RSNeely Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Trying to get a few ideas on this. Those that wholesale jigs to stores, how do you show/display your colros to them? I will be offering roughly 20 main colors on my website. I was throwing around the idea of making the 20 up and putting them in a plano box to take with me. Another option is to just build 1 or 2 and then carry a photo album. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawkman Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Don't do the picture thing. Physical product will be better. I don't sell jigs but I worked in purchasing for a big part of my life. Have you thought about making extra's of the popular (or maybe unique) colors for samples? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSNeely Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 That's what I was thinking about doing. I was going to make everything that's on my website (color wise) and just keep that in a box to show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samples could be OK, but you can give away a lot of product too. I would judge the free product by the reception given and the return I thought it might give. Just an opinion of someone that has done a little canvassing long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robalo01 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Imho, I have been wholesaling fishing tackle for 20 years. 2 suggestions: 1) keep color selection to 8-10. Have more models, fewer colors. Then offer feature colors every month or two. 2) show the actual product in its retail packaging. Don't give away samples or do consignment. Onw more thing-- take stock to sell on the spot. One advantage you try to exploit over national brands is immediate fulfillment. Good luck.
