- In this video I explain the journey I took to get my small business products onto the shelves of local retail stores.
I run a small business selling pet accessories including bandanas, harnesses, leads and collars. If you have a small business and are interested in how to get your products into shops then hopefully this video will be insightful. I learnt a few things during this process and I hope that by sharing my journey of getting my small business products into retail shops that you can be better prepared when you go for it with your products!
As always, any small business questions let me know in the comments and I'll be happy to let you know my thoughts.

I'm so glad I came across your channel, I can't wait to hear more about your wholesale business. Interestingly enough, this weekend I visited two small shops in my area to scope and gauge brand compatibility. One store is a retail business that exists solely to give local product-based businesses a place to sell their items! I'm reaching out today to pitch my cards. Congrats and much success to you!
Thanks Tori! How did your pitch go?

Hi Meg!!! Thankyou so so much for the info it helps so much!! So I was wondering how did you figure out the pricing?? And also I would definitely love if you could give an example of the email you sent haha cause I have no idea what to put in there
I could really help you, I been doing this for a long time and just passed across your video.
Great insightful information. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and time! Very well done :)
I have a quick question: Is there a standard product pitch template with what product info and company details a buyer wants to see about our product and company? I want to provide the proper information they want without overwhelming them with unnecessary information.
Thank you so much. You've been very helpful :)
Thanks for this video. How did you figure out your wholesale price? Did they agree right away or did you need to negotiate?

I wouldn’t say there is a standard template but there are a few useful things and a few necessary pieces of info to share with a potential supplier to make sure they are getting all the info they need without overwhelming them - I’m covering this in my next video so stay tuned 😀
so helpful,thankyouso much.can we see a tutorial of the email
Yes! Will get that filmed and uploaded soon 😀
Hi Meg I have a skincare company in UK, we based in London. I need to try list our products on shelfs in pharmacy's or bigger stores. Please let me know how to write these initial emails.many thanks
Upload more please!
Will be uploading more soon, thanks for watching 😀
Where can we see a example email 🙏
That’s great news! At what price point do you sell your stock to the stores so you still make a profit and the shop to obviously make a profit.
To make it attractive to the shops, my research indicated they would want to make 50% profit on the items. This meant significantly reducing my profit which is why I set a minimum order number of each item for wholesale. The bulk orders mean I can get a lump cash injection into my business and use it develop more products. It’s tricky because I didn’t want to loose out on most of my profit but my setting a Minimum order quantity I was able to make sure I still made a profit on the wholesale sales. Hope that helps and makes sense!
@@Megacrafty hey i was wonderig if you could futhor explain this ,wouldn't it be better to buy out whole sale and give them 20-30% of each product sold. at most 40%
hmmmmmmm
Do you get a lot of money if your product is in a shop can you make a living out of it
Hi, great realistic video.
What was the email you sent please?
Thank you so much for this video.. I've one question that how you did pricing and like they bought from you your stuff or like it was some sort of paper work also?i hope you understood my question 🤍
