise it, radio is another way some radio stations have shows that sell/trade and buy things.\nMy wife and I have printed up flyers and posted them at local stores, luandry mats, and other places on poster boards with owners permission.

Hey if you want to market your automative battery,in rural india.. you first need to take up these challenges,\n \n* Since people may be illiterate, u most take up a village trip and paste pamphlets in their local language about your prodcut name and its usage and price...\n\n* attract people by low prices and usage for their daily routine life\n\n* be careful if your product sell immediately as u expect, after all people are poor out there.. give them some time to understand ur product and its use..

Advertise.  Post you picture everywhere, run ads in the paper, pennysaver, harmon homes.  Hand out business cards, leave business cards at delis, pizza places, gyms, laundry mats, everywhere and anywhere.  There is soo so much competition out there, you have to have your name recognized.   Start farming a certain area.  Pick a neighborhood and consistently send out flyers showing recent sales on the street, and suggest they call you for a free market analysis. you can buy promotional items to mail such as little magnetic calanders to mail out, then your face is on their fridge the for entire year.

I think ebay is a pretty easy way to start.  After you get the hang of selling through eBay, you can sell your items through Prostores.

http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/marketing/\n\nSet up your own store or search in Yahoo! Shopping for the items you want to sell.  You find merchants that sell these items, and you can in turn, sell to them.

advertise it locally, publish flyers and post them around town. advertise in the local paper and also outside your shop...who knows, one of your own customers may be interested in buying it!!

open and e-bay store.  go to stores that are not chains-- like little specialty shops (especially if you live in a tourist area!)  and offer them 15% of what they sell them for.   agree on a price and see if that works out.

You'd really have to be more specific for any of us to help you.  Like, what kind of products; are they illegal to be sold online; are you the company, needing advice?\n\nPlease fill us in (as much as you can without any trouble).  :)
