Fizz sim card in retail store.

Olivier R. #3666 · February 2020

Did you think fizz can offer sim card in retail store? Good idea?

Mike · February 2020

Yes it will be a good idea, Gato already had this idea

However, I do not think that this idea will go along with their idea to be 100% online.

You can have a little side business ordering a few cards at a time and offering the cards for a small surcharge in your local area. Maybe Fizz might lower the cost for a SIM card bundle, due to lower shipping costs.
Just some thoughts, but as Mike mentioned, that might not fit their business model. What would you resolve a problem with the card, or if the SIM is missing (which happened to me). Much simpler mode to order directly from Fizz.

yeah, i think is a great idea

Could be a good idea.

For now no sim cards in the retail stores.
And unfortunately, you can not order sim card in bulk and sell them, because they're linked to accounts when you buy them online.
Hope this can answer your inquiry!

I would reply the same thing as I did here :-) https://communaute.fizz.ca/questions/2225969-carte-sim-fizz-magasin

In a nutshell, I don't think this would be worth the effort and cost to have a distribution channel to retail stores on a commission based sale (for an "Impulse Purchase".

It would be a good idea...

Bell has had some success partnering with Dollarama to sell Lucky mobile. While a partnership with a dollar store would be off-brand and uncool for a tech savvy young brand like Fizz, I could see a retail presence somewhere more “hip” and perhaps a little upscale being a very good fit. What are some shops you think would work? Let’s do some Fizz market research! Maybe a decent grocery store like IGA or Metro? CoucheTard has a very good footprint and foot traffic in Quebec.

Winners or Indigo would be a cool place to find a Fizz sim.

Dollar store is already caring virgin mobile and lucky mobile sim cards

I personally like the online model. Receiving my sim card was super easy and fast.

sman · February 2020

Personally I like to have it on my door

I think Fizz’s marketing strategy of being completely online is solid and unique. Helps separate them from the rest and keeping pricing down for the consumer.
