Building retail, trader and hospitality channels, and the sequencing behind the volume ramp.

Go-to-Market Strategy

Jump to section

Go-to-market is route-based: build dense delivery loops first, then fill them with repeat weekly orders

600 Buyers mapped in catchment

Marketing budget is modest (R180,000 a year): vehicle livery, tray labels, trader starter packs and local radio. The product is sold by the driver, not by advertising.

380 Contacted and sampled

250 Trial order placed

Launch (months 1–4)

One house in lay: farm-gate shop, Potchefstroom and Ikageng routes, two anchor wholesalers.

190 Active accounts

Ramp-up (months 5–9)

Klerksdorp–Jouberton and Carletonville–Khutsong routes; hospitality and NWU catering contracts.

Scale (months 10–24)

Parys and Vaal routes; independent supermarket listings with barcoded NWES packs.

165 Weekly repeat buyers

Pricing

Weekly price list pegged to the regional wholesale tray price; volume tiers for 20+ and 100+ trays.

Twelve-month account funnel (planning targets). Conversion of 32% from mapped buyer to active account reflects sampling and delivery to the door.

Retention and upsell

Fixed delivery days, returnable crates, WhatsApp ordering, credit for breakages; seconds and manure sold to the same buyers.
