Hi all, I am looking for distributors who can help me to push my products in the U.S. I am currently selling backpacks and sport watches. The biggest problem I got is the brand new. This is a new brand I created and got trademark just half year ago. No one in the U.S knows the brand. Anyone have any good idea for me please? Thanks

First question - do you have a website?

If so - put a big banner across it stating that distributors arer required with enticing terms!

A new brand... just start... get it out there... try as hard as possible to get it out there. Get certificates for your products, do testing, get statistics bout ur product.. make sure its 100% reliable etc.

You might also offer to dropship for resellers. There are many sports oriented websites, you may find some customers there.

What makes you stuff better than the stuff already selling in the USA? Price? Quality? Features? A combination of all three?

It is hard selling in the USA, I stopped over a year a go. Had to work twice as hard for half the profit (USD/GBP). Plus I had the upkeep of an office in MN.

My advice to you is to email some B&M and online retailers with the info and of course the selling points. Then follow up with a call and offer free stock (yes free!) or at a very minimum a free sample.

Personally I'd concentrate cracking the UK first.

Free stock sounds like a good idea. Say 5 or 10 of each.. gotta spend to make

Thanks so much for every opinion.
My biggest selling point is quality, then style and price.
I am thinking of two alternatives.
The first one is push my own product and own brand.
otherwise, I will provide OEM and ODM services for western companies. This way I just offer services.
God Bless! Hope everything will go smoothly.

Go with your own brand - the more value you can add, the better.
