  • Narrow focus to a specific core customer segment initially
  • Research optimal channels to reach that audience (influencers, blogs, in-person events)
  • Audit and optimize the website for conversions
  • Review pricing strategy to identify potential barriers

I have really good coffee. It is called Oda Coffee. I sell green, roasted and instant coffee. My coffee is organic and single origin. Most of it is from Ethiopia and Kenya. But I am not selling it as I want to. I have big problems with marketing. Any ideas?

Some rough thoughts:

  1. Identify your core customer and be hyper focused initially
  2. Research how to best reach your core customer (influencer, blogs, in-person events)
  3. Study your website and ensure it’s fully optimized
  4. Look at your pricing - is this a barrier
