Longbottom's Wholesale Program
What's In It For You?
Longbottom Coffee offers one of the most extensive lines available. From our value priced standard list, to our showcased Baccellieri Caffé Arrostito Espressos and Café Equitas Shade Grown 100% Certified Organic Coffees, we have the coffee to fulfill your every need. We are happy to blend to your specifications in minimum purchase quantities. Any of our coffees or espressos can be private labelled or we can create a blend for you. We want to be your complete coffee roaster.
- Quality - Longbottom uses only the finest high grade arabica beans. There are less expensive arabicas on the market, but we refuse to lessen the quality of beans that go into your products. We do not use robusta beans in any of our products. Taste test our coffees. We believe they are the very best you will find. We know your customers will agree.
- Freshness - Quality beans are no good if they are too old. The Longbottom logo ensures that you are receiving the very freshest bean. Clipper ships were the 18-wheelers of the New World and the Longbottom ships were the very fastest of these. Longbottom was built on that standard of fast response and freshness. Orders are "Freshness Dated" for your assurance and inventory control. We want your customers to enjoy the freshest coffee possible!
- Service - Order by noon and your Federal Express order will ship that same day (Monday - Thursday). Metro orders in by 3:00 p.m. (deadline may change during the holiday season) will be delivered the next day. Problems? Call us! We'll do whatever we can to help. Our sales people stand ready to assist you with extensive sales and marketing tools, seminars, training aids and business advice. We stress doing "Right Things" as well as doing "Things Right" to assist you in selling our coffees. Your success is important to us!
- Column Pricing - The more you buy, the lower the price. Longbottom sets discounts based on volume breaks that give you a competitive edge.
