  • EP 76: This is what happens when Kim Kardashian Endorses Your Brand - LuMee case
    INFLUENCER MARKETING is THE HOT topic in MARKETING TODAY. If you are not doing influencer marketing, then your marketing is not deemed to be at the cutting edge. This particularly applies to the B2C (business to consumer) brand space. My guest on today’s show is playing at the very pinnacle of the INFLUENCER MARKETING space: celebrity endorsements. He has had Kim Kardashian on several occasions use his product and now officially endorse his product. The impact of her endorsement has been enormous to say the least.       Allan Shoemake has been a professional photographer for more than 25 years, photographing U.S. Presidents, celebrities and C-level executives the world over.    He created the LuMee case in 2014 after coming up with the idea while Skyping his daughter studying overseas, and realizing how bad the lighting was. He enjoys skiing and camping, and is a self professed grill master and middlingly successful golfer.

  • EP 74: EVELO Sell Innovative Electric Bikes Direct to Consumer (D2C) w/ Boris Mordkovich
    As you are aware - I LOVE the concept of selling direct to
    consumer and owning a brand in general as against selling a range
    of other manufacturers’ brands.
    I especially LOVE direct to consumer product businesses when
    they go against the grain to disrupt an entire industry.
    my guest on today’s show has done exactly that with his
    electric bike company he co-founded with his brother called
    EVELO.
    it is a customer-obsessed at the same time innovative electric
    bike company
     
    On this episode, Boris shares
    • how his company recently raised $750,000 from actual investors
      • on seedinvest.com and not kickstarter or indiegogo
    • their sales funnel
    • why content marketing is synonymous to education (especially
      • for high ticket products)
    • how they use their customers as affiliates in a clever
      • ‘ambassador referral program’ they developed
    • and his view on why direct to consumer businesses should be 50%
      • innovation and 50% customer experience

    • EP 71: Sell Products with High Barriers to Entry on Amazon w/ Higher Tea’s Sophie Howard

      Continuing this month’s Amazon Seller Success Series is Sophie Howard, a mother of 2 that bootstrapped her way to sell over $1.5million worth of products in only 18 months on Amazon whilst having a full time job. Her newest Amazon venture is Higher Tea, a brand of premium teas called which launched less than six months ago yet already making a round in front of Hollywood stars.

      Going directly against the grain of teachings of popular training courses, Sophie’s approach to selling on Amazon is to build brands rather than chasing niches. Instead of looking for top-selling products to copy, Sophie focuses on understanding target markets and demographics to enable her to tailor her range of products to be a direct match with what the customer wants. That of course, and all of the basics, which she now teaches in her own trainings and coaching at Aspiring Entrepreneurs.

      In this episode Sophie goes into the details of how you can create and run a scalable Amazon business that is going to last, including the payoffs of good design and packaging when selling a premium product to match a premium market. We also cover some pros and cons to the Amazon platform and why it can be ideal for testing and launching your product and brand. We then finish up with an exploration of what is covered in the Amazon training that Sophie now offers for anyone wishing to follow in her footsteps and under her guidance.

      If you are looking to create your own brand to sell on Amazon, this show is a must!

He has a podcast and blog, Anybody Can Do It, and an academy where he trains and mentors students to sell on Amazon.In the second half of this split-podcast, Saj talks about his approach to successfully creating a private label business. We also dive into some the tools and tactics that he employs on UK Amazon. We finish with learning more about the Amazon academy that Saj is building.The insights and advice Saj shares here are grounded in business fundamentals and hard-earned experience.Saj’s personal story of building an Amazon business from zero and constantly adapting and evolving with a positive outlook on an ever-changing landscape is both fascinating and inspiring, and not to be missed!
