You’ve been on the food market circuit for a while and perhaps even have a couple of local retailers stocking your products, but how do you grow your stockists and reach new retailers potentially hundreds of miles away? The time might be right for you to start talking to food and drink wholesale distributors.
Working with food and drink wholesale distributors can be an effective way to reach a wide network of retailers and can significantly aid your business growth. However, there are several things to bear in mind before you start.
If you have been selling to a few local retailers directly you will be used to quoting them a trade (or buy in price) to which they will add on their margin to create the consumer (sell out) price. Working with a wholesale distributor adds a new element to the equation and the wholesale distributor margin needs to be accounted for. You need to have a really good handle on your cost price so you can calculate all the necessary margins:
We’re passionate about great food, and we spend a lot of time sourcing it and selling it, so we try to enjoy what we do. So if you want to know what we’re about, we can summarise it in three words: Family, Food, Fun.
We measure this by being first choice for all our major stakeholders – customers, brand owners, people, and our community.
marketing strategy will help you reach your business objectives
We know that taking time out of running your business to come up with a solid marketing strategy is difficult. That’s why work with business owners to create a marketing plan for you. Having a strategy in place will help you avoid wasting time and money on marketing activity that doesn’t work. Whether you want to grow, launch a new product, enter a new market or just outsmart your competitors, a marketing strategy can help you get there faster.
We need to get under the bonnet of your business; to understand your goals, identify your key sectors, profile your customers
RESEARCH
This where we take a ‘deep dive’ into your business. Researching your competitors, your brand and your offering will help us to help you stand out in a crowded marketplace.
PLANNING
Remove the guess work and inject some consistency into your marketing. Creating a 90-day activity plan that becomes your marketing ‘road map’ is just part of the process.
Marketing Collateral
Before approaching a wholesale distributor it is worth spending some time putting a simple sales presentation together covering:
Your brand – it’s ethos, vision, purpose and aspirations
USPs – any unique ingredients, flavour combinations or production methods
Products and usage – clearly list all available products and consider including serving or recipe suggestions
Pricing – depending on a wholesale distributor’s order quantity your pricing may vary but make sure you have some starting point calculations to discuss
