I plan on doing much more of this in the future.
I have a couple of local shops I am supplying jars on consignment where I know the owners so it was easier to get my foot in the door. I am working right now on a letter to send introducing the product to shops that I don't frequent. Does anyone have an intro letter that they use that I could see?? I want it to look professional and not at all like a mlm company but more like a distributor of wholesale high quality gourmet candles. I also want it to stand out so they don't just throw it away.
I do plan on calling first to see who I should send in attention to. Do you have call scripts too I can look at?

I've been trying to market to them, but have only gone to a couple. If you e-mail me, I can reply back with my letter I use - Sandy@SandysSpot.net (will be heading off to work this morning, so unless you're on early, will send it out once I get home!)

Hey Debra!smileys/smiley17.gif
That'sa great question.
I have some partners on my third and second levels who actually have our products in their stores.
I'll ask them what they would want to see in a letter.
I'll let you know!smileys/smiley2.gif
