For most small businesses, getting products on Walmart (NYSE:WMT) shelves is a huge dream. That’s because Walmart is the world’s largest retailer, attracting more than 140 million American customers every week<\/a>.<\/p>\n Not surprisingly, getting your products into Walmart is no walk in the park. You need to have a solid strategy to get your products on the Walmart shelves<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ohio-based product development firm, Idea Buyer<\/a>, recommends the following seven steps to get into Walmart.<\/p>\n If you’re selling a new product, make sure you patent it. That way, you will ensure your innovative product is not copied by anyone.<\/p>\n You will have to provide your company’s taxpayer identification number (TIN) to complete the other steps in the process.<\/p>\n You can get your barcode number from GSI US and a D-U-N-S Number from Dun & Bradstreet.<\/p>\n You can get a prototype of your product made if you haven’t started manufacturing yet.<\/p>\n A sales sheet can help you demonstrate why a store like Walmart should accommodate your product.<\/p>\n Walmart will require you to explain how you’re going to manufacture enough to fill an order from them. It therefore makes sense to have everything figured out in advance.<\/p>\n The final step is to visit corporate.walmart.com and submit your product for Walmart’s consideration. If they are interested, they will place a small order so they can test your product in select stores. If liked by customers, you will soon receive bigger orders and start selling across the country.<\/p>\n Photo via Shutterstock<\/a><\/small><\/em><\/p>\n This article, “Follow These 7 Steps to Get Your Product Sold at Walmart (INFOGRAPHIC)<\/a>” was first published on Small Business Trends<\/a><\/p>\n Can your small business ever get a product on the shelves at Walmart?
