Episode notes
Why Wellness Brands Lose Trust
- The wellness market is saturated and credibility erodes when brands chase every trend or flip positions.
- Consistency and clear brand purpose build trust more than opportunistic product pivots.
Verify Brands Beyond Their Website
- Vet wellness brands beyond their website: check retail presence, regulatory approval, longevity and reviews.
- Ask the brand directly and look for real-world availability to reduce risk.
Share, Don't Convince
- Don't try to convince people; share useful information and let them decide on timing.
- Avoid desperate selling because it raises guards and repels customers.
