When it comes to starting your healthy snack food business, you may find yourself in a place where you have to make some big decisions.
You may be asking yourself:
- What's the first step in establishing my business?
- How much will it cost to start my healthy snack food business?
- How do I price my healthy snack food business?
- How do I market my healthy snack food business?
- ... so much more!
We walk you through all of the steps; from idea → starting → launching → growing → running your healthy snack food business.
The purpose of this guide is to act as an outline for the steps you'll need to take to get your business running successfully!
💡 Idea
Is the healthy snack food business for you?
There are quite a few factors to consider when starting a healthy snack food business.
Let's look at the pros and cons of starting your healthy snacks:
- Flexibility One of the biggest advantages of starting a healthy snack food business is that you can either offer part-time or full-time services. If you like the work and have some initial experience, you can start small and manage all aspects of the business on your own. Or, if you prefer to manage the books and instead delegate the kitchen work to someone else, you can build and manage your own team to do so.
- Ability to start your business from home: It's not necessary to have an office space to get your business started! You can do everything from the comfort of your own home, at least in the beginning!
- Rewarding work: If you're someone that truly enjoys the art of food + bringing joy to people's lives through food, starting a healthy snack food business can be really fun and rewarding.
- Food prep + delivery logistics can be challenging: If you plan to source local, fresh, organic ingredients, you need to stay on top of the inventory process.
- High overhead costs: You will need to anticipate high overhead costs in order to acquire the right supplies + food to get your healthy snack food business off the ground.
- Crowded space: There is a lot of competition when it comes to healthy snacks, so it's important that you spend a good amount of time analyzing the market and demand in your area.
Search Interest
Let's take a look at the search trends for healthy snacks over the last year:
How To Name Your Healthy Snack Food Business
It's important to find a catchy name for your healthy snack food business so that you can stand out in your space.
Here are some general tips to consider when naming your healthy snack food business
- Avoid hard to spell names: you want something easy to remember and easy to spell for your customers
- Conduct a search to see if others in the space have the same name
- Try not to pick a name that limits growth opportunities for your business (ie. if you decide to expand into other product lines)
- As soon as you have an idea (or ideas) of a few names that you love, register the domain name(s) as soon as possible!
Why is naming your healthy snack food business so important?
The name of your business will forever play a role in:
- Your customers first impression
- Your businesses identity
- The power behind the type of customer your brand attracts
- If you're memorable or not
It's important to verify that the domain name is available for your healthy snack food business.
You can search domain availability here:
Find a domain starting at $0.88
powered by Namecheap
Although .com names are the most common and easiest to remember, there are other options if your .com domain name is not available. Depending on your audience, it may not matter as much as you think.
It's also important to thoroughly check if social media handles are available.
As soon as you resonate with a name (or names), secure the domain and SM handles as soon as possible to ensure they don't get taken.
Ask other people what you should name your business
Sometimes, coming up with a name is as easy as asking other people, whether that be friends, family, people at a coffee shop, or in Spyq Sklar case, his own customer!
How we came up with the name Cat Sushi:
My name is Spyq and I am a co-creator of Cat Sushi.
Cat Sushi is a flaky, tuna based treat that cats love. It is our flagship product that eventually led to us forming our current company Presidio Natural Pet Company, where we design and manufacture ultra-premium, natural, and healthy food products for pets.
One of our loyal customers actually came up with the name. We still give them free cat food.

Raising Money
Since the startup costs to start healthy snack food business range between $4,850 - $50,500, there are ways you can raise money to cover these costs.
Here are a few ways you can secure additional funding:
- Launch your product on Kickstarter
- Raise capital by asking friends and family
- Apply for a loan
- Find an investor!
Crowdfunding Campaign Example: Sat Nam Babe
I used iFundWomen to launch my company with a crowdfunding campaign, raising approximately 70% of what I needed to launch my business.
Crowdfunding is an excellent way to raise capital and test your market in a controlled and safe environment (aka friends and family) without draining your savings.
I raised about 40% of my goal within the first 48 hours because I was prepared, promoted heavily and had 100% of my energy in the game.
I can't recommend this avenue enough because since most companies fail, why would you want to drain your savings or take out a bank loan when you can get early buy-in, early-stage customers and early feedback through crowdfunding?
Licenses and Permits
When starting a meal prep service, it's important to identify the type of space that you will be cooking meals + preparing deliveries.
MVP stage
Before launch, you may want to consider preparing/cooking the meals in your own kitchen (or a friend) to test different recipes and processes so that you can ensure everything is in place once you launch.
In this stage, as long as you are not selling products- the experimental phase can be done in the comfort of your own home without a heal department to approve the kitchen.
Health Department Approval
Once you're ready to launch the business, there are a few boxes to check in order to ensure you are health & safety approved.
