Strategy
Need help determining which of your products is the "best fit" for a particular retailer? Where to begin the process of getting your product on the shelf? How to ensure that your submissions to potential retailers have the best shot at a review? Which retailers are most likely to have interest in your product?
Product Development
We can assist you with any product development needs. If your recipe has ingredients that need revising because of a particular retailer's restrictions, we can help you adjust your formula using acceptable ingredients. Our specialty is working with natural products and ingredients. Let us work with you to develop a "clean" ingredient list that would be acceptable to virtually any retail chain.
​Packaging
We have packaging expertise, and can help you choose the best packaging vehicle for your product: to promote quality, create visual appeal, and ensure placement in the right market, in the right department.
Logistics
Sometimes a customer will want you to deliver the product to the store directly or to a warehouse facility. We have experienced logistics people on our team and can assist in getting the best rates available.
SERVICES
​Nutritional and Quality Assurance Guidance
We can provide help with completing a Nutritional Fact Panel, ingredient list, and any necessary nutritional advice. We have a registered nutritionist on our team who can provide labeling guidance that meets national guidelines. We have a quality assurance expert on staff who can do a preliminary audit of your facility to ensure that your plant will pass any necessary inspections.
Ingredient Sourcing
If you are having trouble finding a "clean" buttermilk powder, need a substitute for aspartame, require natural "sprinkles" for your cupcakes, we can help. Our years of experience working to revise formulas to adhere to specific ingredient lists gives us the tools to help you succeed.
Sales​
We have established relationships with distributors and retailers and look forward to reviewing your products to determine placement and positioning in the marketplace.
