Listen "Gaining New While Keeping Old"
Episode Synopsis
Tell Us How You Feel With A Text ReviewThis episode outlines a strategic challenge for Yerba Madre, which aims to achieve significant growth and reach new markets without alienating its original, loyal customer base. The core strategy hinges on defining non-negotiables, such as the product's natural authenticity and its commitment to regeneration and community respect, which must remain sacred to the brand's identity. Simultaneously, the brand must allow negotiables - like product formats (cans versus loose leaf), flavors, and distribution points - to evolve, to attract new fans seeking convenience. Ultimately, the goal is to create a unified experience where long-time consumers feel like hosts welcoming new members, thereby ensuring that growth is seen as a celebration rather than a threat to the brand’s soul.If you are interested in the original source material for this episode, just reach out to Gordon for a copy.
