Is this Good Luck or.....

Postby Classic Finn » Fri Jan 19, 2007 1:11 pm

Okay I was looking for Kreg Pocket Jigs left and right ... and wanting to purchase one .... soooo I looked around the internet ... well I ordered the
Jig and also along with it came an offer to become a Dealer here in Reindeerland since there is no one to Represent Kreg...

So Shortly I,ll be an Official Kreg Dealer...funny thing is I got 2 customers forwarded to me already... Cool in my opinion to do this on the side.. I was surprised ...

No one sells the Kreg Tools here so we thought to jump at the chance..

Yep, it's always nice when someone has a working knowledge of the products they sell.

Good luck, hope it takes off for you. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

O.K. Heiki... let's see what kind of a salesman you are. Go around to the purchasind Departments of all your big hardware and woodworking stores and SELL them on the idea of the Kreg. Get them to order a few cases... and then get Kreg to send it to the stores...... You collect commission without even touching the product!!! :thumbsup:

Classic Finn,

It sounds like a good venture, especially if the company is propossing to set you up as a dealer. In time, you could expand this to other countries in your part of the world and who knows.....could end up being a profitable sideline business for you.
To take this line of thought a little further.....you might even be able to become a teardrop parts supplier for your area of the world, or perhaps even a teardrop manufacturer. The potential to build a business on this is a viable option for you, well worth researching. And I'm sure that the teardrop manufacturers and suppliers here on this board would help you out with the wisdom and inside details of running this kind of business.

Best Regards,
Ron

Hello Ron and Greetings from Finland. From what Ive seen of the Kreg Jig its is really handy... and also from the nice work that the folks here have done with it and the ease of it...

I,ll have my set come next week and I,ll get to try it out for the 1st time
myself...ought to be interesting. Its such of a small market in our country
but so far its not being advertised anywhere... A similar tool is here but its only a small piece of what Kreg has with its accessories..

As far as the Teardrop Parts go... It could be a chance to do somthing with it .. Ive thought about the Teardrop Tours here throughout Finland and Scandinavia ever so often ... Ideas have been running wild indeed..

And yes the folks here are great in ever so many ways.. I just have to get the beauracracy off my neck with our own tear and we,ll see how the interest kicks in when they see ours...

But I think the Teardrop will be a "Magnet" or Attention Getter for certain.... Then too I can have some unique items to sell them after they are lured... :lol: :lol:

A Kreg anyone??? :lol: :lol: :)

At least if nothing else, we,ll have fun.. :thumbsup: ;)

Best wishes

You know that we all rave about the pocket screws. I'm shure that there is a market for them in Reindeerland. Go for it! Take a Leave of Absence for a month or 2, get some clients, and sit back and collect your comission.

Ohhhh Boyyyy - Im just wondering as to why it hasnt been marketed here or is it such a "New" thing??? :thinking: :thinking:

I,ll give it a go... :D 8) 8)

Classic Finn,

I'm looking forward to a "users report" after you get to try out your new toy.
I used one on my tear and loved it!!!! This was the first time I had used one and was extreamly pleased with the outcome. Once you get to use it you will have a new realization that this is a tool that will be very marketable for you.
Please keep us updated.

Yes....most businesses either frame their first dollar made, or just pin it to the wall.

There is also different lengths of screws, depending on the thickness of the wood you are drilling into.
