Following on from the last post regarding how just 25 customer can make a substantial impact on your business, I thought it was worth expanding the idea to attract distributor sign ups in the retail sector.

Two areas of the retail sector that the UK has in abundance are corner shops and pubs. At first glance these two out lets may not seem to have much in common but on closer inspection they have two goods in common. Cigarettes and Alcohol.

For both the economic recession has been tough and the need to boost income should be an idea that most shop and pub owners will be happy to listen to.

Here are how the figures pan out.

I have mentioned before that with just 25 retail customers an independent distributor can make 8.00 a pack on retailing refills for the electronic cigarette buy buying in bulk (box of 50). Ask them to compare this to the retail profit on sales of tobacco.

Also, you could point out that selling the refills to their existing customers will bring those customers back to their shop/pub time and time again to buy refills….and other items from their shop/pub. The product not being widely available in the large supermarkets means that this can be a market the small independent owners can own for themselves.

To recap what’s in it in terms of profit.

If the shop retails just 25 units they will supply on average 100 boxes of refill a month – Profit 800.00 a month – ( Plus retail profit om 25 units ( up to 1000 depending on scale of purchase)

At 50 units the monthly profit 1600.00 ( Retail up to 2200)

At 100 units the monthly profit equates to average 400 boxes a month or 3200 a month  RECURRING income.

A new distributor can start with as little outlay as they like but I would suggest for a store or pub, the BIZ6 or higher increases margins and is wekk within acceptable parameters.
