There are thousands of bottled water distributors worldwide. Gas stations, convenience stores, drug stores, food franchises, and grocery stores alike are all distributors of bottled water.

Gas stations, drug stores, and convenience stores sell bottled water individually in all sizes from small to large. Depending on the location, some bottled water distributors sell a wide array of brands, and some do not.

Bottled water distributors that sell the widest range of brands are the better retailers. Most people have a specific brand of water that they stick to as their favourite, and it can be rather inconvenient when a particular distributor does not have a preferred brand of water. This is due to the fact that there is a distinct difference in taste between some water, and the lesser well-known brands tend not to taste as good, leaving a metallic aftertaste in your mouth.

More importantly, though, are the bottled water distributors that sell water in bulk. For a person that enjoys bringing a bottle of water to work with them, or to school, or simply just to run errands, it is much cheaper and more cost-effective to buy bottled water in bulk from a grocery store, or better yet – Costco or Sam’s Club.

Generally speaking, as a bottled water distributor, you want to sell the water that has the most competitive price. Unless you’re specialty store, it would be unwise to sell imported water in fancy glass bottles, no matter how delicious. People just want to spend a quick buck to quench their thirst; they don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on an over-the-top bottle of water.

Always remember as a bottled water distributor to stay stocked with water. When a customer walks in, they want to see a vast array of options and full quantities of it. It makes the water look more appealing, and in turn, they may buy more than one bottle or carton. If you’re store is running low on stock, they may save some for the next customer.

In addition, make the prices of the different competitors clearly noticeable for your customer. That enables them to make a quick decision based on the look of the water bottle, but also the price. The best-designed water bottle label matched with the most competitive price, is the bottle of water that is sure to sell out.

Follow these tips as a bottled water distributor, and you will be sure to maximize your profit, and keep your customers happy. Just remember to carry a large supply of water bottles in several different sizes, always stay stocked with water bottles, and clearly outline the price of each water bottle for matters of competition. If possible, you want to carry cartons of water bottles in bulk and offer special deals every one in a while and advertise these deals – customers will then begin to look to your distributor first when they want to purchase bottled water.
