Hi there everyone

I have this product I am making that is sold in just about EVERY store you will ever walk into in your life (Okay maybe 80%)

I can sell this online through sales channels like amazon, etsy, ebay (Long story short suspended from them because of a relative)

For the moment they are out of the picture so my other option I see right now is paid advertising, my item is a lower ticket item and targeting my consumer base would drain capital and put me out of business

I was thinking well should I just approach retailers/independent mom & pop stores?
