I Launched a Product and Landed a Deal with Walmart
- Applethief 7y agoYour idea is actually genius. Nice job!
- batoure 7y agoThis is a really neat product I will add the following. Years ago when I wrote algorithms to optimize inventory for consumer package goods companies I regularly heard a particular saying. “Getting I’m to Walmart is easy staying in at Walmart is hard” Large companies like Walmart experiment with products all the time. They are also masters at squeezing their suppliers to minimize cost and force the speed of delivery into their supply chain. People are generally surprised to realize how easy it might be to land a 10,000$ plus contract with Walmart. The real measurement within the industry is to ask how many re-orders have you been able to support while still maintaining a profitable business. A follow up to this article a couple years from now will be really fascinating.
- uxcolumbo 7y agoCongrats on launching. Plus points if you can use bio degradable packaging. We produce enough plastic waste already and making it biodegradable might be a good marketing point as well.
- fred_is_fred 7y agoCompletely off topic, but it's become clear that English teachers have harassed people so much about using "me" vs "I", that it's defacto been replaced by "myself". It should be "shipped to me", not "shipped to myself". If you find yourself writing "myself" you should stop to check because "me" is much more common.
