#109 Industry Insights from Foodpreneurs Festival 2024
Buyers inside the Pitch Hub at Foodpreneurs Festival told me what brands and products they really loved and wanted to see more of. Would you like to know what they told me? How handy would it be for you to understand why some brands were chosen, by the buyers, to pitch and others weren’t?
Now you can.
In this episode of Foodpreneur with Chelsea Ford podcast, I invited Brent Vrdoljak and Mia Van Tubbergh to talk with me immediately following Foodpreneurs Festival 2024. Brent, a marketing strategist; Mia, a sales strategist; and me with my business scale lens on, discuss why some of the brands will land on the shelf and get picked up by consumers while others, unfortunately, will struggle.
You’ll hear:
🎁 What’s important to consumers and buyers;
🎁 How to build demand;
🎁 What packaging choices need to be considered;
🎁 What appetite appeal, millennial ‘blanding’ and category management is; and
🎁 Tips on how to use this month as a marker for your success 12 months from now so you’re ready for your next big opportunity.
