As you are aware - I LOVE the concept of selling direct to
consumer and owning a brand in general as against selling a range
of other manufacturers’ brands.
I especially LOVE direct to consumer product businesses when
they go against the grain to disrupt an entire industry.
my guest on today’s show has done exactly that with his
electric bike company he co-founded with his brother called
EVELO.
it is a customer-obsessed at the same time innovative electric
bike company
On this episode, Boris shares
- how his company recently raised $750,000 from actual investors
on seedinvest.com and not kickstarter or indiegogo
- their sales funnel
- why content marketing is synonymous to education (especially
for high ticket products)
- how they use their customers as affiliates in a clever
‘ambassador referral program’ they developed
- and his view on why direct to consumer businesses should be 50%
innovation and 50% customer experience

This episode is brought to you by
Salsify.
As an online retailer or supplier, you are well aware that
ACCURATE PRODUCT CONTENT drives more sales...
However, as your store starts to scale the harsh reality is that
maintaining product description content becomes more and more of a
challenge to ecommerce teams.
Enter Salsify...
Salsify is a SaaS based product content management platform built
specifically for online retailers and brand owners.
I recently took Salsify on a test drive and here are the glaring
advantages etailers stand to gain:
- Your entire product catalog can be accessed by any department in
a centralised hub,
- There’s a workflow setup that ensures no fields go amiss when
product data is published to multiple channels such as Amazon, your
Google Merchant account or just directly to your ecommerce
store
- Salsify tells you when it spots missing critical fields across
your product catalog
It is really a modern, flexible and robust product management
platform I recommend if your store and brand's product catalog
changes often and if you publish to numerous channels often.
