Step 3: Choose Your Brands Wisely

Start with popular, fast-moving brands to guarantee turnover:

• Alomo Bitters – High demand across Nigeria

• Orijin Bitters – Urban appeal and strong marketing support

• 10 PRIX Black – Mass-market favourite with growing reach

• Yoyo Bitters – Ideal for health-conscious or religious consumers

Wigmore Trading helps you access verified products directly from manufacturers and importers.

Step 4: Apply as an Official Distributor

Some brands have structured distributor programs. Requirements may include:

• Minimum order quantities

• Dedicated storage facilities

• Distribution capabilities

Alternatively, work with wholesale partners like Wigmore Trading who provide flexible, bulk options without strict entry barriers.

Step 5: Set Up Storage and Logistics

Ensure you have safe, dry storage for stock and reliable delivery options. As your sales volume grows, you may need:

• Delivery vans or motorbikes

• Staff to manage inventory and distribution

Wigmore Trading offers delivery support across Nigeria, helping you distribute without needing a large fleet initially.

Step 6: Start Selling and Build Retail Networks
