Why Savor Brands Redirected Its WOC San Diego Budget
Savor Brands will not be attending World of Coffee San Diego this year. The decision was not easy, but the reason behind it speaks to something bigger than a trade show floor. We chose to redirect our event budget to help offset costs for our partners, and we want you to know exactly what that means for you.
The ongoing impact of tariffs has touched nearly every corner of the coffee and packaging industry. Like many of you, we have felt that pressure firsthand. Rather than spending on travel, booth space, and event logistics, we decided that money would do more good going directly toward keeping costs manageable for the people we work with every day.
We genuinely love everything World of Coffee brings to this community. The conversations, the connections, the energy of being in the same room with so many passionate people in coffee. We will miss all of it. But not being there in person does not change how much this industry means to us. The relationships we have built are real, and they do not depend on a badge or a booth.
So while we will be cheering everyone on from a distance, our team is fully focused on what we can build and deliver for you right now. Here is where our energy is going: - Lower minimums for Digital and Box packaging options to support new product launches and smaller batch orders
- Improved supply chain coordination to keep costs predictable and deliveries on schedule
- A fully customizable Mobile App built for growing coffee businesses, featuring loyalty programs, e-wallet, SoftPOS payments, self-order kiosks, subscription capabilities, and sales analytics
These are not placeholder promises. Each one is designed to help our partners grow without the added weight of high barriers or unexpected delays.
