In keeping with the start of the year, we would like to look back with you at the history of “Nerdy Nuts”, an American nut puree manufacturer. 🥜
In 2019, the entrepreneurial couple started to produce peanut butter in their garage with a used grinding machine and sell it at a “Farmers Market”. Based on the feedback they received there, they were able to further develop their varieties. After a market analysis and discussions with a PR professional, the couple decided to open an online shop.
With a clever idea for the presidential election (four types of peanut butter, each representing a candidate), “Nerdy Nuts” reached the attention of Fox Business News. The result: $20,000 in sales in 48 hours. An amount that could only be managed with the help of everyone they knew.😋
The second push came with influencer marketing. “Nerdy Nuts” sent free samples to two TikTok influencers who showed the product in their videos. These videos increased sales from $27,000 to $165,000 and set a record for sales.
“Nerdy Nuts” thus perfectly demonstrates how much potential there is in TikTok marketing and ingenious PR ideas.
