A:

  • While this may be a product for children, you're actually targeting their parents. Address their concerns first -  it helps kids sleep, it's allergen-free, etc

  • If you're looking to increase sales try a 'member-get-member' promotion. Encourage engaged customers to draw other potential customers to your brand
  • Start building your exit strategy from the beginning. Partnering with like-product brands may lead to a quick acquisition when you decide it's time to leave

  • Focus on the overall design and feel of your brand. Consider the logo, typography, and archetypes, which lead to tone and personality. Your website shouldn't look like your business card

  • To increase sales in a short period of time you'll need publicity. To build PR without a huge budget, try SourceBottle. This will link you directly to journalists looking for the next big story
