The economics
Built for beverage economics
Market Partners purchase product at approved distributor pricing and resell into approved retail channels. Volume improves the spread.
Qualified partners receive access to market-specific pricing and economics after initial review.
We keep distributor pricing private out of respect for our partners and their margins. Complete a short qualification and a rep will walk you through the numbers for your market directly.
See if my market is availablePricing, margins and commercial terms shown are illustrative and subject to change. Freight, taxes, promotions, market conditions, regulatory requirements and individual agreements may affect actual economics. Taste Makerz does not guarantee revenue or profit.

The differentiator
We help create the demand.You close the accounts.
Every retailer or venue that submits the Carry Taste Makerz form enters the Taste Makerz lead-routing system. When the business ZIP code falls inside an active partner territory, the lead is routed to that partner.
- Consumer demand
- Retail lead
- Territory
- Market Partner
- Retail account
- 01Lead enters the Taste Makerz CRM.
- 02Territory is identified from the business ZIP code.
- 03Lead is assigned to the appropriate internal representative.
- 04Approved leads can be routed to the local Market Partner.
- 05Partner follows up with the account.
- 06Account status is tracked.
Market Partners aren't simply buying inventory.
They participate in a growing local demand-generation system that puts real retail leads in front of the operator building the market.
The consumer demand engine
Know where people want the product
When consumers use the Taste Makerz website to request product in their city, we capture the signal and aggregate it into market-demand data. Qualified Market Partners may receive a dashboard showing exactly where demand is building.

Who We're Looking For
This is a build, not a side hustle
Territories are limited, so we're selective. Be honest with yourself before you apply — the best partners self-qualify.
You're a fit if…
- You already sell into retail, hospitality, or beverage accounts — or you have the relationships to.
- You have (or can secure) capital for opening inventory and a proper launch.
- You can handle or arrange compliant, refrigerated local logistics.
- You want to build an asset in your market, not flip a quick order.
- You're comfortable operating in the hemp-derived THC beverage category.
Probably not if…
- You're looking for passive income with no hands-on operating role.
- You have no route to retail, venue, or distribution accounts.
- You want national rights or exclusivity outside a defined territory.
- You expect guaranteed returns — this is a real business, not an investment product.
- You're not able to meet your state's licensing and compliance requirements.
Your market is on the table. For now.
Once a territory is claimed, it's gone. See if yours is still open and start the conversation — it takes two minutes to find out.
Nothing on this website constitutes an offer to sell a franchise, security, investment product, or guaranteed business opportunity. Distribution and territory arrangements are subject to qualification, applicable law and final written agreement. Financial examples, if presented, are illustrative only and do not guarantee results.
