Convince LFS to get NLS?

[fishfanatic33]

Kaa heres my problem I realy want to get NLS but I dont really want to pay for shipping,so I looked in my lfs and they dont carry it. The head fish guy there said that even though its probably really good,there has to be a limit to how many foods they carry. Thats very understandable,but I really think they would apprieciate its value(they are that kind of people)if I can convince them to try it.I'm also worried about the price,although if it proves its self true I'm sure they would love it. So the problem is convincing them to try it. Any suggestions?:confused: :22:

Tell him you'll buy x number of cans if he orders some. Offer to pay half in advance as well. Then he'll know your serious about it, and no shop keeper will refuse money if you wave it under his nose.

Give them their website and tell him to look it up himself. Or you could even bring in some of the information off of their website.

What all are they carrying now?

Tell him they need to offer the best to their customers and that the pricing on NLS is more than others, yet people will be willing to buy it.

We started off with just a couple types at my work. After I was able to convince more and more people to try it we started carrying more and more. Now we have a whole shelf of just NLS and may need to get more.

Thanks guys I'll try that stuff,I'm going in today so I'll get the info off their site. Fishguy in response to your question about the food they carry I'll try to give you an answer(I havnt memorized the stock......yet) I know they carry Tetra,and Hikari for sure (because thats what I buy....lol) and they carry a bunch of other brands that I dont remember. I'm almost positive that if I can give him enough proof that its the best he'll go for it.(He is all over quality,and I can count on my fingers the questions he has not been able to answer in the three years I've been going there) Anyways thanks for the suggestions(keep them coming) keep your fingers crossed and I'll see what I can do.


PS-Hey Fishguy do you mind if I print out that thead you started and show him,it might help?
