CPS Network for Tea Importer?

teaimport · 10-11-2011, 04:47 AM

We're a tea importer and wholesaler business currently only selling to businesses, brick & mortar. Our customers are coffee shops, restaurants, and more recently whole foods type grocery stores.

The grocery stores prompted us to get into retail packaging, which we started expanding into coffee shops - so rather than just selling wholesale quantities (for making tea on site and selling it as such), we also provided packaged tea for resale.

We then started moving our wholesale ordering process to the Web for our existing business customer base (with us not selling tea directly to the general public).

We're now starting to look at selling tea to consumers directly at the retail level, online.

Any thoughts, advice, suggestions? This is a high end product, to Lipton tea what a convenience store cigar would be to a cuban cigar. Not actually expensive, but certainly a bit of a niche (you have to like good tea to be able to truly appreciate ours).

Looking at some affiliate networks too, but complete noobs on the subject.
