The Business of Food

Sometimes we get to work with purpose-driven organisations to deliver education and support to their connections. Our next program is in partnership with Whittlesea Community Connections and Mernda Neighbourhood House to women in the area that have ambitions for their own food business. Applications are open until 8 May, so feel free to share with your networks in the area and join our information sessions over the next two weeks to find out more detail about the program and the entry criteria.

Tradeshows. Who are they good for? Picking the right one often takes some reflective thinking back to your target market and your path to reach them. Over the years we've taken groups of up and coming food business owners through the initiation together. Because we can take a big space as a group, it gives much more traction than a single 2m x 2m stand that potential buyers can walk past in two steps - it also gives visitors 6 reasons to stop. Where are you spending your hard earned marketing dollars this year?

Besides our networking group there's other ways you can get some help with practical aspects of your food business - workshops! There's one coming up in person on 30th April in Highett (Melbourne) on pricing and costing your food product. We hoped to make it available online, but let's try this one first. It's one of the most asked questions we get from our programs and coaching, so we are sharing some tools and principles we know you'll find useful!
