Hello, I am a family man running a family business. Whether I have provided a service or product, I stood behind my business. Throughout my career, I sought after business opportunities that were fruitful and beneficial to my customers’ life. Although my prior businesses were fulfilling, Yo Pitts! brings everything into play.
I am a passionate foodie, a health conscience and innovative individual. As I grew older, I realized that I could no longer eat the way I used to due to preservatives and additives.
The above realization sat in the back of my mind for a while. It was forefront when working on my patented All-Natural Multi-functional soap. While sourcing ingredients, I was intrigued by the phenomenal smells and tastes I indulged in during my visits to farms in upstate NY. I had an epiphany when I tasted several jams. It came to me like the sun parting through cloudy skies:
This journey has led me to these experiences to tap into my inner foodie. I thought, I could create flavorful and healthy spreads/condiments to make good food taste delightful. At that moment my condiment line was created.
As my journey continued, I achieved a bit of the impossible. I established the condiment line and began making strides. My passion and drive has led me to my present position (great products, website, inventory, some distribution, in-store placements). Now, I am reaching out to everyone who likes tasty foods. To move forward with, Yo Pitts! and distribute our products to more consumers, we need funding. Everyone that has tried our products, claims our condiments to be their favorite. I am now reaching out to those people and especially people who haven’t tasted our ketchup and mustard. So, we thank you in advance for your contribution to something great! Choose a perk now that fits your level of passion for food or for great products!
Whether you are hosting a family BBQ,dinner party or golfing event, our brand has the right additions to liven up your gathering. We have various packages available for any event or reception. Come eat with us!
What We Need & What You Get
Our Ask…
Our ask is simple: We need funding to expand! We have made it to this point on an aglet budget. An aglet (AG-lət) is a small sheath, often made of plastic or metal, used on each end of a shoelace. Therefore, after flourishing with what we had financially, with less than a shoestring budget, it’s time to expand. Our demand has increased and customer satisfaction, we are ready to take Yo Pitts! on a national platform Our financial prowess is stellar and we have this planned out extensively.
We are aggressively expanding our reach with orders (local and online), new stores and restaurants as well as events. We need to get our products out there.
(40%) Transportation – we are looking to purchase our first vehicle:
The Yo Pitts! Food Truck
Once we have the fund to purchase one, wave when you see us because we are either delivering to a store, restaurant, customer or our charity work at food banks.
We’ve received outstanding reviews from our customers, but we need to let everyone else know about us. We tried shouting from rooftops and street corners. We decided to partner up with a marketing company and we created a plan to gain more exposure nationwide.
(30%) Marketing – we are planning a nationwide campaign with deep hyper-local segments using digital, mobile, TV, radio and some OOH.
We may be looking to possibly feature some of our customers for a more personable approach.
As things progress, our production workload will increase. With that being said, we need to expand in several areas. We are also facilitating more wedding favors and events. We are building out our fundraising business for schools and other organizations.
(30%) Expansion– We are looking to increase production, our wedding/event channel and our fundraising channel.
Quotes from the family:
Mom – “I believe in you but this better be good!”
Sister – “You got this, older brother!”
Wife – “You can do it, baby. Better let me check it out though”
Daughter – “Hey Dad, what is this stuff? It’s good!”
Our perks represent a lifestyle that incorporates many different aspects of tastes and touches all. We selected a few lifestyles, but whatever your lifestyle is Yo Pitts!, can be part of it.
If we raise funds above our goal, we will roll out our ON THE GO initiative. ON THE GO will include a mobile and a snack pack.
The mobile app will include:
- Where to buy our products.
- What foods our flavors go with (through science)
- What beverages pair with our flavors
- Recipes
- Games
All on the GO!
Also we are in the development stages of creating a snack pack. We desire to produce a snack pack that is healthy and tasty on the GO!
We don’t imagine for one minute that this will be easy – it hasn’t been so far. However, the tasty products we produce and passion we have for the healthy goodness pushes us. The tremendous amount of business insight and support I have is a true blessing.
Now, this is where YOU - the reader comes in.
If you can purchase a perk, no matter what level, it is appreciated.
Every small drop of water helps to fill even the biggest of buckets! -TP (that’s me)
