The brand's experience with Virtual Pitch Events
Gouri took part in our Baking Goods Virtual pitch event in August 2021, on a mission to impress a panel of retailers with her unique range of highly concentrated extracts for cooking, Spice Drops®.
Product Guru’s Virtual Pitches offer producers and makers the chance to meet online with retailers, to put their brand in front of buyers and deliver a 7-minute pitch to impress them.
Spice Drops® received sample requests from retailers following the pitch, and they were successful in securing a listing with the highly popular fine foods retailer, Springvale Foods.
We asked Goury about her experience, and what insights she'd share with our community
What can you tell us about your brand journey, your experience with Product Guru and taking part in a virtual pitch?
Setting up on Product Guru was very simple and the pitch system was efficient and effective. It would have been useful to have had some more constructive feedback from all the buyers, but overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would recommend it to other businesses.
Any tips or advice you could give to other brands pitching their products?
Make your USPs clear (1 or 2 only). Time is limited so make your pitch punchy and ensure it covers all the key and effective points. Leave time for questions.
