Selling a socket set in Saguenay
Saguenay sits on a genuine fjord in the north of the province, built around aluminium smelting that runs on local hydroelectricity. It is a francophone city almost entirely, it is a long way from anywhere larger, and its winters are among the coldest in the populated part of the country.
Industrial employment moves households on contract cycles, and the isolation means goods circulate locally for a long time rather than being shipped out. Winter equipment turns over reliably every season.
The city was amalgamated from separate towns that are a real distance apart, so agree which one. Winter is long and severe here, so a daylight time and a weather fallback are both sensible from November onwards.
Saguenay, in Quebec, has around 145,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Montreal, Quebec City and Laval are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
