So, you know, obviously, we're going to dive into some juicy markets and stuff, right? But if someone doesn't know, you know, the chocolate side, and you know, you have the agency side, you mind just giving a quick overview to everyone on what you guys do?
What email marketing strategies helped grow their subscriber list?
Of course, happy to start. So the chocolate business started as a fun on the side business. The chocolate maker or producer is an Austrian, very famous Austrian chocolate maker. And we knew them for 20 years already. And they are working with our agency for 22 years now. And when Andy and I immigrated to the United States, we missed the chocolate, really.
African chocolate is not the same.
How do influencer collaborations drive sales?
Right, right. And then we started talks with the owner and said, how about us starting importing Zotto chocolates to the United States and selling it? And that was like 10, actually exactly 10 years ago. And then we just started. I thought, oh, let's start with 20 flavors. And the owner, Joseph Zotto, said, no way. We make like 500 flavors. So we started with 90. We knew we can't do it out of our home. We needed a warehouse. And this is how it started.
Right. And then Andy, you obviously help, right? And you help with the business and maybe even some of the chocolate.
What challenges did they face with brand loyalty?
Right. I have been eating. Obviously, we have to test the chocolate at some point before we bring them to the market.
Of course, that's very important. Right. Business, but also your agency.
Yeah. So our agency, we are, our part, the agency is responsible for all of the technical stuff. Okay. So everything, the e-commerce side, the technical side, that's what the agency does. Everything ad related, the agency does. And like Barbara said, our introduction to the chocolate manufacturer was actually through the agency side because we met him 20 years ago and he said, you know, I want to have an online store. And I said, I cannot imagine selling chocolate online. Oh, boy, was I wrong. Because now he's one of the strongest e-commerce stores in Europe, and all of that has been built by us.
What role does TikTok play in their marketing strategy?
And so we have got a lot of experience, obviously, because of that. And then when we came to the United States and we figured, okay, we have to do that, we took all of that knowledge we already had and put it here into place and put everything on there. Yeah.
Yeah, and, you know, so I'm excited to dive in. You know, you came, obviously you've been working with us for a couple of years and, you know, you guys, you follow instructions, you go implement stuff, you know, you're always pushing and innovating. It's been so great to watch. And, you know, obviously today we're going to focus on those tactics for everyone listening. So let's dive into, you know, obviously what you learned from me there, but I would love the practical application of how you implemented it.
How does e-commerce technology enhance user experience?
Yeah, I remember it like it was yesterday when we were at your office and you were telling us why not going after the low-hanging fruit, which is the e-commerce store, right? And then building an irresistible offer and like 50% off the regular price. And I was shocked because I wasn't ready to think about it.
