- Finding a Distributor
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This is the first step in getting your software onto the store
- shelves and into the hands of re-sellers. A distributor is the
- middle man that coordinates getting your software to the stores.
- Most national chains will not deal with a software package unless
- it is handled by a distributor.
-
- The registered version of ~The Software Marketer~ comes with a
- Distributor database containing over 700 distributor's (Software
- Plus, Software Resources, etc.) addresses and telephone numbers.
- With ~The Software Marketer~ you can merge a form letter with the
- database and create a custom mail out to attract a distributor to
- your software product.
-
- We have also included some hardware distributors, because hardware
- distributors are always looking for software packages that they can
- package with their hardware to make it more appealing.
-
- ~The Software Marketer~ comes with a sample letter, DISTRIB.LTR,
- that can be used as a guide for how to approach a potential
- distributor.