The most common question is whether you can operate a meal prep business from home or if you need to rent a kitchen facility.
As long as you are FDA approved, you have the ability to operate out of your own kitchen. However, you may need proper equipment in order to make that happen, and a commercial kitchen facility may be better suited for you.
For a full list of FDA requirements to get your food business set up, read more ➡ here.
Michael Martinez, founder of Eat Clean LLC explains his experience renting a commercial facility:
The business was started with three of my long-time friends and just $3,000 (which was all that I had in my savings account at the time). That money was used for kitchen hours in a commercial kitchen, food and our original website.
By our third month, we were delivering to over 100 customers each week and we then had to lease a space and build our own kitchen. Initially, our customer base was family, friends, local gyms, and sports teams.
The space we leased was a pizza restaurant that we had to tear down and build it to our requirements. Later on, we then leased the two locations next to us for additional space to prepare our meals.
Determine Which Business Bank Account You Need
There are hundreds of banks out there, and it can be overwhelming to find one that's right for your business.
Here are some factors you may want to consider:
- Location - Is your bank close enough that you can easily make deposits or get cash?
- Low Fees - Make sure to understand any and all fees associated with setting up and maintaining your bank account. Ask for a list - banks usually try to keep this hidden and in the fine print.
- Online Banking Services - Make sure you can easily navigate through your online portal and you have easy access to everything you need.
- Line of Credit - What do your options look like (even if you don't need this now, you may need this down the road).
- Every bank has something that differentiates them from the rest, so make sure whatever that is applied to your needs and values.
Check out this list of the 13 Best Banks for Small Business in 2020 and what makes them so unique.
Setting Up Your Healthy Snack Food Business (Formation and Legal)
When it comes to setting up your business, you may find yourself in a place where you have to make some financial and legal decisions.
The first thing you'll want to decide on is whether you want to be an LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp.
These three options are found to be the most common when starting a small business, and all serve to protect your personal assets and also provide you with certain tax benefits.
- LLC: All income and expenses from the business are reported on the LLC personal income tax return.
- S corp: Owners pay themselves salaries + receive dividends from profits.
- C Corp: C Corps are separately taxable entities that file a corporate tax return (Form 1120). No income tax is paid at the corporate level and any tax due is paid at the owners individual expense.
Depending on where you're conducting business, you'll also want to consider securing the proper permits, licenses and liability insurance.

Write a Business Plan
Writing a business plan from the start is critical for the success of your healthy snack food business.
Because this allows you to roadmap exactly what you do, what your overall structure will look like, and where you want to be in the future.
For many entrepreneurs, writing out the business plan helps validate their idea and decide whether or not they should move forward with starting the business.
You may want to consider expanding upon these sections in your business plan:
- Executive Summary: Brief outline of your product, the market, and growth opportunities
- Overviews and Objectives: Overview of your business, target customers, and what you need to run your business
- Products and Services: Specifics on the products and services your business will provide
- Market Opportunities: Analysis of customer demographics, buyer habits and if your product is in demand
- Marketing: Outline of your marketing plan and how you plan to differentiate yourself from other customers
- Competitive analysis: Analysis of your competition and the strengths and weaknesses therein
- Operations: Hierarchal structure of the company and what it will take to run the business on the day-to-day
- Leadership Team: Detailing roles and responsibilities of each manager based on their specific skill-set
- Financial Analysis Understanding of all expenses, operating budgets, and projections for the future.

How To Find A Manufacturer For Your Healthy Snack Food Business
Here are the steps to consider when finding a supplier/manufacturer:
Know your product
One very critical step to finding the right supplier is having an initial idea of what your product will look (and taste) like.
Sketching is one of the most simple ways to get started in the design phase.
What's great about sketching is that you can practically do this anytime, anywhere - even on the back of a napkin.
You can also experiment and test out your own recipes just to gauge an idea of what you want your product to look/taste like.
Decide your supplier type
You'll want to identify the type of supplier you are looking for.
Here are some questions you may want to ask yourself prior to searching for a supplier
- Are you looking for a manufacturer to produce your product idea?
- Do you want to find a supplier that can simply purchase existing products for you?
- Do you want a drop-shipper to supply and fulfill orders?
- Do you want a domestic supplier or an overseas supplier? Read more about the pros and cons of each here
A great place to start is by simply searching in google for healthy snacks suppliers.
Manufacturing Your Product In House
It's also very common to manufacture your healthy snacks on your own - either from your home or in a commercial space.
In order to get the product right, you may want to consider experimenting with different designs and recipes until you find the perfect one.
Some founders choose to manufacture their product in-house so that they can control quality, manage costs, and easily handle production/logistics.
Down the road, you can always choose to outsource your healthy snacks.
