What type of person is a Show Distributor?

Perhaps between jobs, have some spare time, retired or semi-retired with a desire to do something fun to stay busy and earn some extra income. The difference here is that as a Show Distributor, you have control over when you attend events – no-one else decides when you are to work.

Maybe working full time but looking for extra cash to make ends meet and able to spare one or two days a month at weekends.

Someone who;

  • would like an independent income
  • enjoys meeting people and getting paid for it
  • likes feeling useful
  • bored being retired

Previous occupations of our Show Distributors include Headmaster, Petrol station owner, Salesman, Computer analyst, Policeman, Business owner, Promotional staff company owner, Warehouse Manager, IT Manager, Ex Forces

Most of our Show Distributors Earn between £5,000 and £10,000 per year by selling our range of Spirits & Liqueurs at consumer shows. To achieve this level of income most of our Show Distributors will work on average, two days per month.

Top 10 questions about our Show Distributor Businesses-new areas available now

The purpose of this Blog is to look at the top 10 areas that prospective Show Distributors have questions about before starting.

1 Is it a Franchise? No. It is a standalone business that you will run, buying stock from us and selling it at events in your Territory. There are no fees for joining, for ongoing marketing or monthly fees.

2 Where do I find events that are suitable? We will provide you with a list of over 50 types of events that are now attended by our existing Show Distributors. Call with us before booking an event just to check that the costs vs anticipated sales ratio is about right.

3 How quickly will I be earning money? The target is to get to the stage where all your stock funded out of show profits-this usually is within @ 3-6 Show days. Most franchises take at least a year to achieve anything near this.

4 What happens if I buy too much stock or want to retire? All stock comes with a 100% buy back guarantee – you get back what you paid for the stock, as long as it is a sellable condition.

5 How do I lay out a Trade Stand? We provide photographs to you showing how to do this. Part of the training provided (free to you) cover stand layout and presentation and what you say to customers at shows.

6 Do I need an Alcohol Licence? Yes. Sometimes the organisers of an event have this in place. We recommend that you take a 1 day course and obtain your Personal Licence-this then means that you can apply for Temporary Event Notices for events and have your own Licence for the Show.

7 The price of the brands look high-do people pay this much? Yes. We have been trading via the Show Distributor model for over 20 years and it works throughout Great Britain.

8 Are there any brands that are only for Show Distributors? Yes. We have a range of Single Cask Single Malt Scotch whiskies that are not available on our Website or in any retailer. This means that it is much more likely that customers will buy from you on the Show day.

9 I have never sold anything before. Will I be able to do this? Yes. We provide training before your first event, at our Annual Show Distributor Meeting (accommodation, meals and refreshments paid for by us) or at an actual event.

10 Do I have my own Territory. Yes and you get an Agreement confirming this. You then have the right to book events in your Territory. If you wish to do an Event in another Territory, just call up the Show Distributor who works there.

If you have any other questions not answered here, just call Roy Lewis on 01436-679935

Single Cask Whiskies – in stock and about to be bottled

Single cask whiskies available now and coming out soon

For some time, we have been sourcing and supplying via our Show Distributors, single cask Scotch whisky. If you look for this type of product on the Internet or almost any Whisky retailer, you will see that these are usually costing £60+ per 70cl bottle.

By bottling in 50cl bottles, the retail price can be reduced to @ £50 which means that our customers can experience the unique taste of single cask whiskies without breaking the bank.

Currently these are the casks available via our Show Distributors – this means you can buy these from their stand at consumer shows. These whiskies are mostly only available via this outlet as there is not enough out of each cask to also supply retail shops too.

Mariner Malt II Glentauchers (located in the Speyside region – neighbour to the Craigellachie distillery) 2002 – Cask Number 15850 – 12 years Old

Mariner Malt III Tobermory (located on the island of Mull on Scotland’s West Coast) 1996 Cask Number 349 – 18 Years Old

Speyside Distillery (located near Kingussie/Aviemore) 1995 cask number Z95/524 – 19 Years Old

 

Casks to be bottled soon (this year);

Dailuaine (Speyside Region) 1997

Ben Nevis (Highland Region) 1996

Tobermory (Island Region) 1995

Speyside Distillery (Speyside Region) 1995

 

 

101 Gins To Try Before You Die – now out!

101 Gins book now available

Recommended logo

The above book is now out. Took delivery of our starter stock last week.

The hardback volume is very nicely produced – glossy paper and great photographs – easy to read too. Ancient Mariner Gin is number 5 in the book – a good, well thought out summary of the brand and with some lines from The Ancient Mariner poem to boot.

Get you copy now on Amazon – just key in ‘101 Gins’ and that will take you to the book site where you can order it – it is £12.08 including delivery via Prime.

Arran Whisky Tasting Set now available via Amazon

Tasting kit (6) (web)Tasting kit (2) (web)Since last year, we have been supplying a Regions of Scotland Whisky Tasting Set. This has proved to be popular that in May last year we introduced another one based on Malts from the Island of Arran in the Firth of Clyde. All the malts have a nice West Coast feel to them and each one is different.

The set includes 30ml bottles of the following Arran Distillery whiskies;

  • 10 year old
  • 14 year old
  • Port cask finish
  • Amarone cask finish
  • Sauternes cask finish

Each Set comes in a Presentation Box with Tasting Notes cards for each whisky and a Tasting Mat so that you and your friends can take part in your own Tasting Session. You even get a card with instructions on how to taste and drink  whisky.

It is a really novel gift and a must for anyone who enjoys the many Scottish islands on the West Coast.

From where we are based in Helensburgh, you can see the mountains on Arran easily from the tops of the hills in Glen Fruin behind the town. Last year when we had a late snow fall, Arran looked like it was in the Alps – amazing.

On Amazon, just key in ‘Arran Whisky Tasting Set’ and that should take you to a page where you can buy it from us.

 

What are the best shows near you? Win a £10 Waitrose voucher.

We’re always looking for top notch events to attend throughout the UK. One of the best ways we find out about good shows is from customers at shows we already go to.

You may know of an event that is just up our street-well organised and attended by the public, not too expensive for us to take a Trade Stand and good value for the public coming along. The best ones are those where the typical person coming to the event has a reason to be there-a local social event, special interest group or brilliant location. Sometimes all these are combined in an event. This means that it can be staged during the week rather than the weekend, as the organisers know that they will get a good turnout no matter what.

If you have an event in mind that you think would suit us, please call (01436-679935) or send details to me, Roy Lewis at;

roylewis@hebridean-liqueurs.co.uk

If we end up attending the event you inform us of, and it is one we do not already go to or do not do for other reasons, I will send you a £10 Waitrose Voucher.

To give you an idea of the types of event that we go to, here is a list of some of them;

  • Food and Drink Fairs
