Almost every brand enters the market with the hopes of expanding into stores across the country, but the reality is not every brand will see this dream come true. A lot of factors can determine how successful a product will be, one of them being who is helping you along the way. For many brands that have managed to take their products nationally, this is Joel Goldstein, President of Mr. Checkout Distributors is a network of independent distributors, full-line grocery distributors and wagon-jobbers that currently supply inventory to over 35,000 stores across the country. Goldstein and his team have helped launch a number of brands that are now household names, including Keurig, 5-Hour Energy, Playboy, and Maybelline, among others. However, not as well known he works often as a negotiating placement of products into major retailers such as Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods and CVS. What’s the secret to Joel Goldstein’s success? “Our distributors work independently, so they often rely on Mr. Checkout to work as their go-between learning from other distributors what is selling and what’s not.” Goldstein says. “Our distributors know their markets and retail customers best, so they are able to tailor their strategies to meet each store’s needs.” Another way Goldstein differentiates himself from competitors is through Mr. Checkout reviews, which are meetings where the executive and distributor teams come together to review new products and analyze whether they are ready for the market. These reviews allow Goldstein to only send the products he believes in into the market, which is one of the reasons why he has found such success launching products nationally. “The review process is not just about determining whether a product is a good fit for the current market,” Goldstein says. “Our team also looks at the supplier to see whether they will work well with a network of independent distributors, and if they are ready to meet consumer demand.” Once a product is approved through the review, it enters the hands of motivated distributors who are eager to bring unique products to their connections at independent retailers around the nation. “We have found independent distributors to be more accepting of new products,” Goldstein continues. “In fact, big-box retailers often look to these independent stores to see what’s trending, so once you’re in the door with the independent stores, other doors may start to open for you.” Joel Goldstein and the distributors at Mr. Checkout Distributors may make it seem easy, but taking your product national is not an easy feat.

Click Here to tell us about your product Your Food Business Isn’t About You You started up this business creating a product or line of products that speak to you. Maybe it’s your grandmother’s secret cookie recipe, maybe it’s your uncle’s famous salsa, or maybe your business is simply based on your love for feeding people. You love your company and you love your products. What could possibly go wrong? Though passion is a big piece of what makes a successful entrepreneur, too often in the food industry entrepreneurs can’t see past their own love for the product. Unfortunately, that can be the biggest mistake they make. A smart entrepreneur looks at his/her product line not through their own eyes, but through the eyes of their target customer because, ultimately, you’re not the one buying your product day in and day out. If you want to build a successful business, you need to have products that other people will buy again and again.
