Lead Generation Assistant for Store Advertising

I need a lead generation and outreach assistant for a real business project. We run a high-traffic liquor/convenience store in Laguna Beach, California. The store does around $1.4M-$1.5M per year in revenue and gets strong daily foot traffic from beach visitors, tourists, locals, gym customers, nightlife customers, and people buying drinks, snacks, alcohol, and grab-and-go items. We are offering limited 30-day featured product placement opportunities to beverage, snack, and alcohol brands. This can include cooler placement, counter displays, shelf placement, endcap displays, or featured product trials. I am not only looking for a basic lead list. I need someone who can help find qualified brands, contact them professionally, follow up, and get interested replies. I will handle the closing and pricing conversations myself. Your job: 1. Find real verified beverage, snack, and alcohol brands that fit our store 2. Find the best contact method for each brand 3. Find founder, sales, partnership, wholesale, retail, or distributor contacts when publicly available 4. Send short personalized outreach messages 5. Follow up professionally 6. Track everything in a Google Sheet 7. Mark any interested replies or brands asking for details, pricing, photos, or a call Target categories: Energy drinks, hydration drinks, coconut water, functional beverages, protein drinks, canned coffee, teas, wellness shots, electrolyte products, snacks, chips, popcorn, puffs, candy, jerky, better-for-you convenience products, ready-to-drink beverages, tequila brands, vodka brands, whiskey brands, canned cocktails, hard seltzers, wine brands, and local California alcohol brands. Important: For non-alcohol brands, we may discuss paid featured placement opportunities. For alcohol brands, only contact them for vendor, sales, distributor, or wholesale conversations first. Do not make legal claims or assume paid alcohol placement is allowed. Avoid huge corporate brands like Coke, Pepsi, Red Bull, Monster, Gatorade, Hershey, Mars, Frito-Lay, Budweiser, Coors, Truly, White Claw, Tito’s, Jack Daniel’s, and Casamigos. The best leads are smaller growing brands, especially California or West Coast brands, with real packaging, active social media, and products that fit a Laguna Beach liquor/convenience store. Deliverable for the first test: - 25 verified leads - outreach sent to each lead - follow-up plan - Google Sheet tracker - interested replies clearly marked Each lead must include: Brand name Category Alcohol or non-alcohol Official website Instagram/TikTok Contact email or contact form Wholesale/retail/distributor page if available Founder/sales/partnership/wholesale/retail/distributor contact if public Outreach status Reply status Why the brand fits our store Lead score 1-5 Notes This is a professional business project. I do not want fake emails, guessed websites, scraped junk, random companies, AI filler, or generic Google leads. Before I award the project, please explain your outreach process and send 3 sample leads in the format above.