How To Price Your Healthy Snacks
One of the most challenging and critical pieces to starting your healthy snack food business is determining how much to charge for your healthy snacks
When businesses under-price their product, this can be extremely detrimental to their bottom line and reputation.
Often times, businesses under-price their products to drive demand and volume, but that last thing you want is for customers to view your product/service as "cheap." Additionally, this can have a big impact on the type of customer you attract, which can be difficult to recover from.
On the other hand, when businesses over-price, this tends to be just as damaging to the business.
When customers buy, it's likely that they will explore the internet and look at other competitors to ensure they're getting the best value + deal. This is why it's so important that you research your competition and understand where you land in the marketplace.
Here are some factors to consider when pricing your product:
Understand your customer
It's important that out of the gates, you identify the type of customer you want to attract and how much they're willing to pay for your service. One great way to do this is by surveying your customers. Here are some important items you'll want to takeaway:
- Customer demographic: Age, gender, location, etc.
- Buying habits of your customer: What they buy + when they buy
- Level of price sensitivity with your customer
All of these segments will help you identify the type of customer you're attracting and how to price your product accordingly.
Understand your costs
When pricing your healthy snacks, it's critical that you first identify all of your costs and consequently mark up your healthy snacks so you can factor in a profit.
The actual cost of your healthy snacks may include things like:
- The actual cost to make the product (ie. raw materials, supplies, manufacturer).
- Shipping + overhead fees
- Rent
- Operating costs to run your business
You may want to consider creating a spreadsheet with every single expense involved in operating/owning your business. This will give you an idea as to what you need to generate in order to at the very least, break-even and will help you price your products to factor in a profit.
Create revenue goals
When determining the price of your healthy snacks, you'll want to create goals for revenue + how much profit you want your healthy snack food business to make.
This process is simpler than you may think:
- Think about your breakeven cost (by completing the above step).
- Create a revenue goal based off of your break-even cost
- Evaluate the # of items you plan to sell in a given period (make sure this is a realistic number)
- Divide your revenue goal by the number of items you plan to sell
This figure will help determine your estimated price per product in order to meet your revenue goals.
Evaluate your competition
The last piece in determining how to price your healthy snacks is by simply looking at your competition.
The best way to do this is by finding like-minded businesses that offer product(s) with similar perceived value. Then, you can compare prices of the different businesses and determine where your healthy snacks fits best in the marketplace.
All of these factors play an equal part in pricing your healthy snacks, so it's important you evaluate each one individually to come up with an accurate price that will help optimize your business from the start.
Lauren Costanza, founder of Bluminary provides us with a detailed spreadsheet of all of her costs associated with running her business:
I knew this would be a self-funded adventure, and I set aside $3,000. During the first three months, I had a detailed spreadsheet where I tracked where the money was going and what was going toward products versus researching and developing new products.
The spreadsheets involved columns and rows of numbers to craft a budget and gain an understanding of how much would need to be invested at each stage of the process - from gathering supplies to building a website, and shipping materials.
🚀 How To Launch Your Healthy Snack Food Business
Build A Website
Building a website is imperative when launching your business, and with the right tools in place, this can be a simple task to check off the list (without having to hire someone).
- Pick a domain name that's easy to remember and easy to type
- Choose a Web Hosting Plan (ie. Shopify, Squarespace)
- Make sure you choose the right theme and design
- Implement the proper page structure (ie. about page, contact page, pricing etc)
To learn more about how to build a stellar website with little stress, we give you all the details on this step-by-step guide.
Founder, Marc Debnam on recommending Shopify
The best move we did was to switch to the Shopify platform in 2016. Everything became simple.
Shopify is an easy to use software with great add-on apps so you can build your ecommerce business exactly how you like it.
And it intergrates with our accounting and logistics platforms. Xero, Auspost, DHL. As well as most sales and marketing channels.
It freed up so much time working in the business, allowing us time to focus on growth and brand awareness.
With my basic technical skills, I built a great site. The one we still have. I experiment with apps that just plug in and if they add that's great if they don't we move on.
Traditional Launch Strategies (that work)
There are various different ways you can launch your healthy snack food business successfully.
Here are a few different strategies to get customers excited about your healthy snack food business:
- Set up a Facebook page for your business. This is a great way to establish an online presence
- Host an event in a fun location with drinks & food. This is a great way to get exposure in the local community.
- Get Press! Pitch your story to the media and you may just land in an amazing publication
- Live sales to get customers excited
- Send a hand-written letter in the mail with a discount on your services to the local community/neighborhoods.
Cameron Manesh, founder of Cameron's Seafood was able to land in the New York Times just by sending a cold email:
I started calling all the large newspapers pitching their food critics, their startup business writers and even pitched the angle of immigrant-run companies.
My first hit was with the New York Times. "I googled "New York Times Food" and learned Florence Fabricant was their critic. I then googled "Florence Fabricant email" and asked her to sample our food."
