ABOUT US

Founded in 1994 Capri & Associates is an aggressive sales and marketing group with offices in Yardley, Pennsylvania and Hoboken, New Jersey. Our team consists of an inside/outside sales force with over 50 years combined experience in food service packaging.

OUR GEOGRAPHY

We cover the Metro New York area, spanning from Trenton, NJ to Southern Connecticut. Although our territory can be defined on a map, our strong relationship with clients and their referrals often lead us outside of the metro area to other locations where a national account is located.

WHAT WE DO

We work together with our manufacturers to become proficient in selling their value added products to our large end user and distributor accounts. We implement our seven step sales strategy to bring opportunities to fruition quickly.

1. Identify Identify the potential customer.

2. Research Research the current packaging with in store observations, menu analysis, and customers competition.

3. Appointment Secure the appointment.

4. Suggestions Present suggestions with customer’s food in new packaging; incorporate live re-plating with side by side comparisons.

5. Pricing Establish pricing program.

6. Testing Schedule and participate in testing at key locations.

7. Roll Out Schedule and participate in roll out of new product and in-store training.
