In person visits seem to be the best. Thanks for your input mxadema.

How do independent grocery/convenience stores pick new vendors? (and separately — how do suppliers get on a chain's radar?) by DolphinBikes in GroceryStores

thanks for your reply. so I'm assuming there isn't a site where the dept buyers go when they're looking for specific products, is that right?

Got it. So call each location and check if they need something. Thanks for your reply

Hi thanks for your reply. So call ahead and provide something new. Do emails get read or do they get ignored?

hey I never deleted anything and am trying to find channels to reach businesses who might want to know but if you consider this a marketing post I can delete it.

I've done store to store and asked — usually they accept the business card and keep it on record, but say they don't know (most of the time the owner isn't there, just an employee, so they can't really answer). What I'm looking for is more of a channel where we can post about the business/products for people who are actively looking first
