Wholesale and Private Labeling
Wholesale and Private Labeling are important aspects of UTW's business model. We understand the size of the tea and herbal market and know that various establishments and marketing ideas can provide unique sales and distribution outlets in ways UTW and our brands simply cannot. We actively promote sharing our teas with partners as diverse as restaurants, retail outlets, schools, hotels, community groups, social clubs, cafes, and spas.
The relationship creates a value added engine. Wholesalers and Private Labeling entities purchase our products and resell them under UTW brands or under their own label, adding their unique twist to the products and related services. Our goal is to promote wellness through our lifestyle teas, and we cannot do it alone!
The value added by our wholsalers and private labeling entities is significant. For example:
* Hotels provide high quality loose leaf tea to guests in rooms, room service, spas and restaurants.
* Restaurants complement high quality meals with equally delicious fine tea either as iced tea or after dinner hot tea.
* Retail/grocery outlets present quality tea products in an attractive and convenient display.
* Tea rooms, coffee bars and cafes add tasty food and comfortable surroundings to the tea experience.
* Spas and salons supplement their wellness ambience with the aromas and calming effects of tea and herbal infusions.
The profit margins for such a simple product are impressive. For example, a starter package running USD$99 will yield upwards of $1100 at $1.50 per cup! A Brazilian cafe whom we export teas to has reported a steady increase in sales at a staggering USD$2.50 per cup, and this is in a traditionally coffee drinking culture. The success has been so substantial that they are now launching their own wellness tea product line as a private labeling customer. Regardless of your overhead, UTW's wholesale and private labeling options promote quick and consistent investment vs. return margins.
UTW provides the highest quality, best tasting wellness teas on the market attracting diverse wholesalers and fostering customer loyalty to the wholesaler. Consistent product quality, support services, and volume pricing are crucial and UTW's devout attention to detail allows our wholesalers to focus on their specific value added role in the relationship.
At UTW, the customer is king. Providing our wholesalers with dedicated customer support offers the benefit of a dedicated representative to help with orders, track shipments, provide billing support, product information etc. This aspect of customer service creates long term relationship benefiting both UTW and our wholesalers.
As an integral part of a long term relationship UTW offers our wholesalers multiple-tier wholesale pricing. Aggressive pricing provides the wholesaler greater profits through larger volume based discounts. UTW offers auto-adjusting price levels that reward higher volumes from our wholesalers in real time and wholesale status indicators that remind our wholesalers when it is getting close to the next wholesale level. Our state of the art e-commerce site provide automatic retrieval of past orders that save the wholesaler significant time when re-ordering. In addition, the site can support auto recurring shipments that save time and effort and avoids ordering errors. Also, our comprehensive order history database on the UTW website is an attractive option because this feature avoids ordering and billing confusion. Finally, UTW can offer unlimited shipping locations per order and single point of billing for multiple locations.
The wholesaler/private labeling affiliation with UTW is very important because of the value added nature of our relationship. A total package of services that support the wholesaler will pay dividends in the future.
A variety of companies are actively pushing tea and it is a safe bet that the market for healthy beverages will continue to grow. If your company wants to capture this reality and put its own brand out there, UTW is eager to assist you with all of your wholesale and private labeling needs.
