I am looking for retail stores in the tourist areas of Florida -
Orlando, Naples/Marco Island, Ft. Myers, Clearwater, Florida Keys, Ft.
Lauderdale, Tampa, Bonita Springs, Sarasota/Siesta Keys, Daytona
Beach, etc., that would be good prospects to pitch our line of
trademarked shirts and products.  Most of our products can be seen at
our website: www.monkbiz.com. We are seeking to wholesale our product
to these stores. Our main customer is teenagers through college age
with a subset of grandparents buying for their grandkids.

The ideal store would be one that caters to the teen crowd but does
NOT carry the offensive or raunchy titles that are prevelant, i.e.,
Big Johnson, Coed Naked, etc.  We would NOT be looking for operations
such as Wings/Winds or Sunsations. Small chains would be ideal. Our
product would do best in a store that is not readily identified as a
"cheap" or "discount" operation, i.e., 3 shirts for $10. Stores MUST
be located in high traffic tourist areas.

To answer this question I will need:

Store Name and full address (or chain headquarters)
Phone Number
Buyer/Manager/Owner Name
Basic qualifying information - Why this operation would be a good fit.

Hello headmonk,

I was able to get a few solid contacts. However I need clarification
of the following :

 - How much ( how many ) information are you looking for?

 - Do you need a massive list, or just a few to get you started?

Thanks in advance -

SgtCory

I am looking for the 3 to 4 best prospects in each major tourist
market.  I am looking for prospects in every tourist market in
Florida.  However, I would just be placing product in one store per
market.  It will be necessary to pitch multiple prospects in each
market to get one that will carry line, however.

I would be sending a Sales Packet to each prospect with a phone follow
up so I am not intending to "blanket mail" to a massive list. HM

Hello headmonk,

I have attempted to to search for shops for you.  I am having only a
certain amount of luck.

How important is the name of an individual for each store?  Would you
be happy with names, address, phone numbers of each store with some
kind of description of what they themselves sell?  In many cases, that
information will be able to be viewed on line.

Let me know if this will work for you.

thanks
pba

Peggy - If buyer or owner's name is not available BUT types of
products and brands that they carry is, I could do without names
(although definitely prefer if you can get).  I need data that will
allow me to narrow down my prospects to the best ones: quality, family
oriented store that carrys products that appeal to teenagers -
preferably clothing.
