Post subject:  companies to contact?

so, my boss wants me to contact companies that might be interested in purchasing mass orders of aluminum water bottles and/or anti-magnetics wallets.

I've already contacted the big chains (Wal-Mart, target, Walgreens, etc.)

Can anyone recommend any others that might be interested in purchasing them as a promotional giveaway or to sell in their store?

Thanks very much!

What the hell is an anit-magnetic wallet?

it's all the rage, Darkside!!The significance of having a wallet anti-magnetic, simply is that it prevents magnets from interfering with the magnetic strip on the back of credit cards.

Holy Gauss man!

Never had that problem. I'll stick with my eelskin wallet.

Thanks for your suggestion! It's a good idea... but these are not your typical plastic water bottle. They are made of aluminum, without those thick plastic straws. They kind of look like a skinny thermos or canteen.

Dollar General. Dollar Tree, Family Dollar Fred's Inc, they are out of Memphis. Try Academy Sports out of Katy, TX for the water bottle.

Wouldn't any of the Bally's or Xtreme Fitness - type places be a possibility?
Women on treadmills = water bottle

thanks! Just sent them e-mails.

Selling 30,000 aluminum sports water bottles and 14,400 anti-magnetic wallets aren't as easy to sell, as it may sound! :cry:

If I were you, I'd call their main purchasing man and be on a plane to wherever they're based at. In the meantime, I'd fedex promo material about the bottles and wallets to his and his boss' attention. I wonder if your e-mail even makes it through their junk mail filters.

That's my problem, whenever I call, I always get their bloody voicemail!! They must sense me coming and head for the hills :-(
