As an expert in your space, can you share one small but actionable tip for brands?
I’m going to cheat and say two things but they’re related. It is important to take your time to grow, especially considering the potential expenses associated with rapid growth. Additionally, this advice is particularly relevant for CPG brands: focus on growing where you are physically planted early on. By doing so, you can better manage and nurture your business within your local market. This approach enables a deeper understanding of your target audience, effective cost management, and the opportunity to establish a strong foundation before expanding further.
