FAQ
Requirements vary by channel and product type. Generally, we look for brands with the capacity to support at least $50,000-$100,000 in annual wholesale sales in Western Canada. We're happy to discuss your specific situation during our initial conversation.
We typically work on a margin structure where we purchase product from you at a distributor cost and sell to retailers at wholesale pricing. The specific margin depends on the category, channel, and service level. We'll provide a detailed proposal after understanding your product line.
In most cases, yes — we prefer to be the exclusive sales and distribution partner for Western Canada. This allows us to fully invest in building your brand without competing against other distributors. However, we can discuss specific situations where carve-outs may make sense.
Timeline depends on the retailers and category reset schedules. For independent and specialty retailers, we can often secure listings within 4-8 weeks. Major grocery chains typically have quarterly or semi-annual category reviews, so timing varies. We'll map out realistic expectations during our planning process.
You'll receive regular reporting including: weekly/monthly sales data by account and SKU, distribution tracking (where you're listed), inventory status, promotional performance analysis, and periodic market insights. We also schedule regular business review calls to discuss strategy and results.
