Selling in Canada: Chain Stores and the Government
Each product has a unique way of marketing, and you should design a marketing plan for selling it.
In marketing, first think to whom you want to sell this product. Some people wonder there is a populated network of Iranians in Canada and they may sell them dried nuts. What they don’t consider is that there are many minor importers in Canada as their competitors; even shop owners are into importing dried nuts.
The next note is that there are some minor distributors to whom you can connect. Find a good distributor or work with chain stores. Receiving the payment is guaranteed if you are a supplier for big chain stores. Another point is that you should be able to supply the goods for these stores. For example, dates sell well in Canada; but when you close a contract with chain stores, you must be able to supply a huge amount of a product and yet, you should wait for six months to get your money.
Selling to the government is a type of sales in Canada, and the government is one of the key customers. Almost in all businesses, the government buys services and products.
As mentioned before, there are three governmental levels. All governmental institutions are required to announce the services and goods they need through a transparent system.
It’s better if you choose someone to identify the governmental tenders related to the category of your business.. All these tenders are online and big or small corporations equally have access to information. Examine the provided information carefully, and offer your price based on that. There is contract information and information about where to contact if you need information about these projects and you can ask your questions through those contacts.
