The Tofoo Co: What the rainy day test says about your product


Listen Later

In this episode I talk to Lydia and Dave, owners of The Tofoo Co, who have been on a mission to turn tofu from drab to fab. The Tofoo Co creates one of the best selling tofus in the UK, using an age old method established by it’s original owner in 1999. Their unique journey into business ownership shows how you can turn a pre-existing business into a national success when you combine quality product with effective branding and positioning.


Topics:

  • How The Tofoo Co came to be
  • Consumer attitudes towards tofu
  • Why branding was critical
  • How to embrace tofu as a staple ingredient
  • Learning how to make handmade tofu
  • Manufacturing: Understanding the process and keeping it under control
  • Their approach to NPD & gathering consumer insight
  • How they have responded to a changing market
