Some companies spend thousands of dollars a year on gifts, employee perks, and sales rewards. Most of it goes to stuff nobody remembers — branded mugs, gift cards, a fruit basket from a catalog. You raise something better: real food, from a real family farm, with a story behind it. This program helps you sell your beef to those companies — in bigger orders than retail, at prices you set.
You're not cold-calling to beg. (Cold outreach just means reaching out to someone who isn't expecting to hear from you.) You're offering a better version of something they already buy.
The three doors in
Pick the one that fits you and start there.
- Holiday & client gifts. A holiday beef box (say, $55) replaces a forgettable gift basket and makes them look thoughtful.
- Employee perks. A quarter-beef share or a box of steaks as a year-end bonus or wellness perk — a perk people actually talk about at home.
- Sales incentives & rewards. "Hit your number this quarter, get a case of our ground beef." A memorable prize beats another gift card.
Why companies say yes
- The money is already budgeted. HR, marketing, and office managers have gift and perk budgets that get spent every year. You're giving them a better place to spend money they're already spending.
- It makes the giver look good. "Locally raised, from a family farm up the road" is a story a gift card can't tell.
- You make it easy. One person, one invoice, you handle delivery.
Why it's good for your farm
- Bigger orders — one company can be thirty boxes. A thirty-person office buying $55 boxes is one ~$1,650 order.
- You can plan for it — holiday programs are predictable.
- Better margin than wholesale — you set program pricing.
- It comes back — a company that loved this year's boxes calls you first next year.
If hitting send makes your stomach turn, that's normal and it fades fast. You're not selling, you're telling. The worst that happens is "no thanks," and that costs you nothing.
