How Can You Create a Special Coffee Blend With Dripshipper?
Ever wanted to sell coffee with your name on it? Thanks to Dripshipper, you can. No holding of inventory, no roasting beans, nothing. I’ll show you how.
This guide takes a deep dive into the process, stats and tools you’ll need to make a stand out coffee blend. Let’s get started.
Why Dripshipper is Your Best Bet for Coffee Entrepreneurship
I’ve been obsessed with private-label businesses for years. They’re simple but powerful. Dripshipper goes one better, they make coffee entrepreneurship simple. Here’s why:
- No inventory hassle: Sell one bag at a time.
- Branding: Customize your coffee to fit your brand.
Let me go through that with you, step-by-step.
Key Steps to Create Your Special Coffee Blend
Making a custom coffee blend with Dripshipper is actually quite easy. Here’s how I would do it if I were beginning today:
Step 1: Sign Up and Integrate with Your Store
First things first—sign up. Dripshipper is compatible with Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce and BigCommerce.
I love this, because it means you don’t have to be a techie to get up and running. You can easily install the app, then link up your store and boom—you’re good to go.
The installation will await you for 20 minutes. Seriously, it’s that fast.
I would strongly benefit from that integration. Dripshipper makes it easy, whether you’re launching a new store or making updates to one you already have.
Step 2: Customize Your Brand and Packaging
This is where the fun begins. You can add your logo (preferably 1500×1500 pixels and on a transparent background) and choose from multiple label templates. Each type of coffee and size requires its own label to be in compliance with FDA regulations. Sounds boring, but trust me — it’s worth it.
The packaging choices for Dripshipper are beautiful. They allow you to create the illusion of a premium customer experience.
“Someone gets your coffee, it should feel like they’re opening something special. That’s how you build loyalty.
Step 3: Select and Create Your Coffee Blend
And now for the fun part — selecting your coffee. Dripshipper has upwards of 40 of these blends and flavors available.
There are a variety of options available including single-origin coffees, bold flavors, sweet flavors and more. Here are some examples:
- Six Bean Blend: Dark roast crafted specifically for espresso lovers who enjoy intense, smoky flavors.
- Breakfast Blend: Smooth & balanced, with a chocolatey finish specially crafted to help you greet the day.
- African Espresso: Medium-dark, with a chocolatey profile of cocoa, caramel, and hints of vanilla.
- Flavored Coffees: French Vanilla, Hazelnut, Mocha, and so on.
You can also select roast type, origin, flavor notes, grind (whole bean or ground) and packaging size. That’s just the right amount of customization to let your coffee shine.
Step 4: Set Pricing and Margins
Pricing is crucial. It is a subscription service and costs from $30 to $197 per month for an account, depending on what is included, with a 14-day free trial.
Product prices are generally high on account of the higher quality of beans used, but margins could feel squeezed compared with wholesale models.”
But there’s a catch — you designate your retail prices and keep the margin with every sale. You can still make a heck of a profit and sell excellent coffee if you price strategically.
Step 5: Launch and Fulfillment
As soon as you have products, you can business in a day. Yes, one day. Dripshipper does all the heavy lifting: roasting, packaging, labeling, and shipping directly to your customers.Most order times are 3-5 business days across the US.
No MOQ No minimum order quantities Allow for easy start with small order and scale up as demand increases. For someone just testing the waters of entrepreneurship, this flexibility is gold.
