Transcript Outline – Learn everything you need to know to become a gift shop supplier
Hey there! I’m Karen Waksman, the founder of Retail MBA. Today I wanted to discuss the opportunity of selling your products as gift shop supplies, to museum stores.
Being a supplier for museum gift shops can truly be a game changer for your business. Let me tell you why it’s worth considering.
You see my passion is finding ways for people to monetize their products. It’s what I do helping you make money from your new offerings. One way to do that is by exploring markets that your competitors might not have tapped into yet. The museum store market is an example of such an opportunity.
I won’t lie. Becoming a vendor for museum gift shops can be a little time consuming. However it’s a challenge that I find fascinating and love discussing.
So lets dive into this topic and explore the potential it holds for your business! So I want to touch upon the museum store market and some important aspects to consider in that space. If you’re interested, in getting into this topic you can explore my Retail MBA program, which provides insights on how to sell to these stores.
Advantages of Becoming a Supplier
Lets discuss the advantages of becoming a supplier for museum gift shops. The reason I bring up museum stores is because they can be found in every city, county and state across the country well as globally. There are likely hundreds of thousands or even more of these museums and many of them have stores within their premises. Why do they have these stores? Well when people visit museums they often feel inclined to purchase items related to their visit.
It’s worth noting that museum gift shops contribute significantly to the revenue generated by museums; it’s a business, for them.
So these museum stores are actually interested, in finding products that are relevant to the theme or topic being showcased in the museum. They also look for interesting gift items. Now lets get into how one can become a supplier for museum gift shops.
Once you establish yourself as a supplier for museum gift shops they will be inclined to purchase a variety of products from you.
For instance when dealing with museum stores it’s important to recognize that there are types of museums. Some focus on children while others emphasize technology or specific ethnicities. There are even museums dedicated to astronomy or other areas of interest. Most of these museums have stores within their premises. Therefore it’s worth considering reaching out, to them…If you have an interesting gift item museum stores can be a fit, for you. These stores are always on the lookout for new gifts to offer their customers. In addition to products related to the museum itself they often have a range of items including food, gifts and other random things that people can purchase. Museum stores are constantly expanding their offerings.
Ways to Approach Museum Shops
There are two ways you can approach selling your products to museum gift shops. Firstly if you have a gift item or something thats new and intriguing it could be a match for museum stores. Secondly if your product is targeted towards children consider exploring the market by reaching out to children’s museums. There are museums dedicated to providing experiences for kids.
It’s worth noting that engineering and technology museums are prevalent, across locations well.
There are stores where buyers purchase various products. It’s quite fascinating and profitable to make a living out of it. Alternatively if you happen to have an innovative product or something similar why not consider selling it to the numerous technology museums that are emerging everywhere? Engineering and technology museums are scattered over the place presenting an opportunity, for your product especially if its a consumable electronic item that can also serve as an excellent gift.
Sometimes these museum stores purchase items that are interesting and distinctive simply because they want to align with their museums theme. The key here is that there are possibilities for segmenting your audience when it comes to museum stores.
Did you know they even have adult museums? You could explore selling your product in adult museum stores if you have an adult oriented item. On the hand if you have an appealing gift item that would be suitable for museum stores, across the country that’s another option worth considering. Ultimately the decision is yours. The main point I’m trying to convey is that by targeting museum stores and strategically placing your products in each location you have the potential to generate revenue.
