They care that you won't be out of stock, that your product won't get returned, and that you've already proven you can move sku at scale. Tea is commoditized; certification and origin cut through.

(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer PRNewswire, Brook37, a direct-farm-sourced tea brand, secured placement across every Costco location in Texas as part of a statewide debut timed to iced tea season.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): in bulk retail, the buyer is not the consumer—it's the Costco buyer tasked with reducing risk and moving volume. Lead with third-party certification (NSF, heavy-metal testing, organic validation) and a story about origin (where it comes from, who grows it) BEFORE you mention taste or marketing. Call the bulk buyer with lab results and supply proof, not Instagram followers. The entire-state pitch (not the pilot) signals you're ready to ship volume and won't waste their shelf time.\nWhat that means for you: Most small brands treat Costco like the lottery. Brook37 walked in with a thesis: we are safe, we are sourced, we are ready for 54 stores on day one. The bulk buyer doesn't care about your community or your story arc. They care that you won't be out of stock, that your product won't get returned, and that you've already proven you can move sku at scale. Tea is commoditized; certification and origin cut through. If you make a physical product and you have third-party proof of quality, Costco is not a dream—it's a negotiation.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — PRNewswire: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/brook37-makes-its-costco-debut-across-all-54-texas-warehouses-302792134.html.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
