Hello tyke,

 

I`m just getting started myself but here are a few ideas that I have learned along the way.  If you are looking at department stores, you can call them and ask who the buyer is for that particular department.  Once you get their name, try to contact them directly so that they can learn about your product.  As far as confidentiality, check with an attorney to see if you have any issues.  Once you are sure that any proprietary information is secure, I would say to tell anyone you can about your product.  Finally, one good way to decide what your terms and conditions should be is to look at ones from other companies.  Make sure that you choose terms and conditions that fit the way you want your company to work.  For instance, if you don`t have a lot of money don`t offer credit terms.  I hope this helps!
