What is your sales strategy? What % is e-Commerce vs Brick and Mortar? What is unique about your business?

Today, approximately 70% of my revenue comes from in-store sales and 30% from remote sales. I am planning to further develop the e-commerce side of the business this coming winter to expand my reach while maintaining a highly personalized customer experience.
What makes my business unique is both its location and its concept. It all started from a passion that naturally grew into a business. I specialize in atypical, high-end bicycles with a curated selection of brands such as Ruff Cycles, Phatfour, Kino Bikes, Ritmic, Gaya, and Jean Fourche.
Since I stopped distributing Super73 two years ago, I have been actively looking for a new premium brand that can truly elevate my offering. I place strong importance on design, originality, and user experience.
Customization is also a key part of my identity. Thanks to my partner’s expertise, we are able to offer fully personalized bikes and accessories, giving each customer a truly unique product.

Describe the size and location of your physical store and warehouse capacity.

My shop is located in the city center of Rochefort, close to the Atlantic coast. The retail space is 80 m², divided into three distinct areas: showroom, workshop, and customer reception.
I also have an additional 20 m² storage space. While the shop is intentionally small and independent, its location gives me access to a wide customer base.
Located between La Rochelle, Bordeaux, and Poitiers, my catchment area extends roughly 200 km. I also offer delivery to Paris and Toulouse through independent logistics partners.

Describe your technical ability (i.e. tools, service, repair)*Describe your technical ability (i.e. tools, service, repair)I provide maintenance and after-sales service exclusively for the bikes I sell. This allows me to ensure a high level of quality and offer a premium customer experience. Through my experience in sales, customization, and servicing of niche electric bicycles, I handle assembly, tuning, diagnostics, and technical support for all the models I distribute. I have been following your brand for a long time and would love the opportunity to test one of your bikes firsthand. Being able to purchase a unit for evaluation would allow me to properly assess its potential in my market and naturally consider distributing your products in my store going forward. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
