Better Food is a startup food import brand which sells directly to consumers via their online store. They also sell wholesale to brick and mortar ethnic grocery stores. Better Food sources popular edibles from Iran’s rural farms and remote village growing areas, as well as from other trusted food suppliers throughout the region and imports them to the US for Iranian expats, exotic food lovers, and chefs.

Objectives

To build a modern online store that is easy to navigate, while presenting and describing the foods for both Iranians and others who may not be familiar with the foods. We also wanted to market the website to food lovers in the US.

Strategy

We wanted to appeal to the sense of nostalgia of the expats since the foods they ate when they were kids are now available to them again. Our other audience members are chefs and food lovers who want to try new things, so we needed to present the food with beautiful photography, product descriptions, and usage instructions. We also had to make sure it is optimized for search terms in both English and Farsi.

Process

Great product photography was the key to success for Better Food. We shot all the products against a white background from every angle. This would allow the consumer to inspect the product as if they were standing in a grocery store aisle. We made sure the functionality was available to zoom in and read the ingredients. Our staff wrote all the food titles and descriptions, incorporating both the Persian name (in Latin characters) and the English product names. We built the catalog so that it could be used for wholesale and online retail, and could be transmitted to other marketplaces like Amazon and eBay. We built the cart using the free and open-source shopping cart; WooCommerce and optimized every product using schema markup and SEO techniques.

Creative

Along with photography, we shot a 30-second commercial for TV and social media that targeted Persian families in the US. We built a wholesale product catalog in print and PDF for B2B marketing to ethnic grocery stores, and created ad campaigns for Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.

Results

Better Foods has become the go-to online store for ex-pats who desire a taste of home. They receive a steady stream of orders on their online store. They have also signed up an impressive number of wholesale clients from around the US. We also created an Amazon Store for them and synchronized the products and inventory with their online store, doubling their revenue stream.
