The powder is a supplement that you would add to other foods to provide similar additional vitamins and nutrients as if you ate more vengetables. There is another manufacturer of barley grass powder on the market, which sells there product for almost twice as much as her product. Wheat grass powders provide similar benefits and are priced similar to hers, but have a much stronger (undesireable) flavor.
Most of the marketing has aimed at Japanese-Americans (and it is sold in its original Japanese package, with supplemental and legally required info in English). There are some sales to other Asian communities (Chinese-Americans and Korean-Americans) and to health conscious Americans.
I plan to look closely at her web site and see if we can improve it (better wording, get better placement on search engines, etc.).
She is considering trying to sell through Yahoo Stores or similar - anyone have experience with this?
Beyond that, I was wondering what suggestions our experts may have on steps she could take to cost effectively increase her direct to consumer sales.
My apologies - I will be away from my computer starting tomorrow for the weekend, so I may not be able to respond back quickly.
