EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE

Webster’s Dictionary defines Exceptional as, “unusually good; much better than average.” That’s what you’ll experience with North Coast Natural Sales; a quality of service that’s outside the norm, and set apart from the rest. We pride ourselves on our consistency, reliability, communication, and a willingness to go above and beyond, both the brands we represent and the retailers we partner with.

QUALITY & QUANTITY

When it comes to the lines that we represent, quality is of the utmost importance. We only work with brands that manufacture products we’re excited to use personally, and would recommend to our friends and family. Additionally, we choose to partner with a select number of manufacturers to ensure that each of our customers receives the attention they deserve. The result is a mutually beneficial partnership between the brand, the broker, and the retailer.

TERRITORY SALES

North Coast Natural Sales currently covers the territory of Washington State, Oregon, and Alaska. We partner with retailers, provide regular face-to-face contact, and additional support through phone and email. We focus in the core areas of Placement, Merchandising, and Education, to ensure that our brands have an optimal shelf presence, and that the floor level staff have a sound knowledge, and if possible, a personal relationship with your product. Additionally, we ensure that promotional platforms are properly employed, and provide feedback on the actions and activity of competing brands on the shelf.

North Coast Natural Sales currently manages brand relationships with Amazon, Lucky Vitamins, iHerb, Vitacost, VitaminLife, Wishing U Well, Swanson Vitamins, and other e-commerce partners.
