Michaels Vendor – How to Become a Michaels Store Vendor

People always ask me about retailers such as Michael Stores. Let’s go through some tips and strategies that will  help you think through selling to retailers such as Michael Stores.

What is Michael Stores all about? It is essentially a retailer that focuses a lot on arts and crafts products. But Michael Stores also have variety. If you walk into their stores, you’d see they have gift items, office supply products and all sorts of things other than arts and crafts.

The reason I bring this up is because, as a sales person, I understand that my competitors aren’t typically thinking of selling products to Michael Stores because they’re focused on being an arts and crafts store. But, if I want to make money, it’s good strategy to go for retailers like this that won’t necessarily be as competitive. If you have a product that could fit in that store, I would highly recommend:

  • First, going to that store and taking a look around to see whether or not your products would make a great fit there
  • Second I recommend reaching out to that retailer because it could be a great opportunity for you since not everyone is thinking of selling to a retailer such as Michael Stores

The idea here is simple: follow where the least resistance is. If you are looking for a place that might not be as competitive for your product type, then you might want to consider a retailer which is a little bit different and not typically on people’s radar like arts and crafts.

If you like to learn the exact steps from start to finish on how to get a product into retailers such as Michael Stores please take a look at my Retail MBA program. You’ll probably love it. It’s the most comprehensive course available today on the subject of selling to retailers. Be sure to be on the lookout for my additional helpful content about getting your products into stores.
