What is Taos Bakes Wholesale Program?
Taos Bakes Wholesale Program is a self-service e-commerce platform that is exclusively available for wholesale purchasers of Taos Bakes product for bulk consumption or resale (that are unable to reasonably purchase Taos Bakes products through third party distribution partners due to minimum purchase requirements or accessibility). Unlike Taos Bakes’ consumer-facing website, Taos Bakes Wholesale offers perks such as tax exemption for eligible businesses allowing us to offer our snacks at a discounted price. See below for more Wholesale Partner perks. Please note, Taos Bakes Wholesale will not provide trade spend for third party promotions.
