New to Industry

[Simon Golledge]

We are new to the headphone industry and would like to find out if there is a regulatory body we can go to with help to finding distributors for our products throughout Europe? Who are the major distributors for this sector, can anyone offersome advice please?

You won't usually find distributors that will be agents for a number of headphone manufacturers. Most smaller distributors will carefully select one brand to represent so as to avoid conflicts of interest. So probably best to try distributors that don't already represent any headphone manufacturers. Tough market you're entering though!

Big talk for new player in a market that largely values style over substance. And I don't mean that as an insult to your business, just that you have a cliff face to climb. Good luck and wear sturdy boots.

There is (or was) a Headjam in Europe this week, so that would be an essential starting point. Take copious notes, and don't take anyone too seriously just because they have a large following.

I would have thought supplying your product/s to one of the hifi publishers for testing would be a good first move no?

I assume you have some sort of direct sell scheme in place at present?

If not, iQSpeakers (Boggit) in the main forum will probably take you up on it. - He sucks up products like a gully does water
