Will you help me Identify the Most Successful Regional Tea Brands | Customers today celebrate fragmented markets like tea and cheese for their diverse offerings and strict adherence to "distinctive" characteristics. Quit dumbing down blends to save a buck. Instead, double down on the ingredients that make a blend distinctive. Remember that tiny portion of Keemum that was costly but added a pleasant note to English Breakfast blends? How about that flavorful high-mountain Orthodox from Kandy, Sri Lanka, now virtually eliminated from the very brands whose reputations for quality were largely based on Sri Lanka's unique flavor profile? Stay true to what defines your tea. No compromise. This is why regional brands are triumphant... Caykur, Wagh Bakri, BOH, AOI Once they master online sales and last-mile distribution, they rocket... look at Luxmi Estates sales via Amazon Global Selling: "We now make ₹1.5 to 2 crore (₹ 20 million) in sales via Amazon monthly. The U.S. is our biggest market on Amazon, accounting for 70% of our online sales. We see sale numbers shooting up to 3x during Amazon sale events such as Prime Day."

A great story about how important it is to remember the details. The Italian Market (many non-Philadelphians may remember the market from Rocky's famous run in the 1976 classic that ended up on the art museum steps). The market is the nation's oldest continuous operating market and stretches for several blocks on 9th Street in Philadelphia and is a hallmark of Philadelphia's Italian heritage" The annual festival stretches for 7 blocks and features 100's of vendors, music, parades, a hoagie competition, and a halfball tournament. However, the highlight is a competition to see who can ascent a 30 ft high pole greased with lard to claim prizes of meats, cheese, gift cards, and money that are tied to the top of the pole. It is also great practice for those fans eager to train on climbing streetlight poles when the Phillies or Eagles win championships (we don't get too much opportunity to practice here in Philadelphia - lol). It seems, this year, that someone forgot to arrange the crane that is used to remove the unclaimed meats and cheeses after the event. For 4 weeks, the "world's worst wind chime" has baked in the summer sun in the city leaking oils and unleashing stench on the innocent shoppers below. I think this is a great example - from a management standpoint - that no matter how great the idea is, no matter how flawlessly it is executed at the moment of truth, true success is measured in the details and the follow-up after the idea. https://lnkd.in/evmgEpc3

🚚 As the “old warhorses” and well established, experienced and successful company owners in this business, we are often asked for #advice by the #organizers of #festivals and #events. It can happen that we attended an event which is not as successful as anyone involved in the organisation would like it to be. What could be the reason? 1️⃣ Is the format outdated? Just because an event has always been organised in one way, does not mean this still works today. 2️⃣ The number of foodtrucks on site. It would be appropriate to sometimes drastically reduce the number of food trucks planned. Sometimes the number of people participating at an event is more than manageable, so by reducing the number of trucks, it would allow those on site to sell a little more. 3️⃣ The date. Is it advisable to organise something on a date that is clearly not ideal, either because there are too many events taking place in the area on that same day or because people will be away due to a holiday. 4️⃣ Paying a fee. Some organisers (luckily not all) still ask for a ridiculously high demurrage fee. Why should one pay for a service that oneself is providing to others, allowing the organisers to offer additional value to their audience and hence attract more people? This still remains a greedy mystery. 🌦 As for the weather, well there is nothing that can be done unfortunately. 😎 Questions, ideas, feedback?
