Evoshave – Global Distributors
A phone call from an engaing sales manager in London led to us taking on the Evoshave project.
Sure, 2021 was a pretty dead time so business was slow, but something about the product was
appealling and we reached out to our contacts in retail. Yes – they were interested.
On paper the deal was fairly straight forward – locate wholesale buyers and distributors that would buy
container loads of shavers at $80,000 a pop and move them through supermarkets and other retailers.
We would receive an ongoing commission to keep the system working.
How did it go?
Never Fall In Love
It is always exciting to get involved with a new product as the opportunity is boundless and everyone is keen to give it a go.
This particular product was truly unique and despite the jaded business sentiment we had a pretty good response and the samples were well received.
Over several months we negotiated distribution agreements in Africa, the UK and the USA so that part was going smoothly.
Eventually, however, we realised that our “written agreement” was not worth anything and we moved on to better things.
Its tempting to say the entire effort was a waste of time, but that would ignore the new partners and friends we made amongst importers around the World – some of whom have worked wiith us on other projects.
