More Than a Snack Brand: Wholesale Opportunities with Captain Crazy’s

More Than a Snack Brand: Wholesale Opportunities with Captain Crazy’s

If you know Captain Crazy’s for our handcrafted flavored nuts, snack mixes, dried fruit, and colorful salt water taffy, you already know the fun side of what we do.

What you may not know is how much happens behind the scenes.

Wholesale has become an important part of Captain Crazy’s — and it goes well beyond simply putting our products on someone else’s shelves. We work with businesses in a variety of ways, from traditional wholesale ordering to private label, custom products and other creative partnerships.

And because we’re a small, independent company ourselves, we understand that one wholesale solution doesn’t work for everyone.

Wholesale Without the One-Size-Fits-All Approach

Our wholesale customers are a wonderfully varied bunch.

Our products can be found in specialty food stores, boutiques, gift shops, resorts, golf clubs, wine shops, breweries, markets, vacation rental companies and other businesses. Some customers carry a handful of Captain Crazy’s favorites. Others stock a much broader selection. Some use our products for retail, while others incorporate them into welcome gifts, guest amenities, gift baskets and other special touches.

What they have in common is that they’re looking for products that are a little different from what customers can find everywhere else.

Our handcrafted nuts are made in small batches using premium ingredients and our unique flavor-infusion and dry-roasting process. Our snack mixes combine those nuts with carefully selected ingredients to create flavors ranging from sweet and salty to decidedly spicy. Our dried fruit lineup includes tropical favorites like mango, pineapple and papaya, along with a few less-expected finds like cantaloupe, chili mango and crystallized ginger. And our salt water taffy collections are curated by Captain Crazy’s into fun flavor combinations designed to stand out on the shelf.

Made in the USA. Curated by Captain Crazy’s.

Order the Way That Works for Your Business

We’ve tried to make buying from Captain Crazy’s as flexible as possible.

Retailers can work with us directly, giving us the opportunity to get to know your business and help you choose products that make sense for your customers.

We’re also available through Faire, making it easy for retailers who already use the wholesale marketplace to add Captain Crazy’s to their assortment.

And for eligible Shopify stores, Shopify Collective provides another way to offer our products without the traditional wholesale inventory commitment.

Different businesses have different needs. We’re happy to meet you where you are.

Want Your Name on the Bag? We Do That, Too.

Some of our favorite projects start with a conversation that sounds something like:

“Could you make something just for us?”

The answer is often yes.

Captain Crazy’s offers private-label products for businesses that want our products packaged under their own brand. We can also work with customers to develop custom flavors and custom mixes created specifically for their business, location or audience.

That might mean a signature snack mix for a resort, a product designed to complement a distillery’s spirits, or something completely different.

These projects are especially fun because they allow us to combine what we know about snacks with what our customer knows about their own brand.

Small Batch Has Its Advantages

Being a smaller manufacturer means we can do things differently.

You’re not calling a giant corporate office and hoping to find the right department. You’re working with the people who make the products, develop the flavors, pack the orders and talk to the customers.

That makes it easier to have conversations about things like custom products, seasonal opportunities, packaging and what might work particularly well for your business.

It also means we’re genuinely excited when one of our wholesale customers succeeds with something we’ve made.

Their success matters to us.

Thinking Ahead to the Holidays?

If you’re a retailer, gift company, hospitality business or corporate buyer, now is the time to start thinking about fourth-quarter needs.

In addition to our year-round products, Captain Crazy’s offers seasonal flavors and collections that can add something unexpected to fall and holiday assortments. Custom and private-label projects can also be a great fit for corporate gifts, client gifts, resort shops, welcome gifts, gift baskets and special events.

And because custom projects require a little more planning than simply ordering products off the shelf, starting the conversation early is always a good idea.

There’s More Than One Way to Work With Captain Crazy’s

Whether you're looking for a few great products for your shelves, an easy way to expand your online assortment, a private-label option for your own brand, or a completely custom creation, we'd love to hear what you're thinking.
