Help You Get Started.
New to Making and/or Packaging
Products? Here are Some
Recommended Steps.
1. Before creating a profile here to
receive orders we advise that you research your product thoroughly.
Learn as
much as you can about its possible marketplace demand and potential for
repeat
sales. Understand that repeat sales is an important key to growing your
customer list because it ultimately ensures your success.
2.
You should do this before you rush out
to buy any expensive item of equipment you may require to manufacture
your
product.
3.
Ensure that your product meets federal
food manufacturing guidelines. To ensure that your sales and marketing
take off
smoothly you may wish to check out the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency’s
guidelines for food safety and good manufacturing practices on their
website.
4.
If you are a U.S. based producer
planning to profile product/s on this site we urge you to ensure your
product
meet the necessary requirements of your local and federal authorities.
5.
Write a profile for your product/s. Include all relevant information
such as
ingredients, weights, nutrition facts where applicable, pricing per
single item
and price per piece when more than one item, for example six, ten or
twelve
pieces are ordered in one purchase.
6.
Engage a graphic designer to
create attractive color labels even if
these are only samples for photography. Remember your product’s label
design,
the colors, product information and attractive packaging are hugely
important
to creating demand and determining its ultimate success.
7.
Ensure that you package and label your
products correctly so that your posted profile and product pictures
reflect
that.
8.
Be aware that your product’s quality,
taste and nutritional values all combine to determine its success and
the more
your profile captures and project these the better.
9.
Take color photographs of your products
in one of the following formats; jpeg or gif
10.
Include your email address for customer
enquiries. Include your contact tel. # so customers may contact you
directly. A
contact telephone number builds trust, gets more enquiries and grows
your
business faster.
