What sets us apart from other like minded organizations is our “Customers First & Foremost” program that allows you to order with complete confidence as well as provide your customers with the chance to participate in today’s emerging social cause product movement – buying an affordable product while doing good.   Sales for fair trade products realized a 52% sales increase in 2004** and according to a leading news magazine “certified fair trade products are quickly becoming the new consumer buying incentive equivalent to ‘organic’ ”.  The bottom line: sales of fair traded products keep growing. 

Here are the primary elements of our “Customers First & Foremost” program:

• Within each host producing country we have staff that visually inspects all products to make certain that they are of the highest quality before being released for transport to the United States.

• Our products use only real flowers and other natural plant materials that have been harvested in an environmentally sound manner.
• We collaborate with in-country artists and designers to insure that all products we produce are recognized to be culturally correct.
• Our products are packaged to accommodate local US retail requirements with standardized UPC barcodes.  For note card products we use unique tamper proof packaging.
• We have created a trade price program that translates into a very affordable consumer price to foster turnover and increased sales.

All this means that you can be assured of the finest products at the most attractive pricing.
