At Bud Love, our commitment to transparency is deep-rooted, both in our approach to business and how we communicate with our customers. Whether you’re considering your first purchase or you’re a long-time patron, here’s an in-depth look at our passion and commitment to affordability, quality, and environmental impact.
Direct-to-Consumer Sales Model
Our direct-to-consumer model is a cornerstone of our strategy to keep prices down. By bypassing traditional retail channels, we minimize overhead costs and avoid retailer markups, making our products more affordable for customers. This approach also allows us to maintain direct communication with our customers, ensuring we can quickly adapt to feedback and preferences.
Efficient and Economical Product Options
We’ve structured our product offerings to enhance affordability through various packaging options:
- Flexible Packaging Choices: We previously offered our sampler packs and 14g pouches in a collectible tin. Recognizing the need for cost efficiency, we now sell these packs without the tin by default, though customers can still purchase a tin separately.
- Cost-Efficient Larger Packets: Understanding that some of our customers prefer to buy in larger quantities, we introduced 14g and 28g pouches. These larger packets provide a more economical option per gram and suit those who wish to purchase less frequently.
- Bulk Orders: For those who need even larger quantities, we can cater to custom bulk orders upon request. This flexibility ensures that all our customers’ needs are met, whether small or large.
- Sampler Packs: We also offer small 1.5g sampler packs, perfect for those looking to explore our different scents without committing to a larger quantity. These packs are an excellent way for new customers to experience the variety that Bud Love offers.
Subscriber Savings
We offer a subscription model that provides a consistent 15% discount on the normal price. This model not only ensures that our customers never run out of their favorite products, but also helps in building customer loyalty and predictable sales that enables further price optimization.
Comprehensive Shipping Offers
Understanding the importance of cost-effective shipping, we offer free shipping on orders over $32 and free expedited shipping on orders over $75. These thresholds are set to encourage larger, less frequent orders, which are more efficient to process and ship, reducing overheads and environmental impact. Additionally, our packaging is designed to be both durable and lightweight, not only reducing shipping costs but also minimizing carbon footprint.
Quality, Purity and Freshness
The production of Bud Love is a meticulous process focused on quality, purity, freshness and consistency. Here’s what goes into each packet:
Premium Ingredients
We source only US organic marshmallow leaf, processing it further to remove stems and ensure a consistent particle size suitable for mixing with cannabis and smoking. To this we add more than 10% CBG (95%+ purity), combined with proprietary blends natural terpenes to ensure effective and consistent results.
Solvent-free Manufacturing
Our proprietary manufacturing process avoids solvents, ensuring a pure product that is safe and free of chemicals. We use mechanical methods to achieve a uniform spread of all ingredients, so each packet offers a consistent experience.
Rigorous Testing
Each production batch undergoes comprehensive testing for multiple contaminants including heavy metals, pesticides, residual solvents, yeast, molds, and mycotoxins. This ensures that every product meets our requirements – the highest standards of safety and quality.
Traceability
Every package is clearly marked with a batch number, enhancing transparency and allowing customers to access detailed certificates of analysis so they can have confidence in the safety and purity of what they’re consuming.
Freshness Guarantee
Our products are packed immediately after production in high-quality, airtight pouches to preserve freshness. Additionally, we regularly purge our inventory of pouches, ensuring that every product customers receive is as fresh as possible, delivering the best experience every time.
Environmental Impact
Our commitment to environmental impact extends beyond our product ingredients and manufacturing processes. We’ve partnered with Route shipping protection to ensure our shipping processes are carbon neutral (with guaranteed delivery to customers). And while our packaging is designed primarily for durability and lightness to minimize shipping costs, it also contributes to reducing the overall environmental impact of our logistics.
Looking Ahead
At Bud Love, we are deeply committed to delivering top-quality products at affordable prices, and constantly innovating to improve both our products and cost management strategies. Despite widespread price increases across many industries, we’ve kept our prices unchanged since launching in November 2022. Our long-term goal is to realize economies of scale as our production volumes grow, which will allow us to reduce prices further. We are excited to continue providing the finest quality products that enrich the herbal experiences of as many people as possible.
