Getting noticed by suppliers and local producers
Usually it's the shop that chases suppliers. Flip it: make it effortless for producers, distributors and local makers to find and reach you. The best ones will, and you'll source better products with less legwork.
Why make yourself findable to suppliers
Great products often come from small producers with no sales team and no ad budget — they rely on word of mouth and chance encounters. If your business is easy to find and contact, those encounters happen on purpose: you hear about a local cheese, a new craft beer or a seasonal harvest before the shop down the street.
What a supplier needs to see
Keep it obvious at a glance: your type of business, your location, what you sell, and a direct way to reach you. A supplier scanning your page should know in five seconds whether you're a fit and how to start a conversation.
Where to spread your page
Online
Put your page link in your social bios, your email signature and your Google profile. Anywhere a supplier might look you up, your page — and its contact button — should be one click away.
In the real world
Your QR code is your offline business card. Bring it to markets, trade fairs and producer meetups: a quick scan lands them on your page and its “Suppliers & partners” button. Pair it with your other contact and sharing buttons so every channel points home.
Turn contacts into a network
Being reachable by suppliers is one half of a local network; the other is partnering with nearby shops. Together they make your business a hub — the place producers and neighbours both think of first.
Let suppliers find you — free
Create your page, turn on the “Suppliers & partners” button, and let producers reach you in one tap.

Why would I want suppliers to contact me?
Because the best products often come from small producers with no sales rep and no ad budget. If they can reach you in one tap, you discover short supply chains and new products before your competitors do.
What does a supplier look for on my page?
Your type of business, your location, what you sell, and above all a direct way to get in touch. A clear page with a “Suppliers & partners” button answers all of that in seconds.
Where should I share my page to reach suppliers?
On your socials, in your email signature, on your cards, and via your QR code at markets, trade shows and with local producers. The QR sends them straight to your page and its contact button.
Won't this just bring cold pitches?
The button opens a WhatsApp chat you control: you reply when you want, keep the useful contacts and ignore the rest. It's a qualified channel, not a number plastered everywhere.
