What we do
From the first buyer meeting to in-store execution, we carry your line as if it were our own.
Retailer prospecting, buyer presentations, listing negotiations and growing volume on your existing accounts.
Shelf placement, planograms, display builds, out-of-stock management and rotation — your products seen, well placed and available.
A dedicated point of contact for your major banners: joint business plans, quarterly reviews and rigorous follow-up.
Sales-data analysis, assortment recommendations and pricing strategy to position your line as a category leader.
International brands or new-to-Canada lines: we build your launch plan, from positioning to first purchase order.
Flyer planning, seasonal promotions, demos and in-store execution to maximize conversion.
Why Agence Quest
Decades of contacts inside the buying offices of the major banners. We don't cold-call — we book meetings.
Reps in the regions, in the aisles, who see your products on the shelf — not just numbers in a report.
Clear sales reporting, category-trend reads and concrete recommendations every cycle.
A team that speaks your customers' language in Quebec and across English Canada, with consistent execution everywhere.

"In eighteen months, Quest got our line listed in three major banners where we'd hit a wall for years. They simply know the buyers."
Marie-Claude Bélanger
VP Sales, food manufacturer
"As a foreign brand we had zero presence in Canada. The Quest team built the entire market-entry plan and delivered our first national purchase order."
David Sanchez
Export Director, wellness products
"Field merchandising makes all the difference. Our out-of-stocks dropped and our facings doubled. We finally see our products well presented in-store."
Julie Tremblay
Senior Director, consumer goods
