What is the podcast?
We started the Solve KYC: Know Your Customers podcast to give a behind the scenes look at how some of the best consumer focused entrepreneurs succeed. We’re not just focused on inspiring stories, we want to help share insights and tips of how they’ve built their businesses and ultimately succeed.
Highlights from the episode
1. Be a mission based company
Éva who has 78,000 followers on Instagram, and previously ran social media and HR for New York online clothing darling Everlane, definitely knows about community building and the role of quality content.
“It’s not that sexual wellness brands before us were offering terrible product, but they weren’t appealing to the value of their consumer”
2. Do your damn homework
Éva attributes Maude’s success to having conducted extensive market research, leveraging data and ultimately focusing on serving her customers.
“It’s not about you as the founder, it’s about the industry and the opportunity to serve the customer … just do your damn homework!”
3. Understand your buying cycles
Maude’s customers have an almost even gender split and ranges from ages 21 to above 40, yet their messaging is consistent across cohorts. So what matters to Éva?
“It’s not selling the brand with different terms, it’s just selling at different times. It’s not about changing our messaging per customer cohort, it’s about timing”
