Do you find yourself wishing you could discover incredibly unique, amazingly delicious sustainably produced foods for retail sales, gifts, and events you’re putting together? Well, now you can!
What I Do for Clients
As your good food concierge I take an old-fashioned high involvement approach to bridge the gap between the food producers and people seeking food that will WOW your customers, clients and gift recipients. My commitment is straightforward goodness: I never recommend products simply because they’re my clients or friends.
- Source products to fit your needs: Whether you’re a buyer, have buyers, or need someone out there searching, you can count on me to make you aware of interesting new products to keep your own offerings fresh and compelling.
- Create custom products: Based on my many connections I can have completely new flavors or products developed with small batch, artisan flair. No garden variety private label here.
- Brainstorm merchandising ideas for holidays and all occasions, as well as signage to tell the stories and sell. Through my personal connections to food producers I often know the story behind the story…and if I don’t, I enjoy digging into it.
I love getting new products -- even produce varieties -- into the hands of the most special specialty buyers. And helping the producers get famous in the process.
My Experience and Passion
While working very closely to help customers find, customize, and buy food gifts, as Food Artisan Relations Manager at Foodzie, I realized this is one thing I really really really love. And I’m good at.
“Susie, one final, big THANK YOU for all of your help, and your “fantasticness” on this project. It’s been a huge success for the company, and you made my job SO much easier.”
How It Works
The process will vary depending on the project of course, but the basic idea is this:
- Contact me with your needs. We’ll discuss budget, dates, goals…the style, type of food, location (if you want more local food), private labeling etc.
- I’ll work with a number of amazing small food producers to find the best options, determine if they fit the budget and timeframe – in short if it’s a good match.
- You’ll get to sample of course!
- Once it’s all settled we work out the details of delivery to you, payment etc. (I am not a gift basket maker / gift maker and hope to work with such businesses!)
- I follow up to make sure everything is better than A-ok!
