Cut Fruits Subscription
Apart from nature of Indian food sector, there main challenge is customer acquisition. The master plan of giving offer and discounts is better idea for short run as this will retain the customers but winning new customers is much more costly. No doubt, entrepreneurs would need to put more time and efforts on understanding the taste of audience without compromising with quality of food. Operations and logistics also plays an important role in experience that customer has. For long sustainable business and growth these startups need to offer value to the customers as in terms of quality, taste, price, service and distance/time.
Few lesson startups need to keep in mind:
Must Keep Their Brand Focused.
Be Your Own Worst Critic, Especially Early On.
Must Understand the Points of Resistance at the Front Line.
Need To Resist Growing too Fast.
Must Maintain Quality, at all cost.
A small part of technology used by a group of advance minds to create a win-win situation for everybody, this startup has for sure made its spot in the industry.
