Distributor Search

Overview

Identifying a distributor that understands your product category, meets your logistical and operational needs, and expands your sales network is a complicated process. Insaito works with you to understand your goals, effectively target the right titles of people and develop a strong distribution network to simplify this process.

Types of Distributors

Analyzing the types of distributors helps you evaluate and assess which distributor fulfils your market needs and goals. Below are the key distributor types that you may choose to work with:

Exclusive Distributors

• Possess the sole rights to sell your products within a specific region to create a sense of exclusivity and scarcity, which can increase demand by limiting the product’s availability to select locations.
• They typically promote and sell high-value or specialized products while providing dedicated marketing and customer support.

Intensive Distributors

• Focus on getting products into as many outlets as possible to maximize reach, ideal for mass-market products like consumer goods where wide distribution is crucial.

Selective Distributors

• Work with a few carefully chosen outlets to sell products, focusing on quality over quantity and typically handling higher-end or niche products that require specialized selling techniques.

Identifying Vendors & Decision-Makers

• Once we choose a type of distribution model, our team works with you to build a list of target companies that may serve as your vendors.
• The next step is to identify the vendors, key decision-makers and appropriate titles within the distributor landscape, to ensure you reach the right contacts based on your preferences, needs, and business goals.
• Our tailored approach makes sure that your product is not only distributed effectively but also ethically through long-term, mutually beneficial connections with distributors.
