Dan's advice to fellow entrepreneurs
Condiments are some of the common gifts many people give to their friends. With so many delicious flavors to choose from, this is one of the most competitive categories out there for CPG brands.
In order to build a successful brand, it is important to create unique products that will appeal to the mass market, stay readily available to consumers, choose the right selling price, and design awesome packaging. Dan Doll advises brands to educate their consumers, better connect with them by evoking emotional responses, and encourage them to share user-generated content.

They also discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed consumer behavior, how the recent rise in costs and longer lead times have affected sales, and the value of collecting user-generated content.
