Pearls of eComm Wisdom: The Bubble Tea Club Story | #166 - a podcast by Nathan Bush
from 2022-03-06T19:00:52
In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Pamela Yip from Bubble Tea Club. When Covid hit, within a week of losing most of her marketing clients, Pamela Yip had conceived and launched a new business with her friend Jenny Le. Their idea - DIY bubble tea - was timely and a huge success - if the people can’t go and get bubble tea, then bubble tea must come to the people! Bubble Tea Club has now had over 40,000 customers or ‘bubblers’ as they are known and the company is generating over $2m in revenue. They’ve also been voted in the Top 20 Coolest retailers by Inside Retail, alongside Culture Kings and Country Road. In this chat Pamela shares what it’s like to be a young, Asian, female entrepreneur, how she and her Co-founder nailed their crowdfunding campaign video and tells us all about ‘edutainment’, which is at the heart of her marketing philosophy.