I read she is a stern critic so we were worried but to our surprise she loved the food and when the article came out we did close to $40,000 in sales in three days and could barely handle the volume. That was an intense week but made it happen.
To read the exact email we sent to get in the NY Times, check out the full story ➡ here
To contact the press, I recommend:
- Targeting macro press (i.e. USA Today).
- Google indirect competitors or vertical companies (ie. Hello Fresh) to see who wrote their articles
- Google the writers contact info and send an email introducing company
- Offer samples, be personal, discuss your food, follow up!
Make Sure You Get The Package Design Right
The way you package your healthy snack food business is often the first impression your customer has - so it's important to get it right.
You may want to ask yourself these questions:
If my product is on a shelf next to hundreds of other similar products:
- Will my healthy snack food business stand out?
- Will the branding/packaging create a connection with my customer, and hence, lead them to buy?
There are hundreds of tools you can use to help with packaging and design:
- Canva - Allows non-designers to create beautiful Instagram/Pinterest posts, flyers, business cards, etc.
- Stickermule - High quality custom stickers you can include on or in your packaging.
- Noissue - Custom tissue paper and compostable mailers
- Rollo Label Printer - A great tool to print all shipping labels at home
Packaging and Design Example
Louisa Bakker, founder of Funky Fat Foods altered the packaging of her product based on a customer review:
We received feedback that the taste, packaging, and branding were all things that could be improved.
We have this memorable moment where I sent the MVP bars to this lovely famous keto couple called Keto Connect, hoping to receive their honest feedback by email.
Little did I know that their review would be uploaded on their Youtube channel (last year among their 400k subscribers now its doubled). It went viral, but they weren't impressed with the product.
In the end, I want to create the best high-fat snacks. I want people to enjoy their active life eating good food. All the feedback, good and bad, served as extra energy to take back to R&D, improve the product, and, at the same time, rethink the overall strategy.

A before and after shot of our packaging.
Consider Selling On Amazon
In addition to selling your products directly on your site, you may want to consider selling on Amazon to reach a wider audience and attract new customers.
Here are some pros and cons of selling on amazon:
- Easy and seamless process to get your product listed on Amazon
- There are roughly 100 million thoroughly committed prime customers, so you're bound to tap into new business
- Can help grow your business exponentially and reach new audiences
- You may encounter some "copycats" and counterfeit products
- Amazon owns the relationship with the customer (you lose control over product reviews + customer service)
- If you already have a low-markup, amazon may not wrth your while and you could end up losing money
- Commissions and listing fees are high - it's easy to lose control of your offering
Follow these instructions to get your product listed on Amazon
Selling On Amazon: Sheath Example
Amazon has also been a great platform for us to gain new customers as well as offering options to our existing customers who take advantage of Amazon prime.
The annual growth in Amazon sales is less noticeable, however, as we have much less control over it compared to our other sales channels.
In fact, our Amazon growth has been relatively stagnant the past few years, but we are actively developing new methods to rectify that.
We hope to one day have amazon rivaling sheathunderwear.com in sales, the current goal being $1 million sales monthly on each platform.
📈 How To Grow Your Healthy Snack Food Business
Build A Blog
One of the most effective ways to build brand awareness and grow your business is through consistently blogging.
We've outlined some useful tips for you to consider when creating content:
Consistency and Quantity
Quality is important, but it should be the standard for any content you publish.
What's more important is consistency and quantity.
Consistency is as simple as committing to publishing and sharing a certain number of posts per week. For me, that's three per week right now.
This kind of commitment is key, because one day, a random post will blow up, and you will have never expected it.
The easiest mind trap is to think "I'm posting too much", and "I need to give my readers/audience/this platform a break".
This is nonsense.
There is no such thing as oversaturation. Well, there is, but it is just someone else's opinion.
For every person that tells you you are posting too much, there is another person that wants even more of your content.
You should ignore people's opinions on how much you post.
Patience & Persistence
Keep posting, keep trying, and keep putting out good content on the regular. Your time will come, and when it does, it will change everything.
The only thing you have control over is your content.
You can't control how people will react to it. You can't control pageviews, likes, or shares.
So the only metric you should focus on is how much content you can put out in a week, month, etc.
Where to share your blog content
Mailing List
I know it sounds obvious, but the best places to share your content is on your mailing list. It is guaranteed traffic and it is a great way to get rapid feedback from your most loyal readers.
Send newsletters often. I have done once a week since starting, and I'm moving to twice a week soon.
Work on increasing your mailing list as well. Look into ways to increase your conversion rate to your mailing list. I added a flyout popup thing to my site and now I'm collecting ~30 emails per day.
An email newsletter is one of the most powerful assets you can have and it is worth its weight in gold.
