Handcrafted premium meat snacks in bulk sizingB.U.L.K Beef Jerky is a modern, exciting, up-and-coming snack vendor in the food and beverage market. We provide premium, gourmet jerky to the world and have the goal of disrupting the industry with innovative solutions in the food and beverage space. Our jerkies are some of the best, hand selected and taste tested to provide jerky lovers with high quality jerky. What makes B.U.L.K special is that we offer over 100 products with sizing from 1.5 oz up to 5 pounds, providing a flavor and style for everyone. The brand was established on the fundamental key values: strength, kindness, and family, which are the values we want to reflect to our customers. One of our biggest internal challenges is keeping up with inventory. Our partnered manufacturers can not keep up with our demand, so as of September 2018, B.U.L.K acquired its own manufacturing facility in Johnson City, TX. The Jerky Market ProblemJerky and meat snacks dominate the savory snack market today, with sales of over $1 billion in 2017 and a CAGR of 9%. Although many jerky brands claim to have the "best" jerky, many have the same model with limited or no recipe innovation. Typically, they have retail distribution of 3-5 flavors, in 3-8 oz sizing.What differentiates us:Crowdsourced jerky recipes: B.U.L.K promotes “Smoker Masters”--DIY jerky makers to highlight the recipes they claim to be “the Best”.Manufacturing: B.U.L.K manufactures and helps Jerky Smokers navigate the USDA manufacturing requirements by bringing in recipes to our manufacturing facility.Distribution: B.U.L.K distributes Jerky Smokers' products and story through wholesale and e-commerce b2c channels.Creative Branding: We have our 13 pillar online marketing strategy up and running, resulting in an increase in online sales +70% over the last twelve months.
