I have an excellent, new product range covering special dietary needs. 24 million people in America have diabetes and 1 in 180 are gluten intolerant. My dessert range offers a new approach to exsisting favourites. Removing sugar and gluten... but not taste or texture. Winning formulas will be the wave of the future...

I have the products. I have a contract manufacture capable of major production... enough for multiple supermarket chains. Now I need assistance with marketing and strategies. (and possibly a dollar or two).

Any advise or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Brigid! Welcome to SuN!

There are a few folks here that are already sucessfully marketing gluten-free products, so you may want to repost this with a title something like: "Marketing advice needed for gluten free, sugar free product" to get their attention.

Also, I have had great success with my SCORE mentor, so if you haven`t already, go to SCORE.org to find a local retired executive that will volunteer to mentor you.

I hope this is helpful and Best of luck to you!

Been there. Done that. Developing sugar free, low fat, high protein gluten and casien free foods -- my hats off to you! I found that the regulatory requirements, packaging and marketing costs were prohibitive re: making a profit with gluten free goods - finding a sensitive facility is a huge part of the picture... but I see that these types of facilities are becoming more abundant as time move forward. I hope you have found a good business model. You have my interest... do you have a website? At a minimum, you may have found a new customer or two out here:) Looking forward to trying your product(s).
