How to Get Product Distribution Rights?

5 replies
Dear Warriors,
My husband happens to be a Google Adwords Expert who's been freelancing his services for the past 7 years. Lately, he's been thinking about running his own adword campaigns. He actually wants to sell some products (Medicines, furniture, Antiques, pain management tools/courses etc.)

Recently, he contacted an Australian client regarding Wheatgrass products but the patent officer (in India) told him that it'd take at least a year an a half to get the distribution rights and he was not sure if we'd end getting them.

Can anyone, who's had experience selling products by getting distribution rights, share his experience? We'll appreciate your time and help.

PS: where can I find the list of the products that can be easily imported to India and sold. For example Paper can be imported from any country and sold. But Vitamin supplements can't.

    This is not a question that can be easily answered.

    I have no clue what a wheatgrass product is.

    Is that some kind of medicine?

    What is a "patient officer"?

    How long it takes to get distribution rights depends on the product and on regulations in your country.

    It can be done within a few hours or it can take years.

    I could help with finding a product that would work easily but I would need more data.

      I beg your pardon! I meant to say Patent Officer
      By the way wheat-grass products are used for healing wounds and injuries. The supplements created out of it can used as "Dietary Supplements"
      My husband actually wanted to sell wheatgrass cream that is used in healing wound, burn injuries and other similar diseases such as fissure. It is herbal and he thought it'd be easy for him to get the distribution rights in India.

      By the way, he is also looking for the opportunities in Ready-made garments for exclusive occasions such as marriage (in India) and some sports such as bike.

    It's a lot to wait, if you ask me, why not go for some affiliate commissions? Him being an expert could get him a lot of cash..

      Running PPC for Affiliate commissions won't work
      Until it is a product that you created yourself.
