The objective of this project is to facilitate greater visibility into the independent retail market. You will find the sales templates here as well as a button to add a document. This is where you will provide your communication and sales reporting quarterly.
This portal will be used to easily keep track of progress as we move forward with the introduction of the product and company to the network.
Dear Michelle,
It was great to talk to you. We have reviewed the sales sheet you sent with the fixed images, and it is ready to go from our side. We have a few questions that we need to clarify:
– Would it be possible to change the email address to which sample requests are sent to? We believe having a dedicated email address (sales@ninawoof.com) would make tracking easier.
– What is the best practice when sending samples? Should we charge for the shipping? Should we charge for both the sample and the shipping? Or nothing at all?
– Do you have any guidance for margin expectations for these retailers?
Thank you for your support.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. I have changed the email for our sample request as you’ve requested and have tested the sell sheet with this new email as well. Please let me know if you do not see this sample request in the updated email inbox or spam folder. In regards to samples, we feel it’s best to reach out to each retailer to arrange the samples and discuss pricing and the sample arrangements during this time. We feel that samples are an important part of getting the product into stores and most retailers will not be expecting to pay for them. We understand not every retailer will be a perfect fit and suggest only sending samples using your discretion.
The typical breakdown of margins are: If a products costs $1 to produce, that product will retail for $4. That product that retails for $4 will wholesale for $2 to distributors and stores that purchase direct. Big box retailers like Real Canadian Superstore may offer to pay $1.25 to the manufacturer if the product costs $1 to produce. That is the typical profit margin.
Test
Hello Pedro,
Thank you for reaching out with this test. It has been received.
Hi Michelle, can you let me know when the email blast goes out? We want to be ready!
Hello Pedro,
Thank you for reaching out. Our E-blast will be sending out today, 1/24/23 and you will start to receive sample requests directly to your email and the warm leads posted here within the week.
Please continue to monitor this page for these results and other communications and updates from our team.
Thank you! We will be on the lookout for the requests.
We hope you are having a good day so far. These are some of the people that have shown interest by clicking to receive a sample of the line through the eblast, however they did not enter their information in the lead form once they landed on the sell sheet. I am able to pull the emails associated with the accounts from my end. Please keep detailed communication notes while you are reaching out as they may not all be a good fit for your product line. As we discussed on our Product Education Call, we are going to need reporting from your end, which you can upload directly to your dashboard. Please note that the contacts were contacted through the retail association and are not familiar with our company Mr. Checkout.
