Customer Driven Delivery Capitalize on a proven customer-first delivery ethos and flexible routing to win distribution deals with local grocers, restaurants, and institutions that require reliable restocking. Highlight capabilities such as last-minute route changes and Cedar Crest’s willingness to host promotion events like free ice cream days to drive trial and repeat orders.

Local Partner Promotions Target local retailers and event organizers for co-branded promotions and private-label opportunities, leveraging relationships with customers and suppliers to secure shelf space and favorable terms. Propose pilots for seasonal flavors or exclusive SKUs to differentiate partners and increase order frequency.

Private Label Potential Explore private-label manufacturing or co-packing for regional chains seeking trusted dairy desserts. Cedar Crest’s Michigan footprint and lean team could support scalable production and reliable delivery across multiple channels.

Digital Logistics Enablement Enhance sales efficiency with a digital ordering and delivery management channel built on existing tools such as Google Maps, Microsoft 365 and Bootstrap. A customer portal and real-time delivery tracking can boost conversion, improve onboarding, and reduce order friction for new customers.

Regional Expansion Readiness Leverage the current regional base to plan a phased geographic expansion, enabling replication of the service model in nearby markets and potential SKU expansion to capture additional dairy dessert categories.
