Sales & Distribution


Selling is the key to success for any business, as is making your product available in the right places.

Startups.co.uk
A range of useful articles on the website, all aimed at small business.

An agent is someone who sells for a business, & a distributor is someone who actually handles the goods.

Finding an Agent or Distributor
It helps to know where you want to market your products. For export markets, start with our Trading Abroad topic area, or you may want to get in touch with Wales Trade International directly.

If you are looking for an agent or distributor within the UK, industry and trade associations are often a good source of information. The website from the Trade Association Forum
contains a directory of trade associations indexed both by industry and by name.

E-business:deliver products and services efficiently
An excellent article from Web Marketing Today. If you are thinking of selling products or services from a website, you need to consider how you are going to store and distribute those goods.

Drop Ship Source Directory
American, but a useful source. Drop-shipping enables an online merchant to have a manufacturer or distributor store the product and ship it only when an order is received.
