We often get into this trap of thinking: we've put hours of work in, so the sales will automatically follow. Right? The truth is that it's not always a 1:1 relationship, especially in e-commerce. That's why we're thrilled to have Maureen Mwangi, the Founder of Startward Consulting, e-commerce expert and brand strategist behind many of America's most beloved brands, join us on the Food Biz Wiz Podcast today! In today's episode, she shares multiple ways that you can architect your SKUs, seasonality, and branding to increase sales, even when you think that you’ve hit a plateau.

In this episode, you'll hear Alli and Maureen discuss...

• How having specific uses for each of your products benefits your brand
• The importance of using data to know your consumers
• How using data to inform your decisions makes your work more efficient
• What authentic branding can do to reach the right audiences
• And multiple other gems of strategic wisdom that you don’t want to miss!
