We set targets and we’re already at over 200% of those targets. It’s only very early Spring and we’ve already achieved our yearly targets and we thought they were fairly ambitious goals. Now we’re exploring additional staff. The team at Basic Bananas are great. I’m even happy to take calls from anyone considering joining their program.

Since I started with Basic Bananas, the business has doubled in terms of turnover, and we’re on track to do another 50% growth in our third year working with Basic Bananas, and that’s come from implementing the marketing strategies that we’ve learned. It’s had a big impact on our business.

I didn’t feel like my business was big enough to work with you, however being able to look at my business through a framework has been invaluable. The information is fantastic, whether it’s how to get free press or the latest in online advertising, the technical information is amazing and connecting with the little community is what inspires me. Learning the latest hot tips and the environment that you facilitate that within is really positive and that’s what keeps me coming back.

Our business was at a point where it was make or break, so we decided to join the Basic Bananas Clever Bunch program and we’re already seeing direct results. It’s more than paying for itself, just the increase from last month’s sales has paid for the entire yearly fees for both of us. I wish we did it two and a half years ago when I first found basic bananas. We’ve made many changes to our online marketing and how we offer our products, this has been really outstandingly successful. If you’re thinking abouBasic Bananas, do it. If you’re wondering about it … just do it. It’s great we get the lessons and we can contact them for advice on anything.

We don’t have thousands of dollars to spend on marketing, so we’ve got to be really clever with how we go about it…taking the stuff I learn from you guys we made 40% of our usual annual turnover in one month!
