Target, as most retailers have done, have Internet portals for new Vendors. Before you simply present your idea be sure to visit a Target store, determine where you think your product should be sold and see what other products are in that section. Then pitch you product as another option to existing products, or as a accessory, or go along product to products in the category. Specifically target products that sell well. Position your product for the buyer to give your product the best chance.