Reddit is one of my favorite places to promote content.
It is a very scary place because you will often get banned or heckled, but it can really pay off.
Create social media accounts for your blog, the main ones I use:
Twitter Facebook Instagram LinkedIn
Set up Buffer and share all of your blog posts to all of your accounts. All of these little shares really do add up.
Automate this as much as possible. I automated all of my social media for Starter Story.
Facebook Groups
When I started out, I put together a spreadsheet of relevant Facebook groups for my niche, and I would post to these groups whenever I had a big story I wanted to share.
Add an exit-intent popup to your online store
A great way to double, or even triple, your email opt-in rate and to grow your list is to add an exit-intent popup to your site, and offering a discount or content upgrade for subscribers.
Here's an example of what that might look like:
One thing that I spent years NOT doing, that I now kick myself about, is adding an "exit intent pop-up" to our site, which lets people enter a sweepstakes to win a Xero Shoes gift certificate.
That one idea has added over 100,000 subscribers to our email list, which is one of our most effective marketing channels.
Improve Your Email Marketing
Different types of emails
Here are the most common types of email campaigns you can send to your customers and their benefits:
- Welcome emails - the perfect way to provide information from the start with a clear CTA. Make sure to tell your customer everything they need to know about your product or service.
- Newsletters - a great way to give customers updates or send out your latest content
- Product launch emails - the quickest (and easiest) way to increase sales is by selling to current customers. Make sure they're the first on the list to know about your new product
- Promotional emails - promote discounts, deals coupons etc. Try and make this feel exclusive and for a limited time only
- Abandoned cart emails - give your customers a reason to complete their purchase!
Here's a great resource for finding curated email designs, for all types of email campaigns!
Newsletter Example - Food Industry Tips and Tricks
We have a lot of content to share and it is very well received. Most clients need to see your brand a few times before they purchase, and email is great for that. Email is also an effective reminder for past clients to order again.
We have close to 5000 subscribers and we aim for 2 emails per month. Most of our subscriptions came through the website.
So far we have been focusing on practical life hacks and tips on how to stay focused and disciplined. Many of our subscribers are past clients that took a break.
Our open rates are good, we're averaging 24% - 53%, much higher than the 10% industry average. We need to work on our click rates which are at around 1.2%.
Here's a look at one of our email newsletters. Here's another one.
Social Media Advertising
Social Media Advertising is one of the leading ways to get the word out when it comes to healthy snack food business.
There are various different Social Media platforms available to you. Some may be more critical for your marketing efforts than others, however, it's important to have an understanding of what's out there and available to you.
Let's talk about a few of the main platforms and what makes them unique:
- Facebook Advertising - more than 2 billion monthly users. Facebook is the best for lead generation + capturing email addresses for e-commerce businesses.
- Instagram Advertising - approximately 500 million monthly users and has a higher audience engagement rate than any other platform. Instagram ads are best for linking to a product page or landing page and reaches the 18-29 age group most effectively.
- Twitter Advertising- Small businesses typically use twitter ads to drive brand awareness, but the platform is meant more for organic engagement (and is not as heavily used for paid advertising)
- Pinterest Advertising - 175 million monthly users and most effectively reaches the female audience. Pinterest is great for promoting products without "promoted". The promoted pins have a way of blending right in.
- LinkedIn Advertising - 227 million monthly users and is geared towards the B2B market and generates the highest quality leads. Great platform for recruiters, high-end products and services that will help businesses
It's important to first define your goal/objective so that you don't waste time and money into the wrong platform:
Here are some different questions to ask yourself as it relates to your goals:
- Do I want to simply drive brand awareness?
- Do I want to drive users to my website to gather information?
- Do I want to increase sales and get my customer to take action?
From there, choose the platform that targets your audience best and start experimenting!

Founder Andy Hayes talks about mastering FB ads and the pixel:
The biggest bang for your buck will likely be mastering Facebook and it's platform - which we all know is pay for play, so you'll have to come up with a small amount of budget to start for marketing.
We've spent countless hours (and paid numerous coaches) before we cracked the code that works for us on Facebook, but it is working really well for us now.
Some of the most important things to know when it comes to FB Ads:
- Start with retargeting (that's showing ads to people who already know you but did not purchase). Master this - and start building information on your Facebook Pixel - before you do anything else
- Once you have that down, try working with the 1% "Lookalike" audience to prospect for new customers. This may take awhile because your pixel audience is small, so try layering on interests - 1% Lookalike and your largest competitor, for example. Don't use interest-only targeting until you master this.
- Great photography and videography is key, as is smart copy. Research what's out there in your industry and constantly test - what works for one company may not work for other people.
- Make sure you have good offers. For example, we have a $5 trial for our subscription, which converts affordably - if we promoted our subscription with the standard $30 front charge, it wouldn't be as cost-effective.
