54. Eric Bandholz: Building BeardBrand’s Organic Marketing Machine
Manage episode 355549663 series 3443132
It’s a huge honor to have a legend of the eCommerce space join us on the podcast this week Eric Bandholz.
Eric launched BeardBrand in 2012 in order to scratch his own itch and has since built it into one of the leading beard product brands in the world.
The real driver of success behind BeardBrand is its monstrous organic marketing efforts.
With over 2million YouTube subs, 600k TikTok followers and 1m+ monthly blog readers, BeardBrand drives almost all of its sales through organic channels.
In this episode Eric broke down how they started with each channel, and the approach you should take too, even if you’re a small brand just getting started.
We also finished up talking about how to find meaningful balance as an entrepreneur in the middle of hustle culture.
Enjoy!
