The
verdict is in: Chocolate has officially gone from sinful to unstoppable. But
that's not all: Studies have come out demonstrating the health benefits of
flavanoids often contained in dark chocolate.
Sales are soaring (dark chocolate sales were
up 40 percent in 2014, and
entrepreneurial opportunities are rich with promise.
"Chocolate
is more popular today than ever before. So stop drooling and take a bite of the
action. Dark, artisanal, organic, socially responsible and nutraceutically
enhanced chocolates are especially hot varieties.
Opportunities also exist in chocolate cafes,
chocolate fountains and chocolate education, such as tastings. And you can't go
wrong with basics like chocolate snacks or a shelf-stable ganache.
"The
world of chocolate is wide open for anyone to succeed if they take the right
steps."
Getting Started
Thinking of launching your own brand of chocolate? Follow these tips:
·
Ask yourself three key questions. "Ask yourself, 'Where am I
now, where do I want to be and how do I get there?'"
·
strategic forecasting and tracking trends in the chocolate
industry. When answering, refrain from comparing yourself to the competition.
Instead, focus on your strengths and your distinguishing qualities.
·
Pool your resources. Have enough money in the bank to last you at
least six months out, and form a board of advisors who can offer unbiased
advice and suggestions.
·
When forming your board, don't limit yourself to experts within
the chocolate industry. Even people from outside of the industry can offer
great insight.
·
Love what you do. "For every entrepreneur, it's always going
to be harder than you think it is, and you have to have great love and passion.
·
"Don't just chase
chocolate because you think you'll make money.
·
Keep your eyes wide open. Chocolate, in general, will never lose
its appeal, but studies, research and taste buds can change with each passing
year, bringing certain types or flavors of chocolate to the forefront.
·
In order to keep up with
these trends, the importance of living consciously. "Don't have blinders
on to other industries because that's often from where the best ideas
come,"
·
"Look at technology and make analogies into our world. Look
at art. Go into a container store and look at convenience.
·
Is there a way to package a
chocolate bar that peels like a banana so you can get at it more easily without
unwrapping it?
·
. You need to look everywhere for trends, and you'll easily then
be leading the market instead of following."
·
Believe in yourself and your product. "If you think your idea
is ahead of its time, chances are that it's a great idea
·
. "It's just a matter of letting people know why they need it
and why it's different and better."
