She outlines her strategic growth approach, starting with direct-to-consumer channels before expanding into retail. Dana also reveals plans for a cookbook and an appearance on QVC to boost exposure and differentiate her product. Her story demonstrates the impact of sharing a genuine narrative and connecting deeply with an audience, fostering loyalty and empowering customers to become brand advocates.

Quotes

• “Never sacrifice quality. I could have cheapened all my ingredients and kept the price point the same. I couldn’t do that. I couldn’t do it to my customers… I kept the formula that everybody loved... I kept it exactly the same. (35:54 | Dana Lynn Kaye)
• “I kept quality and people saw that. It’s paid off in the long run because people are willing to buy quality. The people who really care about themselves and quality will buy it. They will. The ones who are like, ‘Oh, that’s too expensive for me.’ Okay, it’s not for you then. Not every brand, not everything is going to be for you.” (36:27 | Dana Lynn Kaye)
