Contact Pavilions Buyer
Do not trust any “list” of buyers.
Typically retail buyers change either companies or positions every few years. This strategy helps retailers know that their buyers are not taking “kick-backs” and are selecting the very best product for the very best position each time.
Buyers are typically held to a very rigorous standard of sell-through volume that they must hit and because of this they are risk averse. Your job as a supplier or vendor is to convince them that the buyers going into the stores not only know about what you’re selling but are actively seeking the product in the store currently.
How to Submit a Product to Pavilions
There are several ways to get a product placed in Pavilions. However, most entrepreneurs only dream about getting their product distributed to major retailers, few actually do it. We have experienced a significant rise in interest since the show Shark Tank started airing on NBC. Mr. Checkout has had the pleasure of working with a few Shark Tank success stories such as KISStixx and 180 Party Cups which are now currently being distributed around the country to stores like Walmart, Target, Kroger, 7-Eleven and more.
If you envision your product would be a good fit for Pavilions, we have a few steps to help you get your product on their shelves.
Here are the 6 steps you need to take to have your product placed in Pavilions.
1. Start with the right questions.) Before you try distributing your product to Pavilions, you need to ask yourself a few basic questions. Do you need to build demand for your product, or is there already a demand for it Do you know that Pavilions would be interested in selling your product If you can strike a deal with Pavilions, can you handle the production volume Do you want to sell directly to Pavilions, or do you want to license your product to a manufacturer that will handle distribution
2. Be prepared to profit.) Does your product offer enough of a profit margin for Pavilions Can you sell your product at a reasonable enough profit to cover the packaging, shipping, commissions, marketing and wholesale distribution Check Pavilions guidelines for other fees that you will have to build into the cost of your product in order for you to be able to turn enough of a profit to make the effort worth your while. If you work with a discount retailer, they will try to strip your profits down to zero in order to keep their prices as low as possible.
The typical breakdown of margins are: If a products costs $1 to produce, that product will retail for $4. That product that retails for $4 will wholesale for $2 to distributors and stores that purchase direct. Big box retailers like Pavilions may offer to pay $1.25 to the manufacturer if the product costs $1 to produce. That is the typical profit margin.
3. Determine if Pavilions is the right store for your product.) The relationship between you and Pavilions starts with you browsing their store for competing products. If Pavilions already has a similar product, it is going to be very difficult to get your product picked up. Spend some time at your local Pavilions to see what kind of products they are selling, speak to the manager and see if he thinks your product will sell well in their store. Picture in which zone your product would best fit on the shelf and keep in mind that the most precious asset that these big box stores value are their shelf space. Keep this information in mind when you are preparing your presentation to Pavilions.
If your company is minority or women owned, check Pavilions website and see if they offer specific opportunities for those designations.
4. Pitch your product to Pavilions.) Decide whether it will be you or a representative to present your product to Pavilions. Your presentation depends heavily on your strengths as a businessperson as they will most likely ask financial questions and logistics questions.
It’s common for companies to hire a broker to pitch their product to Pavilions, as it will be more likely that your product will make it to the next stage if the individual pitching your product has industry knowledge or a personal relationship with Pavilions. The percentage of commission verses, however generally a broker will take around 5% to represent your product to Pavilions.
We at Mr. Checkout have experience dealing with brokers and know that there are several retail brokers that have poor business practices that can potentially damage your brand. If you are seeking a legitimate Pavilions broker, please give us a call for a recommendation. It could save you a huge headache and a lot of money.
5. Complete the required Pavilions paperwork.) Often Pavilions will have you go through an application process. However, before submitting the paperwork required by Pavilions, you should contact a buyer at Pavilions and let them know your intentions. Having a contact inside of the company will potentially move your application more smoothly through the process.
6. Anticipate the need for increased volume.) Having Pavilions agree to stock your product will most likely mean a significant increase in volume. You should be prepared to ramp up your production and informing your manufacturer of this opportunity.
Having production, logistics and distribution to sync is not only difficult, it requires a significant amount of time invested in customer relations. Also, Pavilions may have stipulations in the contract that may penalize you for delays in shipping and production. Have an attorney explain all contracts to you if you don’t understand the terms.
If you’re looking to sell your product to Pavilions, be sure to thoroughly assess the marketplace, carefully prepare for production growth, and take full advantage of resources available to help you grow your business.
