Comments, Advice Needed - Wholesale Paper Palaver by infolpf: 12:09am On Sep 29, 2011 |
Problem: We have a warehouse full of GREAT quality, top bond printer / copy paper from the USA. Brands like Xerox, HP etc. Over 1000 reams. In typical American 8.5 x 11 size. Reality: Nigeria uses A4 paper. Side by side, There is VERY little difference in size between A4 and 8.5 x 11 inches. Infact, A4 is precisely 8.3 x 11.7 inches. So really we are talking .3 inches off in width, and .7 inches off in length! Everyone loves the paper when they see it (most other paper available is cheap, flimsy China paper), but immediately say " Ah but na A4 we dey use". We suspect that they use this as a means of getting it dirt cheap, since they usually proceed to try to negotiate anyway! Printers love it, and have been our biggest purchasers so far, but we want someone who can clear the whole lot! Suggestions Requested: Need your help marketing and selling this product to the right customer. Questions-who would you suggest we target, and how / where do we find them? Is there someone in the house interested in earning a commission from this sale by bringing the right buyer? NB - My Ibo brothers at the market can be left out because we have not succeeded in holding any reasonable discussions with them. There is apparently a paper mafia, and they are very beholden to the structure. Looking forward to responses especially from those knowledgeable about the industry.
