EXPERIENCE - There are very few consulting companies that have the level of 'in depth' knowledge with regards to raw materials, product packaging, design and manufacturing that Colorado Therapeutic Enterprises has. There are many pit falls that a client can fall prey to along the way when trying to get started in this business. Our job at CTE Corp is to protect our clients and to provide them with the highest quality service available, our ultimate goal is to ensure that you get started off on the right foot. The last thing any ‘start up’ needs is to make a mistake and lose money because they were not properly educated and protected from those that might cause them harm, or that might lead them down the wrong path. This also goes for the seasoned professional, which are companies that have been in business for years and are no less susceptible to running into these same issues.  

Even though the nutrition/herbal markets have matured a great deal over the past twenty years, there are still some growing pains that the industry has to weather. And unfortunately these pains are mostly caused by those that are only looking out for their own best interests.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING - There are hundreds of raw materials available on the market today, and there are also many suppliers and contract manufacturers in the U.S. and overseas. Many are wonderful, however there are a good number of companies that are run by people that are not quality conscious, and are only watching their own bottom line. Do you know which ones are which?

When it comes to raw materials, there are so many available it is also difficult to know what to choose to use in your product. This is a problem because in some cases it is difficult to know what is considered a ‘high quality’ raw material; and what isn’t. What processing procedures are used to produce a high quality ‘finished’ raw material? What testing procedures and protocols should be used to determine what the level of quality is of what you are buying? What claims for raw materials and finished products are real and accurate and which aren’t? Which claims can get you into trouble, and what can you legitimately say about an ingredient or product without getting into trouble? The FDA and the FTC are seriously cracking down on marketers that make false claims and on those whose products don’t meet label claim.  

WRITING TECHNICAL, MARKETING, SALES, ADVERTORIAL MATERIALS Our staff can help you to write and present the above mentioned types of written copy in a way that will help to educate your client base. We work directly with your sales and marketing staff to help sell your products. The quality of the written material that you use to present your products to the public may mean the difference between ‘a sale’ or the customer passing you by. Any written copy you present to the public, or to other businesses will help you to sell your products, your presentation will help to separate you from your competition. The nutrition market is becoming more competitive every day, and you sometimes have only one chance to make that ‘first impression’, so let’s make it a memorable one!
