Hi guys, i run a small record shop. We sell Vinyl, CDs, DVDs etc... and some instrument accessories like guitar strings/straps/capos etc...

We currently get most of our stock from amazon/ebay and are looking to get stuff from distributors for a much cheaper price. However, when we try to contact these sorts of companies we always get ignored. For instance, we're trying to get Ernie Ball strings at a price we can actually make money on them. We have tried contacting them through their website but never get any response. A typical opening message to them from us would be along the lines of:

"Hey guys, we're a small retailer in xxx town who have been selling your products after having a huge demand for them in our area. We've previously been buying them through ebay/amazon but are now looking to get a more direct and cheaper supply to provide a better price and more consistent stock to our customers. Are there any distributors in our area that could help us out or do you sell them directly also? Would be a huge help if you could provide us with some info. Hope to hear back :)"

Are we doing/saying something wrong here? Surely a manufacturer would help us out finding distributors. Also, why the fuck are distributors so hard to find?
