Nigerian Wholesaler, what’s your potential annual earnings? Do you know how many Nigerians are currently purchasing 7UP products in Nigeria? This blog post will help you become a distributor for 7UP. You’ll need to contact the Nigerian Bottling Company Ltd., but first read this post to see if it is right for you!

Potential Earnings
There’s a serious lack of people in Nigeria buying 7UP products. This is due to the product being unpopular and being difficult to buy because it’s not stocked in Nigeria’s major supermarkets. We will help you understand why.

By the way, 7UP was founded in Africa way back in 1952. It was first sold in Nigeria in 1957, though it wasn’t until the late 1960s that it became hugely popular in the country. People have always believed that it is a premium brand. People still buy it for its taste and shelf life. However, the popularity of the brand has declined.

Why is it difficult to buy 7UP in Nigeria?

For starters, 7UP is not stocked in the major supermarkets in Nigeria. It’s not stocked in the standard sized supermarket in Lagos. It’s stocked in two smaller supermarkets.

How to become a 7UP distributor in Nigeria
There are two ways of becoming a distributor for 7UP. The first way is by networking; it’s my preferred way. I have managed to build a network of friends in my local area, and even outside it. They like their brand, and they love to drink our products. We don’t drink very much, but we do a little.

With their help, you’ll be able to sell your brand to the market. You’ll need to supply them a small amount of your product every week (maybe 10-20 bottles). Your profits will be good, as you will be producing at a high rate. You might even be able to sell some of your business to your friends!

In my experience, Nigerian Wholesalers spend about N30,000 per month for a 7UP distributorship.

I’m also a distributor for Omo detergent and must use the same pack for everyday use.

Their business looks pretty similar, and their primary objective is to create and sell 7UP products to the Nigerian public.
