Bigg Boss 9 Grand Finale 23rd January 2016 Full Episode 104. Video watch online Bigg Boss 9 finale with Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Bigg Boss 8 No one brand has really attempted . Innovation is rampant in verticals like menswear for example. Bonobos. Indochino. Flint and Tinder. Me. Undies. Beltcraft. Ledbury. Den. m Bar. Vastrm. Frank and Oak. You get the point: big industry, lots of innovative players trying new things. What are other smaller but still large billion dollar industries with little innovation at all? Playing the game in the home fragrance sandbox compared to menswear just statistically means we are up against a smaller number of tech savvy innovators trying to do things different in a big way.#winning. Don’t Become A Product Expert. How many years did my partners and I spend working in the home fragrance and candle industries before we sold our first candle? Hint: it was less than 3 months. How many combined years of experience did we have at our disposal when we were rapidly getting up to speed on the entire industry in that less than 3 month period? While we do manufacture the majority of our product line ourselves in Durham, NC currently where we are located, I would submit that we are the exception and not the rule. Making candles doesn’t require a multi million dollar automated line. We made our first candles using a 5 qt stock pot and a used electric kitchen stove purchased off of craigslist. Contract manufacturers, even ones in the North America, are increasingly interested in working on new product ideas in relatively small initial order quantities for new brands. Use them and leverage their industry expertise to learn about their capabilities and challenger their sometimes tunnel vision of their industry with new ways to experiment with things. Boom, that’s how the magic happens. Growth Hack your Consumer Packaged Good. The father of the term Sean Ellis details several different elements of the term but at it’s core it is: “. Ladies you know what I am talking about. Think viral coefficients for offline product experience. I know how many people our average customer tells about our brand that had not been exposed to us before who from having heard from our customer end up making a purchasing decision. Product growth hacked. Done. What physical product leans social in it’s experience that you can expound or build upon? Really, Really Different. When evaluating an industry vertical or product category look at doing things different in that industry that haven’t been done before. Manufacturing. Supply Chain. Cash Flow and Financial Management. Customer Service. Social Media. Paid Scalable Acquisition Channels. Mobile. Content Marketing. Communication of Brand Story. Copywriting. Business Model. Shortcut? Look at other industries and verticals with lots of innovation. Look to the outliers who are the poster boys for Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Content Marketing, etc. Don’t learn from the averages, even of more innovative industries and verticals. Copy. Focus on One. Choose one channel that is both . Facebook was a better social channel for us compared to twitter because our unique selling position and brand story is best communicated through photos. Twitter is not as photo friendly and more of our target market exists on Facebook. As of date of writing here Diamond Candles has 2. Scaling paid facebook advertising to drive new revenue is something that we have not fully exploited to date. Didn’t I tell you learn from my mistakes . Not taking into account any follow up orders from customers who have already made their first purchase. For arguments sake if your average order value is $1. COGS) and fixed is let’s say $4. You only have to be able to acquire that customer for an average for a comfortable $5. ROAS). Essentially would you give me $1. I would hand you back $1. What if I told you I would loan you $3. Since you are making $1. I gave you and on day 3. I have already put $3. It is called net 3. Don’t want to mislead and say that you can get that going day one if you are spending $1. Channel options/recommendations? Facebook + Facebook Ads (ie. Alpha. Boost, Nanigans and Curebit)Content/Blog Marketing + Paid Advertising Options for Publishers (ie. Outbrain)Video Content on Youtube + Youtube Ads. Find a Big Brother or Sister. You need someone that has made lots of really dumb mistakes before so you don’t have too this time around. Someone who is as excited if not more about the challenge you are undertaking than you are. I have had the priveledge of meeting other founders via Clarity. I am very excitd about. I get the humbling priveldge to let them know some of the bumbling mistakes I have made so far, what I have learned, and my recommendation as to how they can avoid those similar mistakes. How do you find them? Be helpful more than you look to be helped. It doesn’t have to be a formal advisory role although that wouldn’t hurt. As someone naturally shows a repeated interest and effort to help let them know that you really value what they have contributed so far and that you would love to be able to have them on tap to run ideas by once and awhile. I have a group of 3- 5 people who on average once every 1- 2 months I will have a quick phone call or email back or forth at a minimum running something by them and what their thoughts are on the problem I am currently working on. Build the Best Funnel. That offline word of mouth factor is crucial here as your foundation to drive highly converting traffic. What type of visitor converts to a sale more often, someone hearing about you from a random but relevant to them ad on facebook or one of your friends showed you the product face to face and you were able to see, touch, feel, smell, and use the product for yourself? No brainer. How is paid acquisition effected by your overall e- commerce conversion rate? From the example above if you can afford to spend $5. ROAS then you could afford to pay $2. Same scenario but only 1% of people converted? If you were paying that same market rate of $2. Kind of a big deal. Step #1 is honing that on- site experience to quickly and poignantly provide the unique selling position, compelling brand/product story, display social proof through reviews and press mentions, lower perceived risk of the transaction with security seals, trials, money back guarantees, etc., clearly drive people to your primary calls to action (CTA’s) while minimizing superfluous distractions and clutter. Dive into conversion rate optimization and take not from the people already doing this right. No reinvention, just adaption and iteration will get you there. Once you’re converting traffic really well, you can slowly test paid traffic. You know things are looking good when you are immediately profitable on highly targeted traffic. Wrap Up. While building a business of any kind to $1. M in revenue is difficult for most people, doing so in only 1. Difficult but I would say not complicated. People have and are doing it. I know several who have done it without any angel or venture funding. What less vogue vertical than whatever the buzzword is today; mobile, local, big data, etc. Let me know what you are working on, would love to get into your alpha and you can help us innovate the product experience and sell more candles.—If you’d like advice on honing in on your million dollar startup idea, growth hacking, social media marketing or e- commerce be sure to chat with Justin on Clarity.
