💪 Sweatpants + Overalls: Swoveralls
In the third episode of our podcast where we host successful D2C entrepreneurs, we had a wonderful conversation with Kyle, Founder and CEO of USA-based clothing brand, Swoveralls.
Back in 2015, Kyle identified a trend: every month, approximately 500-1000 people were searching for "sweatpant overalls" on Google.
“It seemed there was already a demand that I would have fulfilled.”
But then the question is, if there is really a demand, or is it just wishful thinking?
“You come up with an idea, and of course, your idea is great. Because it came out of your own brain. But how many other people care about that?” Kyle questions.
He has experienced this firsthand and thinks one of the major mistakes entrepreneurs make is assuming everyone will love their idea just as much as they do. Overestimating the demand for your product is a common error, he notes.
His advice? Stay grounded in data. Rather than relying solely on intuition, gather solid evidence that the problem you're addressing genuinely concerns your potential customers.
To achieve this, Kyle uses a range of excellent top-tier tools that provide extensive data for his business.
