Is it the B&M's job to request Nicoticket to be sold there or is NT going to the B&M's looking for new customers? I'd really like to see NT in my local B&M.
Most of the time its up to the B&M. You should talk to them and see if they are willing to pick up that companies juice.
I am planning on heading into Houston one day and hitting up a few B&M's and bring my steep box with me to do the same. I already carry NT business cards with me everywhere so I figured why not kick it up a notch. I have to get someone around here to carry it for the big switch, Texas doesn't want to see me with no Virus.
Really waiting on getting all my favorites in the glass bottles so they get to see how dang good they look and taste. So far I have The Virus and GCD, I just need Wakonda in glass to start off with the heavy hitters. And get some smaller bottles of the one's I ran out of or that I am not big on, to bring the whole line up or as close to it as I can.
RtG, I HIGHLY recommend that you do not bring in full bottles. They will fill their tanks up with it. My GCD was GONE after the staff were done with it and I was left with no GCD.
Oh hell naw I may fill a tank and let them pass it around or put some in a dripper for them, I am sure a B&M has drip tips they can switch out. Now if they love it so much they want to reimburse me to get another bottle and keep mine so other customers try it that's one thing. But they would have a one man riot on their hands if they vaped up all of one of my juices. While that maybe not good for getting NT in their store they would never doubt how much I like it cause I would be going nuts!
Edit: I was thinking about that earlier too after I initially posted and am going to make it clear wherever I do go that I am in no way affiliated with the company. Just a regular customer who on their own dime is taking the time to bring NT juices to nearby B&M's because I think they make an amazing product. I think that would speak volumes to what a great juice line it is, I know I would take notice if I were said owner of the B&M.
Yep, I had shopped there before and bought some of their crappy juice lines, so they knew I was a sincere customer who wanted them to carry NT juice line.
I seriously was a little offended they took ALL of my juice. For real. They DUMPED their tanks and filled 'em up with good 'ole GCD. But, hopefully it was for the greater good.
This is what I did. I went into Altsmoke's B&M store in Columbus, Ohio with my GCD and Virus for them to sample. The store manager was there and LOVED the juices, all of the employees took over my GCD and I was left with none.
They said they were VERY interested in Clark's e-juices, so I handed them Clark's business card. They told me to have Nicoticket send them samples in 0-3mg to the store and they would give it to the district manager. I shot Clark an email and told him of my conversation.
That's how I did it. I'm in high hopes this works out because it's my favorite B&M.
Sick clouds brah, sick clouds. ...Why on earth they'd only want to see 0 and 3 mg I've no clue. Talk about eliminating a HUGE section of a customer base. SMH

I took in 6mg 15ml bottles of each of the regular juices, fulling willing to have them emptied. I passed them around to staff and some of their regulars that were hanging in the lounge (you can tell who the regulars are by how comfortable they are, and how often staff walk over to chat with them). After that, I requested contact info for the owner to arrange a meeting. Took the same lineup for the meeting with the owner who sampled all of them. He was interested enough that he wanted 2 business cards.
Some of the B&M's around here (we have at least 60 B&M's within a 50 mile radius of me) carry only their line of juice. I have a list of those that carry other vendors juices and will hit those first.
I did explain that I am not an employee of Nicoticket, but am interested in having them locally available to help keep local businesses thriving. This statement tells them what is in it for me, and what is in it for them.
I will get busy with this again as soon as work slows down in mid December.

Have you heard how lovely Christmas time is here in Indy? You know, in case you need another location to exercise your salesmanship.
