So you’re selling a commodity.

4 key ways to escape the commidity trap.


How can one escape the commodity trap?

Building the company of tomorrow while escaping commoditisation.

Let’s look at produce, it use to be as long as you had enough produce to supply and a clever marketing message like “farm to table”, or “best quality” messages would ensure your success. But of course things have definitely changed..

The Market

The market has more competitors, the amount you have to spend to gain is more than it used to be. Produce companies invest in countless marketing efforts but yet the majority of produce consumers still make choices based on price. Research has mostly been used to support produce items and has not consistently led to bottom-line results. Phrases like “farm to table” have become ubiquitous that the true meaning has faded from consumers minds.

Changing Consumer Needs

Today’s consumer needs are beyond just the produce quality or a funny marketing campaign, consumers are subscribing to brands that resonate with their identity. They want to contribute to brands and help others join them too. The brand that delivers the best experience and drives brand loyalty will win market share and be demanded by those customers.
