I had a client reach out in desperate need of visibility and sales to grow her CBD oil infused body cream business. Her products were so cool, new and innovative to the marketplace that I knew this would be a great opportunity for her to implement a collaboration strategy into her marketing plan.
We worked together to hone in on businesses focused on health and wellness. This was the ideal business category for her to partner with to help increase exposure and sales for her CBD products.
By collaborating with like minded businesses, the CBD oil self-care body cream company can tap into new customer bases and reach individuals who are already interested in self-care products.
This partnership can create a mutually beneficial relationship where both businesses support each other's growth and success in the health and wellness industry.
