What is an Authorized Retailer?

Steve’s Authorized Retailers earn incentives by sharing their passion for raw and alternative feeding. From co-op discounts on social marketing and improved web presence to employee feeding, the incentives are designed to not only be a perk but to perk their ability to sell raw food.

How does a retailer become authorized?

Step one is simple. Have one employee, manager or owner sign up for Raw.U, and you are in! The more you learn, the more you sell, the more you get.
