Gift shops and home stores to stock my products
Independent gift and home stores graded as stockists, in a sheet every week.
What it does
Every Monday: independent gift shops and home goods stores in your city, the new ones only, graded by Jev as stockists for a small home and gift brand, the best 20 added to your wholesale sheet and emailed.
In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, in Melbourne, find gift shops and home goods stores in the area, keep only new ones, decide with Jev, sort them by stockist_score and keep the top 20, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Gift and home shops buy from small brands to stand out from the chains. A graded list each week shows which to call first.

The time it saves
Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 60 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 4 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.
