When negotiating to get a product into stores, the major thing you need to keep in mind is what the advantage is for them. Why should they purchase your product? Just the idea that "it\'ll make you money," won\'t cut it. Do your research and figure out how many parents would like to keep a baby journal but don\'t have the time. Try selling direct at parenting classes, children gyms, and similar places (always with permission from the location, of course) to give these boutiques an idea of how in demand your product would be. Having knowledge of your product and unique "out of the box" placements will make any negotiation easier, especially if you know how it will benefit the other person.
