If you have a line of fantastic gifts and/or accessories, the best way to kick start your products and establish your lines is if you venture into the marketing world and find someone to help you advertise, distribute, and make connections in your industry. RepHunter is designed to help you find outside sales representatives that can undertake this process for you, leaving you to handle the work of bringing designs into fruition.

Your new outside sales representative will start out by determining what audience you want to target. You may be looking for general consumers, a specific age group, or any other sort of demographic. Nailing down exactly who you want to reach is the first step in actually reaching them.

Once you have your target audience nailed down, the next step is finding the best medium to let them know about your great products. Not all forms of advertising are created equal. Different age groups use different forms of social media and use various forms of entertainment. A good outside sales rep will navigate these worlds on your behalf with skill.

Gift trade shows and events occur regularly in the gift industry, where unique and exciting products are shown and you can reach out directly to consumers. Your outside sales representative can help you determine which events are going to give you the most bang for your buck and even attend these shows.

It’s also helpful to contact large scale buyers directly and set up meetings, either at a trade show or independently. Having a buyer focused on what you’re offering rather than being forced to compete with other artists will give you an extra edge.

A sales rep in the souvenir industry will also be able to help you personalize your interactions with potential buyers. The more you know about the buyers’ wants and needs, the more you can tailor your product to them. Having that information prior to meeting with a buyer is even more powerful. When you’re ready to take your gifts to the next level find a sales rep who can help your business get the attention it deserves.

You love gifts and you love helping others get their amazing products to the public. Isn’t it time you found a fantastic job that matched your abilities? Finding gift sales representative jobs, or more accurately, new lines, work, and business opportunities may be easier than you think. With the upturn in the economy, you can find great gift sales lines today.

Finding New Giftware Lines

Areas and niches that a year ago didn’t have heavy business may now be a booming source of designers. However, if your information isn’t up to date on a site like RepHunter, many may not consider giving you a second look as their outside sales representative.

Expand Your Territory For More Gift Lines

If you want to increase your results and sell gift lines wholesale, try expanding your service area. Sometimes just being willing to move one state over is enough to bring clients to you. Territory is always an important consideration in looking for gift lines or lines from any other type of industry. Be sure to discuss this with the manufacturer, supplier, or service provider (or as referred to here, a "Principal").

Advertise Yourself

Advertise past achievements so your future clients get a sense of what you’re capable of as an outside sales rep in giftware sales. Talk about what companies you’ve worked with as well as what type of product you’ve successfully sold. If you don’t have much experience, look for temporary jobs that can help bolster your experience.

Consider developing a standard roadmap of what clients can expect when they start working for you. Often, clients will feel more comfortable if they know what to expect and when to expect it. At what point should clients expect a website? An online commercial? A blog? An expo? Come up with a reasonable timeline for your activities as an outside sales rep and stick to it.

When you sign up with RepHunter, you gain access to hundreds of clients that are hoping to sell their gift lines but need your help to do it. Post your profile to have potential clients seek out your expertise and proactively search for principals. As your experience and tools expand in gift sales, more and more clients will find your profile and opt to contract with you, and your gift sales rep work will increase.
