How IM8 Built a $10 Million a Month Brand: What the Winners Got Right Series Pt 5
from E-Commerce Growth For Supplement Brands | Direct-to-Consumer Marketing Strategies · host Bobby Hewitt
"Send me a text"I usually tell supplement founders that leading with science is the wrong move, because science only speaks to half of the buying decision. So why is a brand that leads with science harder than almost anyone winning at a level this industry has rarely seen? IM8, co-founded by David Beckham, went from launch to roughly ten million dollars a month in its first year. Everyone credits the celebrity. But celebrity gets you attention, not three hundred and fifty thousand customers and the kind of retention that builds a real business. In this episode, I break down the deliberate trust play underneath IM8, why trust is the hardest of the four supplement buying forces, and the sophistication insight that explains exactly when leading with science is a fatal mistake and when it is the only thing that works. Plus what a celebrity co-founder actually does in a trust structure, beyond the obvious answer of reach, and how to find your own version of hard-to-copy trust.Learn more about The Supplement Business Accelerator Group at https://creativethirst.com/groupIf you're interested in working with me and my team to improve your supplement business.
