Manage episode 352849423 series 3438632
Today on the show we have an interview with Jordan West, CEO of Mindful Marketing.
As a multi-brand owner and marketer with his own agency, Jordan shares insights with SUMO Heavy Co-founder and CEO, Bart Mroz on scaling his online audience:
- Lessons learned in the restaurant industry
- Running gated eCommerce campaigns via SMS and VIP lists
- How brands can leverage Facebook VIP Groups: how he made $250,000 of eCommerce sales in 24 hours without using Facebook ads or discounts
About Jordan:
When he was 23 he decided to buy a Taco Del Mar restaurant.
He knew he made a huge mistake at 2pm the first day when only 3 customers had walked in. (two of them were his parents)
For the next 5 years he worked hard to grow sales every way he could think of and in the end, tripled his revenue which still didn't seem to matter on the profit side. He didn’t make much.
He realized the one thing he seemed to be the best at in the restaurant endeavour was the marketing and getting people in the door.
Fast forward to 2014, his wife Carmen started a modest baby clothing line and was selling at craft markets. He tested out running a few ads on Facebook... and the rest is history. He learned every up and coming strategy and tactic and helped grow the small start-up to a multi-million dollar company and still growing.
