Top 3 Tips for Independent Sellers | Rada Cutlery Resellers

Rada Cutlery sells to thousands of Resellers each year. A Reseller or Independent Seller is an individual or small business who buys Rada Cutlery products wholesale from our factory and offers them to their customers. There are a number of different options for reselling Rada Cutlery, including: catalog sales, home parties, fairs, festivals, shows, shops and owner operated stores as well as internet sales.

To begin selling Rada Cutlery as a Reseller, you need to have a sales tax ID. The minimum order is only $75 with no annual sales quotas. The prices are set by you – according to your overhead costs and profit target. The reseller catalog does not include pre-printed prices but rather ovals where you can write in your own prices. Or you may choose to sell from the Rada Home Parties catalog that does include pre-printed prices.

Here are the top three tips to keep in mind when selling Rada products.

1.  Demonstration

When selling Rada Cutlery products, it is always helpful to show the customer how wonderfully the products work. The vegetable peeler, paring knife and the knife sharpener are some of the easiest products to demonstrate. People will be amazed with how easy our Quick Edge Knife Sharpener is to use. You can demonstrate using the Vegetable Peeler and the Regular Paring Knife with carrots, cucumbers or potatoes.

If you are selling any of the Quick Mix products – it also helps to prepare a dip or have a cheese ball available so they can sample the product with crackers, chips or vegetables. The Cheese Knife is another great product to demonstrate to potential customers. It cuts through both hard and soft cheese with ease. You can also serve the cheese you slice to customers.

2.  Display

How you display or present the products is a very important aspect of selling Rada Cutlery as it helps your customers to consider the items they want to add to their kitchen. Whether you are selling from a store, at an event or from a catalog – your product presentation can help your sales efforts.

When selling in a store or at an event, such as a fair or festival, your table display is very important. This will be the first thing a potential customer sees and as the old sayin goes, you only get one chance at a first impression. Rada offers some different display and promotion options to help with your table presentation. We have several different table top display boxes that can hold everything from knives to utensils. We also have a Rada Cutlery banner, table runner and poster to clearly identify what you are selling.

Another promotional option to create interest is the Rada DVD with various videos of Rada Cutlery products in-use. The dvd can be played on a laptop or TV. You will likely find it helpful to use some of these display tools but in the end, this is your business and how you put your own personal touch on your display will be important to your customers.

Even if you are choosing to sell from the Rada Cutlery catalog, you may want to have samples available to show the quality construction. There is a Demonstrator Case available to Resellers. It can be purchased either empty for you to choose which items to feature or pre-loaded with some popular items. The case opens flat on the table to provide an easy way for your customer to view various knives and utensils as they shop.

3.  Know your product
