Welcome to DTC Podcast, I'm Eric Dyck. Today's podcast is with Brandon Horoho, CMO and Co-founder of Montana Knife Company, makers of high quality steel hunting and now culinary knives.
Knives being a restricted category on all ad platforms means Brandon's had to be very strategic to drive the 1600% growth since starting the business with Master Bladesmith Josh Smith in 2020. This podcast breaks down his product focused drop strategy, in which every week is planned out over a year in advance across all channels.
You'll learn:
What someone has to do to become a bladesmith...yes it involves cutting things!
The secrets behind why the average MKC customer has 2.5 knives
And you'll hear the ins and outs of an 8 figure product drop model, along with the challengers of selling to hunters this way...
And lots more!
Ready to sharpen your blade? on with the show!
