It’s time to get your hands on the latest and greatest trend in alcoholic drinks – Smirnoff Ice! With Nigeria being one of the largest consumers of alcohol, it is not surprising that there are many interested parties looking for distributorships. If this is you, then read on! This post will provide information about becoming a distributor for Smirnoff Ice beer in Nigeria. We’ll also cover what to do if you’re already distributing but want more information about how to become a distributor for other brands.

We’ll lay out the steps required to turn into a licensed representative with our company as well as some insider tips from previous distributors who have gone through this process themselves.

What is Smirnoff Ice Beer?
Smirnoff Ice is the brand that Smirnoff Ice comes from and it’s really an amazing product to use as a jumping-off point for discussing the process of becoming a distributor for it. Since it’s a very successful brand, it’s a great choice for any alcoholic beverage distributor looking to diversify into another beer.

The primary ingredients for Smirnoff Ice beer are water, malt, natural flavorings, hops and vodka. Smirnoff Ice is what Smirnoff is known for, it’s the flagship vodka brand of Diageo, the parent company that also owns Smirnoff Ice, Johnnie Walker and Guinness.

How to Get a Distributorship
1. Determine How Much Time You Have

I know it sounds pretty crazy, but this step really is important. What this means is that you should know what time you will be available to work everyday and how much you’re willing to work every day.

Remember, this is not a time where you can start and stop work. Distributors are typically working seven days a week and longer.

2. Determine Your Fees

This is where a lot of people get lost. I say this because it’s not just a cost of the product, but also of the advertising and logistics involved.

All in all, it’s a lot of money. However, if you look at the overhead costs of running a business (rent, utilities, office space, etc) it is cheaper than running an online business. We’ll take care of all the logistics to make this easier for you.
