I especially LOVE direct to consumer product businesses when they go against the grain to disrupt an entire industry. my guest on today’s show has done exactly that with his electric bike company he co-founded with his brother called EVELO. it is a customer-obsessed at the same time innovative electric bike company   On this episode, Boris shares how his company recently raised $750,000 from actual investors on seedinvest.com and not kickstarter or indiegogo their sales funnel why content marketing is synonymous to education (especially for high ticket products) how they use their customers as affiliates in a clever ‘ambassador referral program’ they developed and his view on why direct to consumer businesses should be 50% innovation and 50% customer experience Read the show notes for this episode on http://2xecommerce.com/podcast/ep74/    Message from Our Sponsors: This episode is brought to you by Salsify.
