Shark Tank Guest Aaron Gailmor, Founder and CEO of Brass Roots on ”How to Support your Brand in Retail”

Brass Roots CEO Aaron Gailmor joins me today to unveil the Sacha Inchi Seed from Peru and shares the how he and his team keep the brand moving off the shelf.

 

His Shark Tank experience

That Suit is money!

The Sacha Inchi Seed – functional benefits and the Impact on the Environment

Sourced from Peru and SE Asia, Thailand, and Laos with no irrigation needed! VS Almonds which require massive amounts of water

Retail strategies, Packaging

Footprint – Sprouts nationally and Whole Foods regionally

Whole Food's story is the success story they want to replicate

You have 6-9 month to show growth in sales and gross margin for the store than the bottom 20%

You can sell at full price and discounted  (trial and repurchases)

Getting access to data – setting expectations and goals from the beginning

Best thing you can do retail – get as much real estate as possible – an end cap is the Holy Grail

go to corporate to get “off shelf”

Use brand ambassadors – customers perhaps – samplings at the store and build a relationship with the managers of the category

Field service teams VS ambassadors and can you manage them

Micro-influencers

Get them to do what they love – they will be more engaged naturally and you will retain them

Ideas on advertising – Instagram customer acquisition – but at a certain point, its harder to target your audience.

Top of the funnel – brand awareness in social media
