Ten ways to find and test your food business idea
Here are ten places to start finding and testing your ideas for a food business.
1. Ask your local deli or farm shop what they would like to see on their shelves.
2. Social media – get on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube and ask people what
they’re interested in. Upload photos and videos of different food ideas you’ve
had and see which get the warmest response.
3. The media: TV, magazines and newspapers are a good indication of current food
trends. Listen to The Food Programme on BBC Radio Q, and check out great
food bloggers.
4. How can you improve upon existing products? Think in terms of
flavour and nutrition. Both are big selling points.
5. Attend food networking events, go to food shows, festivals, farmers’ markets.
Get to know local producers and feed off their enthusiasm.
6. Discover new ingredients in speciality shops and delis.
7. Make a list of everyday food and drink and think about how you could improve
on it. Do the same for your favourite meals – both homecooked and from
restaurants.
8. Explore the science of nutrition in a short course.
9. Sign up for advanced-level cookery lessons.
10. Ask family and friends. (And experiment on family and friends!)
