Craft Hand Sanitizer with James Henderson
Nuggets:
- The value of the product goes beyond its functionality; for two equal quality products, the one that makes consumers feel better about themselves will win
- The snob effect is a documented phenomenon wherein a higher price point can actually increase the demand for a product or service.
- During a tumultuous time people who want to be perceived as doing okay may be a market for your products
- Some Craft Distillers are making bank by producing hand sanitizer instead of spirits
- Networking to develop one business can lead to other opportunities
Action Steps:
- Build a list of distillers who are currently making hand sanitizer.
- Contact your list and see who would list a product online and allocate stock to you.
- Act as an affiliate and drop ship the product.
- Hire a designer on Fiverr to create branded mockups for post-pandemic sanitizer packaging and marketing so you can help distilleries make this work.
- Market through the existing channels of the distilleries, through bars and restaurants.
- You might donate a portion of your proceeds to support a relevant cause.
