I'm developing a new, healthy beverage for kids and need help marketing to schools and institutions. I'm looking for an individual or company with expertise in this area. Anyone have any referrals or recommendations?
What kind of help are you looking for? I'm a consultant who provides contract product development services for food and beverage companies. I have extensive experience in beverage development and would be happy to chat with you about your project.
I highly recommend Paul Schlossberg of DFW Consulting; he's outstanding.
FYI, schools and institutions are very fragmented, complex, and bureaucratic systems. Given that you are an entrepreneur, you will probably be better off targeting the vend channel (good timing given higher needs for healthier, non-carbonated beverages) and/or finite sales geographies/school systems.
Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
