Let’s talk about foodservice! Selling your products at bars, cafés and restaurants is a great way to raise brand awareness, extend the reach of your brand and thus increase demand for your products. There are several success stories from brands that got listings at big retailers, after first building a love brand in foodservice – because once you try something at a restaurant or café and you like it, you’ll buy it later at the supermarket, right?
Foodservice however follows different rules than retail, so in this Live Session we want to give you some tips & insights that can help you to win great listings.
These are the topics that we will cover:
– Selling to foodservice – how is it different from selling to retail?
– How does the distribution to foodservice work?
– Who are the main players in the Netherlands when it comes to distribution?
– What drives the buyers to purchase & what do they need from you?
– How do you calculate prices & margins?
– And of course, all the mistakes you can make when getting started within foodservice.
