Craft Hand Sanitizer with James Henderson

During the 2020 global pandemic, Craft Spirit Distilleries have scored surprise wins by pivoting to produce hand sanitizer. Listen to James Henderson describe a business idea that capitalizes on this fact.

Nuggets:

  • The value of the product goes beyond its functionality; for two equal quality products, the one that makes consumers feel better about themselves will win
  • The snob effect is a documented phenomenon wherein a higher price point can actually increase the demand for a product or service.
  • During a tumultuous time people who want to be perceived as doing okay may be a market for your products
  • Some Craft Distillers are making bank by producing hand sanitizer instead of spirits
  • Networking to develop one business can lead to other opportunities

Action Steps:

  1. Build a list of distillers who are currently making hand sanitizer.
  2. Contact your list and see who would list a product online and allocate stock to you.
  3. Act as an affiliate and drop ship the product.
  4. Hire a designer on Fiverr to create branded mockups for post-pandemic sanitizer packaging and marketing so you can help distilleries make this work.
  5. Market through the existing channels of the distilleries, through bars and restaurants.
  6. You might donate a portion of your proceeds to support a relevant cause.
