Welcome to Inclusion and Marketing, the show that’s all about helping you win the attention, adoration, and loyalty of more consumers, especially those with differences that are often ignored by brands. I’m your host, Sonia Thompson, a marketer and someone with a lot of differences. Let’s get to it.
Life is about belonging. And because of that business is about belonging. That’s why the businesses that take the time to serve consumers from underrepresented and underserved communities are winning their attention, adoration, and loyalty. In this episode, I chatted with Jacqueline Snyder and Minna Khounlo-Sithep about how product-based businesses are winning more customers by leaning into inclusion in a manner that fits for both their business and their customers.
Key Points
- The 3 areas product-based business owners infuse inclusion into their businesses.
- Why it doesn’t matter where your brand starts in terms of the types of consumers you’re able to reach.
- Why representation matters beyond just brand and product photography.
- Why there’s no one right way to build an inclusive Brand.
- Why feedback (or complaints) are a great opportunity to identify how to become more inclusive in your Brand.
- How to be resourceful in choosing how to be more inclusive in your business.
- Why more doesn’t equal more.
