May Newsletter - exciting announcements and accomplishments
May 2nd, 2007
What have we been up to?
The first 4 months of 2007 have been extremely busy and productive for Gourmet Business Solutions and our clients. Here are a few of our more recent exciting accomplishments:
New online wholesale ordering service – we are now offering state of the art wholesale ordering websites for gourmet food companies. With our online wholesale ordering system, your wholesale products are listed online with prices unavailable to the public until an online trade application has been submitted and approved first. Once a buyer has been approved, they will have access to your wholesale pricing and online ordering capabilities such as credit card orders and online invoicing. Not only can your wholesale ordering site attract new retail buyers, but it will give your sales team additional sales tools, convenience and professionalism. Best of all, our wholesale ordering platforms are very cost-effective and will integrate directly into most existing websites. Contact us for more information.
Forum growth – Our Gourmet Business Forum, the first and only online community for members of the Gourmet Food Industry, has grown significantly in the past 120 days. We are now at nearly 180 members and over 400 articles. If you haven’t already joined, take a moment to do so. Membership is free and takes roughly 60 seconds to apply. Are you looking to attract new retailers, distributors, and brokers? We have special advertising rates available. Contact Forum Management for more information.
Website redesign – We recently overhauled our company website using new software to enhance our online visibility and to improve ease of use.
iBuyGourmet.com – We launched a new online retail venture, iBuyGourmet.com. We are actively seeking new products to be featured on this platform and have a very reasonable commission structure in place. If you are looking for additional online retail channels to sell your products, let us know! Between now and May 31 2007, we are offering NO setup fee (up to 20 products) for approved vendors! Contact us for more information.
Expo West 2007 - We exhibited at the Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, CA March 9-11 with one of our clients, Honey Creek Farms. The show was a tremendous success and is highly recommended for emerging food companies. Honey Creek Farms used the show as a launching pad for their new Honey Balsamic Vinegar, which was an enormous hit!
