In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Richard Kelsey from Beer Cartel. Started from a Kennard’s shed in 2009, Beer Cartel was one of the first online beer businesses in Australia. Today, they stock over 1,000 craft beers, have created a new tradition with their famous Advent Beer Calendar and just launched their equity crowdfunding where you can buy a share of the company. But even if you’re not into beer - there’s so much that Beer Cartel do differently that you can draw inspiration from. In this chat, Richard shares how they have put a focus on creating unique gifts and gifting occasions, why they have continued down a subscription and membership model and why they commission and publish their own research to be perceived as industry leaders.
