With celebrities bringing out their own vegan ranges and many major fashion brands now embracing exotic materials like cactus leather, the global vegan fashion marketplace is projected to be worth 1 trillion US dollars by 2027.But this growth may not be coming from where you think it is.

2021-09-1537 minVegan Business Tribe Podcast044 - Is it time to ditch 'plant-based'?Should we stop using the term 'plant-based' when talking about our businesses and products? Many vegan companies avoid using 'the V word' to describe themselves in fear it might put off non-vegan customers. But recently, Matthew Glover of Vegan Fried Chicken said VFC were banning the phrase 'plant-based' in their marketing because they are "vegan activists first and food producers second". Many consumers are now actively looking for 'vegan' products even though they may not fully understand the term. In this episode, David looks at how the Covid pandemic and the very visible impact of climate change...

Emailing marketing can produce a reliable stream of new customers, but not if you go about it in the wrong way. You can't just email a bunch of people and expect them to buy your product, even if you are a vegan company selling to other vegans - it just doesn't work like that. Instead, email marketing allows you to take people who have an interest in your product (else they wouldn't be on your mailing list in the first place!) and build trust and familiarity to nurture these people towards becoming customers...

Chocolate giant Cadbury recently caused an uproar amongst vegans when they updated the ingredients list on their 'Bournville Giant Chocolate Buttons' to include milk. We've seen a number of companies change their recipes and make an 'accidentally vegan' product no longer vegan, but the mystery here is that Cadbury says they haven't changed the actual recipe of the product - the milk has always been there due to heavy cross-contamination from the other products they make.So what's actually going on at Cadbury? What made them now decide to disclose the milk...

Of course not, so why do we treat ourselves this way?It's easy to get stuck in the trap of working longer and longer hours until you get to the point where you feel that you can't carry on, but you can't afford to take time out to recharge either.

The testing they did to find the thing that they could scale, how they interacted with their early customers and the mindset of being open to following opportunities and going where the business took them (not to mention making the connections needed to be in the right place when those opportunities came along in the first place).In today's session, we...

Lots of the words, phrases and metaphors we use in business - without even realising it - have some very non-vegan origins. Have you ever talked about 'killing two birds with one stone' when talking with a customer? Or should we be comfortable talking about our 'brand' when the term originates from plunging a red-hot implement into the side of an animal to mark ownership of it?Our choice of language in business is powerful because it normalises behaviour and attitudes. And because the language we use controls our narrative as a culture...

But following taking investment from a global investment fund with a checkered history, and after being criticised for taking heavy-handed legal action against small family-run competitors, many of the company's fans have become increasingly unhappy.So what's the truth about what's been going on at Oatly?

Before the pandemic, half of all UK adults already said they had adopted some form of vegan buying behaviour - such as having meat-free days or choosing plant milk over dairy. But a recent survey by The Vegan Society also found that 1 in 5 people in the UK cut down on eating meat as a result of the pandemic, supercharging the plant-based sector even further. We know that Covid-19 is a zoonotic disease, or rather it is a disease transferred from animals, usually as a result of eating them...

Why do we have such a revulsion to selling ourselves? Being vegan, we're not usually afraid to push a cause - but promoting ourselves or making money from the vegan sector seems to really make us feel uncomfortable. Your experience of 'sales' is probably someone trying to pressure you to buy something that you were not really sure you needed or even wanted - but that's not sales, at the best that's scamming people.

If you are trying to get your business 'out there' then sometimes the best way to do that is to literally 'get out there'. For some companies, vegan fairs are one of their main routes of selling their products to the public, others do it to build an audience, but one of the main reasons to do your local fair is to get real one-on-one engagement with customers that you won't get anywhere else.
