Form Strategic Partnerships

Networking

Look for companies that are complementary to your own to potentially expand your contract. For example, if you offer catering services, you can partner with a venue. 

Attending food conferences/conventions and participating in local food events are great ways to get the word out about your company while also connecting with individuals who may be able to help grow your business. For example, Expo East is a convention held annually in Philadelphia, where you can connect with other food entrepreneurs who value natural and sustainable food solutions.

Consider becoming a member of the following organizations that are applicable to you and attending any events or shows that they host:

Upcycled Food Association

Specialty Food Association

National Restaurant Association

American Culinary Federation

Licensing Deals

Consider licensing your product to others and sharing the revenue.

Franchise Model

As your business becomes more successful, consider a franchise model to grow and expand your reach.

Say something great happens.