Consider Working With Instagram Influencers
Partnering with like-minded influencers (within your industry) is one of the most effective ways to grow your social media organically.
Industry influencers already have an established and loyal following. With one post, your product immediately establishes a connection with a brand new audience. It's that powerful.
When finding influencers to promote your product, do your research and make sure that their following will actually be interested in your product.
It's easy to be blinded by any influencer with a huge following, but if those followers don't resonate with your product, there may not be any value there... so make sure you do your research!
Evan Marshall, founder of Plain Jane discusses how "micro-influencers" have impacted his business:
Influencer marketing has been huge for us. Our approach is pretty simple. We give out samples of our products and ask people to post about us on social media aka a micro-influencer strategy.
We really like this approach because we get authentic stories and content. We cannot really control the messaging so the product has to speak for itself. We don't really take product photos at all. Our customers take the photos and we ask to reuse them.
With any influencer strategy, you have to be very sure you're targeting the right people and engaging with them. You can make sure you're targeting the right influencers by looking through their posts and then looking through the profiles of their engaged followers.
It takes more time per influencer but the payoff is certainly worth it. Make sure their followers look like your existing customers.
It takes a ton of time and work to grow a social media following this way but it's worth it. Other accounts have tried to grow themselves through botting or other manipulations. As a CBD company, we didn't want to give Instagram any reason to shutdown our account so we've done everything through content and real engagement. It's not magic to make this happen. You just have to post consistently and then reply or like every single comment you get. It takes months but it works
🏃 How To Run A Healthy Snack Food Business
Host A Social Media Giveaway
People love free stuff and love competition. Giveaways and contests are a great way to create awareness for your brand, grow your email list, and eventually convert leads into customers.
If your goal is to gather email addresses, make sure the entry criteria is to "enter your email." You can do this by leading customers to your landing page where they can then enter their email to be in the giveaway.
One of the most important aspects of promoting a successful giveaway is having an amazing prize. The better the prize, the more engagement you'll get.
This doesn't necessarily mean choosing an iPad or an expensive/trendy watch, but instead a prize that is actually relevant to your brand/target audience.
Provide Great Customer Service
Providing exceptional care and creating relationships with clients is a great way to build your reputation and retain customers.
Whether you are an online business or a physical business, it's highly important to communicate with customers and make them feel like they are the priority.
Just remember: customer service represents your brand, values, vision and YOU as a person.
Lousia with Funky Fat Foods states just how important their customer service is:
We're consumer-focused and take care of our customers as quickly and correctly as possible.
I believe what is also working for us, is our customer service and the relationships we have created with them.
Even today we see huge support from Instagram, as you can talk directly to your (potential) customers all over the world. Basically, just ask them what kind of content they're interested in, and always reply to their questions.
We've recently started sharing our struggles and learnings via IG stories and see a growth in our engagement. We try to stay in as much contact with our followers as possible and strive to create good and engaging content through social media. As a result, we have been steadily growing our follower base organically.
We also run contests on Instagram in collaboration with other brands and send our bars to micro-influencers, which really help to increase awareness of the brand but there is still a lot of room to grow in this area.
How To Retain Customers
Retaining customers is one of the most effective ways to grow your healthy snack food business.
Often times, it's easy to find yourself focusing on generating new customers, vs retaining your current ones.
Look at it this way - you are 60-70% more likely to sell a new product to an existing customer, than you are a new customer.
That's not to say that finding new customers and revenue streams is not important, however, the easiest (and most inexpensive) source of new revenue is right there in front of you.
Here are some ways you can retain customers for your healthy snack food business:
- Responding to comments on social media
- Send discounts (or freebies) to loyal customers
- Provide valuable content, for free
- Write hand written thank you notes
- Provide awesome customer service and build relationships with customers

Milan could reportedly rival Napoli for Sardar Azmoun this summer, but Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic remains their priority.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan have shortlisted Azmoun, who has scored 14 goals in 29 games for Zenit St Petersburg this season and could be available for €25m.
However, it is warned they face competition from Napoli, who have already carried out negotiations for the 25-year-old.
Furthermore, La Gazzetta writes Jovic is still the Rossoneri's preferred target to reinforce their attack.
Although Madrid paid €60m for the Serbian last year, the newspaper expects them to accept a reduced fee in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

Race and Fear – the new tools of the scamdemic and the socialist scum attempting to undo centuries of Western Civilization… A new study from England. nothing in this is new.
"An analysis of more than 17 million people in England — the largest study of its kind, according to its authors — has pinpointed a bevy of factors that can raise a person's chances of dying from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.
