Hi
I just looking for some general advice.
I have a new product coming out of a University research lab that would probably go to market through DIY superstores. The product helps individual households reduce their energy consumption.
Can anybody give advice on how this sector works? what mark-up DIY stores would apply, minimum sales volume we'd need to demonstrate before they would be interested? Would it have to be exclusive with one store? Payment terms etc.
Thanks
The large sheds have a reputation for being hard to deal with. They hold the 'channel power' and like the big supermarkets are completely ruthless. I'm not trying to put you off, but be aware they will have the fillings from your teeth given half a chance.
It's not another rehash of the 'lower the voltage to fridge motors' one is it? Have you actually had someone external to the team measure it to make sure that it does in fact save energy?
