    A really amazing product might make your taste buds sing, but a really successful one? It makes your cash register sing even louder. The secret ingredient? Commercialization. Sure, taste, packaging, and marketing play their part, but without the ability to be commercialized, distributed, and sold at a profit, even the most delicious products are just going to hit a ceiling. #foodproductdevelopment #commercialization #foodbusiness

    Fun Fact Friday! Forget those heartwarming tales of kids and their lemonade stands. 🍋 The real origin story is a bit more... capitalist. 💰 In 1879, a New York City shopkeeper, likely sweating through his suit and cursing the heatwave, had an epiphany: "It's hot, people are thirsty, let's sell 'em sugar water." And we fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker. The lemonade stand: proof that even the simplest ideas can be wildly successful. #Business #Marketing #HistoryOfFood

    Celebrity Endorsements: Are They Right for Your Food Product? 🤔 Should you partner with a celebrity chef or #influencer to promote your latest creation? A recent episode of the #ReallyNoReallyPodcast dives into the pros and cons of celebrity endorsements, and it has some valuable insights for food founders. Here's what @markhaas Jason Alexander and Peter Tilden had to say: Short-term boost vs. long-term success: While celebrities can generate buzz, a truly successful product needs to stand on its own merits over time. Authenticity is key: Consumers are savvy – they want to see a genuine connection between the celebrity and your product. Selectivity matters: Overexposure can dilute a celebrity's credibility. Choose your partnerships wisely. #foodfounders #marketing #celebrityendorsement #seinfeld