The paper, published Wednesday in Nature, echoes reports from other countries that identify older people, men, racial and ethnic minorities, and those with underlying health conditions among the more vulnerable populations. "
If you're 80 or very sick you die, but it is actually LESS deadly than the seasonal flu. But they still refuse to say it. Stay at home makes the plague WORSE – especially for the poor crammed into small spaces. Nursing homes, send a Covid positive patient in there and give the residents a death sentence. That's exactly what Cuomo and 3 other Dem governors did, and why a third of all US deaths for the Plague are in the NE corridor. Race, oh yes, let's not forget that the poor are crammed together in small spaces, grandpa and grandma more likely to die with so many chances to be exposed. The virus dies in minutes outside in the sun by lives for days inside, so what does the Ruling Class tell us – Stay inside and live! Wrong, stay inside and die! And those with diabetes from lousy diets, yes, they go too – whether you're black, brown, white or green, stay inside and eat high fat lousy food and your chances of contracting the virus go up and if your immune system is compromised by lousy diet, drugs, etc., you die! Diet or race…take your pick, you say for most things like intelligence it is not genetic so it must be diet…and environment..right?

Secluded Eco Dome in Dark Sky Ordinance Territory, Texas
"If you are looking to disconnect and truly enjoy nature for all it's worth, this is the place. We lucked out in the middle of Summer with much cool..."
Glamping in Texas with eco domes in Dark Sky Ordinance Territory
Three lucky guests can be accommodated in this unique eco dome rental in the Dark Sky Ordinance Territory of Texas. Inside, there is one large double bed and the pallet sofa sleeps an additional guest quite comfortably. It's made of adobe to keep guests sheltered from heat, cold, wind, and rain, and it also has a small propane heater. Linens and a duvet are provided for the double bed but guests should bring their linens and pillow for the pallet sofa. Outside, there is a composting toilet in a separate outhouse.
The entire dome is solar powered. The kitchen has a propane stove and oven, as well as a refrigerator. The sink pumps rainwater that is collected and thus should be used modestly. The water from the sink is not potable. Conveniently, Wi-Fi is provided throughout the luxury dome.
At night the stars are crystal clear, and in the morning the sunrises are completely unobstructed. Couples or solo travelers will enjoy complete seclusion, but they are also conveniently located near Big Bend National Park and more.
Glampers will find the rental equipped with everything necessary to relax in style. Guests may choose to take a solar bag shower in the great outdoors at this glamping site, but if they prefer a conventional shower there are multiple coin shower options within a 25-minute drive.

stages through which men successively pass in the 1 bigher progress of society. The first and earliest is the life
of hunters; pasturage succeeds to this, as the ideas of m;s:ve mest property begin to take root; next agriculture; and

Pasturage was not indeed wholly unknow! unknown; for we hear of dividing the herd in the case Loving, who of a divorce; but the allusions to herds and to cattle emplores are not many; and of agriculture we find no traces.

The description of cu

house of a chief, and each of them separately giving his description of the night. The night scenery is beautiful; and the author has plainly imitared the style and manner of Ossian : but he has allowed some images, to appear, which betray a later period of society. For we ineet with windows clapping, the herds of goats: and cows seeking shelter, the shepherd wandering, cora on the plain, and the wakeful hind rebuilding the shocks of corn which had been overturned by the tempest. Whereas, in Ossian's works, from beginning to end, all is consistent ; no modern allusion drops from him ; but everywhere, the same face of rude nature appears; a country wholly uncuitivated, thinly inhabitéd, and recently peopled. The grass of the rock, the flower of tlie heath, the thistle with its beard, are the chief ornaments of his landscapes. " The desart," says Fingal, " is enough to me, with all its woods and 66 deer."
The circle of ideas and transactions, is no wider than suits such an age : nor any great diversity introduced into characiers, than the events of that period would necessarily display. Valour and bodily strength are the admired qualities. Contentions arise, as is usual among stvage nations, from the slightest causes. To be affronted at a tournament, or to be omitted in the invitation to a feast, kindles a war. Women are often carried away by force; and the whole tribe, as in the Homeric times, rise to avenge the wrong. The heroes show refinement of sentiment, indeed, on several occasions, but none of manners. They speak of their past actions with freedom, boast of their exploits, and sing their own praise. In their battles, it is evident thai drums, trumpets, or bay-pipes, were not known or used. They had no expedient for giving the military alarms, but striking a shield, or raising a loud cry. And hence the loud and terrible voice of Fingal is often mentioned, as a necessary qualification of a great general, like the four a'yados Mevsaccos of Homer. Of military discipline or sh in they appear to have been entirely destitute. Their armies seem not to have
been numerous ; their battles were disorderly, and terminated, for the most part, by a personal combat, or wrestling, of the two chiefs; after which, " the bard " sung the song of peace, and the battle ceased along " the field."
