Social Impact Project for Marketing support for coffee exporter to US Market


Project Description and Impact

We are starting soon with selling roasted coffee to the US market. We have it roasted and packed here in Medelli­n and flown directly to Miami from where it is distributed by truck all over the US and Canada. We sell through wholesalers in different cities. But we still need to develop the brand and put it in the market. We need to develop a marketing strategy, create a website, online presence and printed promotional materials to be used by the wholesalers.
