The New England's Specialty Foods
Monthly Retail Buyer's Guide
Conventional wisdom for specialty foods websites has always been, "Build It & They Will Come". If you've had one the past few years, you probably know this isn't always as true as you would hope.
Traditional sales calls to buyers of specialty foods products have always been made one at a time, limiting the amount of sales calls a small producer can make.
Most new specialty foods products do not sell as well as was hoped, once they are on store shelves.
The New England's Specialty Foods Classified Ads is being developed as a new way to solve these problems, for FREE. There are no hidden costs. Period.
This unique, local, specialty foods catalogue has great new potential for all who'd like to participate.
Each month, The New England's Specialty Foods Classified Ads will be sent to a unique, comprehensive, current database of thousands of retail specialty foods buyers all over New England, much as newsletters are being done now by trade associations, etc.. The difference here, is that this is a monthly correspondence, sent eventually to virtually all specialty food buyers in all six New England states, and will have customized marketing messages from all participating small producers, to motivate retail food buyers to order their products.
What kinds of marketing messages? For example:
* All Natural
* Coupons for Promotions
* Demos are Available
* Free Samples
* Free Shipping
* Gluten Free
* Kosher
* Low Fat
* Low Sodium
* Low Sugar
* Organic
* New Product Promotions
* Personal Service
* Point of Sale Material
* Periodic Discount Promotions
* Shelf or Rack
* Supports a Cause (name of cause)
* Volume Discounts
* Other(reason)
Why will this be of interest to specialty foods buyers? What do you think?
* Buyers are always looking for new products, and the NESF Monthly Retail Buyer's Guide will save them a lot time finding them
* Buyers are always looking for a good deal, just like anyone else, and this monthly communication will be full of vasrious types of "good deals"
* Buyers know periodic price reduction opportunities are the fuel that runs retailing, but they have seldom existed on a small scale before now. This will change things drastically, in favor of the small producer!
