You need to ask: how do your prospects and customers search for information? What sources have credibility for them?
According to the owner, his success is due to:
1) concentration on consistently producing a quality (hand made) product
2) great internet presence (and focus on making sure anyone who wants pies and looks to the web - finds us!)
3) a great idea whose time was long overdue
4) some good luck
He does little or no advertising:
we do all of our own PR
we've spent virtually nothing on direct advertising (unless you include the cost of the website - which has so far been put together at the cost of as many pies as our websdesigner can eat!) - haven't even sent out a single Press Releaseā¦ yet!
