I've tested my ice cream with several people and most of them mentioned that they my yogurt ice cream thing tasted as good or even better (because it contained the healthy yogurt element) as the other ice cream mentioned above.
The problem I'm facing is differentiating my brand from the rest.
Solution: instead of competing on price, I compete on exclusivity. I've came up with this solution to make mine really really exclusive. Only members/cardholders plus a guest are allowed to enter the shop. The guest then is given the option to join the shop's membership. For the opening, 100 people(chosen very carefully to ensure that they fit our target customer characteristics) would be given special invites where from there it's up to them to invite their friends and then their friends will be given the option to join.
By doing so, I'm cutting down on advertising but focusing a lot more on PR. Hence giving the brand a certain prestige and a stronger positioning.
I've shared this with several friends and I've gotten mixed reviews. So for now, I'll just need your thoughts. What do you think? Have this been done anywhere around the world before? Pros and cons of this?