The manner of composition bears all the marks of the greatest antiquity. No artful transitions, nor full and extended connection of parts ; such as we find among the poets of later times, when order and regularity of composition were more studied and known; but a style always rapid and vehement; in narration concise even to abruptness, and leaving several circum. stances to be supplied by the reader's imagination. The language has all that figurative cast, which, as I before shewed, partly a glowing and undisciplined imagination, partly the sterility of language, and the want of proper terms, have always introduced into the early speech of nations; and in several respects, it carries a remarkable resemblance to the style of the Old Testament. It deserves particular notice, as one of the most genuine and decisive characters of antiquity, that very few general terms, or abstract ideas, are to be met with in the whole collection of Ossian's works. The ideas of men, at first, were all particular. They had not words to express general conceptions. These were the consequence of more profound reflection, and longer acquaintance with the arts of thought and of speech. Ossian, accordingly, almost never expresses himself in the abstract. His ideas extended little farther than to the objects he saw around him. A public, a community, the universe, were conceptions beyond his sphere. Even a mountain, a sea, or a lake, which he has occasion to mention, though only in a simile, are for the most part particularised; it is the hill of Cromla, the storm of the sea of Malmor, or the reeds of the lake of Lego--a mode of expression, which, whilst it is characteristical of ancient ages, is at the same time highly favourable to descriptive poetry. For the same reasons, personification is a poetical figure not very common with Ossian. Inanimate objects
such as winds, trees, flowers, he sometimes personifies with great beauty. But the personifications which are so familiar to later poets, of Fame, Time, Terror, Virtue, and the rest of that class, were unknown to our Celtic bard. These were modes of conception too abstract for his age.
All these are marks so undoubted, and some of them too so nice and delicate, of the most early times, as put the high antiquity of these poems out of question : especially when we consider, that if there had been any imposture in this case, it must have been contrived and executed in the Highlands of Scotland, two or three centuries ago; as, up to this period, both by manuscripts, and by the testimony-of a multitude of living witnesses, concerning the incontrovertible tradition of these poems, they can be clearly traced. Now, this is a period when that country enjoyed no advantages for a composition of this kind, which it may not be supposed to have enjoyed in as great, if not in a greater degree, a thousand years before. To suppose that two or three hundred years ago, when we well know the Highlands to have been in a state of gross ignorance and barbarity, there should have arisen in that country a poet, of such exquisite genius, and of such deep knowledge of inankind, and of history, as to divest himself of the ideas and manners of his own age, and to give us a just and natural picture of a state of society ancienter by a thousand years ; one who could support this counterfeited antiquity through such a large collection of poems, without the least inconsistency; and who, possessed of all this genius and art, had, at the same time, the self-denial of concealing himself, and of ascribing his own works to ari antiquated · bard, without the imposture being detected; is a supposi. tion that transcends all bounds of credibility.
There are, besides, two other circumstances to be attended to, still of greater weight, if possible, against this hypothesis. One is, the total absence of religious ideas from this work; for which the translator bas, in
5 preface, given a very probable account, on the
intages et ot be:
s peros' footing of its being the work of Ossian. The druidi. 18 Wheepcal superstition was, in the days of Ossian, on the me, 15 point of its final extinction; and for particular reasons, inkno: odious to the family of Fingal; whilst the Christian !ception
faith was not yet established. But had it been the
work of one, to whom the ideas of Christianity were me o te
familiar from his infancy, and who had superadded to is time them also the bigotted superstition of a dark age and of quests country; it is impossible but, in some passage or other, id beert the traces of them would have appeared. The other nitrivec
circumstance is, the entire silence which reigns with ro or respect to all the great clans, or families, which are
by na now established in the Highlands. The origin of these le of several clans is known to be very ancient : and it is as traditio well known, that there is no passion by which a naow, tative Highlander is more distinguished, than by attach
ment to his clan, and jealousy for its honour. That a
Highland bard, in forging a work relating to the antia grey quities of his country, should have inserted no circuin
Stance which pointed out the rise of his clan, which ascertained its antiquity. or increased its glory, 15 of an, suppositions that can be formed, the most impro. bable ; and the silence on this head amounts to a de
monstration that the author lived before any of the to de present great clans were formed or known.
uming it then, as we well may, for certain, that
poeis now under consideration, are genuine veneSadie monuments of very remote antiquity ; I proceed
some remarks upon their general spirit and strain
The two great characteristics of Ossian's poetry thau are, tendern
bilderness and sublimity. It breathes nothing e gay and cheerful kind; an air of solemnity and whess is diffused over the whole. Ossian is per
only poet who never relaxes, or lets himself he light and amusing strain ; which I rea
be no small disadvantage to him, with eaders. He moves perpetually in the high
grand and the patietic. One key-20te " beginning, and supported to the end; ornament introduced but what is perfectly
