Community Market Day
Good day Lions today is LPUD and I'm moving closer to becoming a Lion at 15,000 $LEO tokens staked with over 1000 LEO staked today! My largest for LPUD to Date.
I've been a bit delayed in posting as today I was at a community market for my business which I previously raised how community markets are a great way to test your product affordable.
The market wasn't heavily visited due to torrential rains and wind as we move into autumn in the southern hemisphere. But I did manage to sell 5 units which was a good outcome and shows my product is indeed needed.
Cost Cutting to lower price
One of my challenges is competition with China, due to their cheap unit prices but often the quality isn't there so instead of offshore my manufacturing as I want to remain Australian made. I've reduced packaging by having smaller bags which enables me to send via mail with an envelope and a stamp lowering AUD10 and removing tubs and scoop also lowers a further 10 so from AUD 50 I can now retail for AUD35 per unit.
While maintaining my Aussie made and Aussie jobs mantra. It is still a challenge to get out into the market and raise awareness as it is saturated but we will get there.
We've also discontinued grape mango as it wasn't a good seller and just cost me money. So we're getting better.
The Show Went on
Depsite the heavy rain and the winds it was still a great day out with much to share and explore. I'll be looking at more markets and more marketing campaigns so follow along as we get back to the grind.
