Selling into France
Do not size for cafes and coffee shops
Cafes and coffee shops are a smaller part of France than elsewhere; plan the pitch around the outlet types that lead here.
Check social profiles
Outlets in France link an Instagram account more often than elsewhere; their posts show menus, events and brands on display.
Plan beyond the big cities
Most outlets in France sit outside its largest metro areas, so a plan that stops at the big cities leaves most doors uncovered.
