When it comes to bringing a product to market, there are lots of aspects to consider before it reaches the shelves. 

To learn more, I wanted to hear from someone who has successfully launched products to market. Kinga Wilewska is the Founder & CEO of MUJO, the adaptogenic coffee alternative packed with vital nutrients. Having watched her dad lose his fight against cancer, Kinga developed a keen interest in adaptogens & set out to bring truly transformational products to market. 

Keep listening to hear Kinga’s advice on sourcing feedback on your products & how to begin making sales. 

Kinga's advice:

• Always pay attention to costs
• Spend time sourcing ingredients carefully
• Research your market thoroughly and understand where the gaps are
• Speak to strangers about what propels them to buy / what are their priorities / what packaging appeals to them
• Pay continual attention to feedback
• Communicate with your buyers; see your product as a service for them
• Refine your pitch and your website to suit your market
• Your brand needs to inspire trust and exude authority
• Always put quality over quantity
• Believe absolutely in your product yourself
• Be disciplined and honest with yourself (eg when you need help)
• Use Facebook to advertise - rather than use an agency (this can minimise spend and maximise reach)
• Minimise risks for first time buyers: guarantee them money back and absorb the shipping costs yourself
• Always be ready to learn some new way of reaching your market
