Method 1: Utilize Your Own Resources for Shared Portable Charger Venues

Firstly, you can inventory your own resources. For example, after getting the rental power bank hardware, you can ask yourself a few questions: What industry am I in? Hotel industry, catering industry, tourism industry, or other industries? Which contacts in the industry can I use?

If you are in the hotel industry, you have likely dealt with many hotel managers, so you can start with hotels. This way, you can easily contact a large number of hotels. Since you have dealt with them before, there is a basis of trust, making negotiations easier.

Furthermore, each hotel manager also has their own hotel resources and possibly other resources. It is common for partners to recommend resources to each other, allowing you to access a new batch of resources.

Method 2: Tap into Resources Around You for Shared Portable Charger Venues

Secondly, you can look for resources around you that can be utilized. Simply put, some venues related to shared portable chargers that you can interact with in your daily life.

Think about the places you frequently visit (e.g., a restaurant you often dine at, a hair salon you frequently visit, a neighbor’s store near your home). Are any of these places suitable as venues?

Since these are places you frequently visit, you are familiar with them and know which shops have good business. More importantly, familiarity makes it easier to reach cooperation. Moreover, places you visit regularly are usually not far from your home, making it convenient to communicate operational conditions, maintain cooperation relationships, and service the power bank sharing equipment.

Method 3: Leverage Family and Friends’ Resources for More Opportunities

Next, you can inventory your relatives and friends’ resources. Do you have relatives or friends in the shared portable charger industry, the service industry, or working in government and enterprise units? If so, you can start with them. In addition to their own resources, they may also have many related resources around them that can be utilized.

4. Method 4: Use Online Tools to Identify Shared Portable Charger Venues

Then, you can use online tools to explore the general situation of various merchants in your target market and establish contact. Visiting each merchant in person is obviously too time-consuming and labor-intensive, not realistic.

However, some online tools or platforms (such as Yelp, Google Maps, TripAdvisor, The Fork, etc.) have already put various merchant information (including restaurants, hotels, attractions, shopping, entertainment, etc.) online to promote their business. On these tools, you can check merchant names, photos, addresses, detailed introductions, reviews, and generally, contact information.

We can fully utilize these tools to quickly familiarize ourselves with the distribution and operation of merchants in the target market, quickly screen them, list target merchants, contact them, and establish cooperation. Or, see if any of your contacts have connections with these target merchants. As you know, having someone to introduce you makes it easier to establish cooperation.

5. Method 5: Approach Suppliers of Target Stores for Shared Portable Charger Partnerships

In addition to using your connections and online tools to find merchant resources, you can also approach suppliers of target stores.

For example, if your target stores are restaurants, you can ask your friends who run stores or merchants you already cooperate with if they can recommend beverage suppliers. Generally, if there is no conflict of interest, the they will be willing to give you the supplier’s contact information.

These beverage suppliers usually have restaurant resources as well as many other store resources, such as KTVs, bars, nightclubs, etc. Suppliers maintain good relationships with these stores’ managers, making it easier to reach cooperation if the supplier is willing to introduce these store resources to you.

Then, how to persuade suppliers to introduce you? Generally, you can use resource exchange methods. For example, you can advertise the supplier’s beverages for free on your stations to help them attract customers. Or, if the supplier has many and high quality venue resources with a high success rate, you can consider sharing the rental income of shared portable chargers with them monthly. This way, you achieve a win-win situation, and the supplier is likely to be willing to cooperate with you.

7. Select Profitable Venues for Shared Portable Charger Cooperation

Using the above methods, you can generally find many potential partner stores. However, not all stores require 100% effort to reach cooperation, and some stores with low foot traffic may not be worth cooperating with. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully select stores with higher foot traffic and higher customer consumption levels, which generally recoup costs faster.

Generally speaking, government and enterprise units such as hospitals, train stations, airports, vehicle management offices, etc., with particularly high foot traffic, are primary targets. Entertainment venues such as nightclubs, bars, KTVs, bathhouses, etc., also have high foot traffic and high customer consumption levels, making them priority targets. Some hotels, internet cafes, cinemas, and restaurants with long queues also have good foot traffic and are considered premium venues.

Tips:

If some venues have very low foot traffic, and the monthly revenue from the stations is less than $60, the cost recovery will be so slow. If your shared portable charger business has already achieved considerable scale locally, and you hope to cover more range, it is okay to choose a small number of such venues for power bank station deployment. Otherwise, it is better not to consider them.

Conclusion

In summary, to succeed in the shared portable charger business, having high quality power bank sharing hardware and software is essential, and shared portable charger venue selection is also crucial. The 5 methods mentioned in this article can help you quickly find suitable store resources, contact the managers, and reach cooperation.
