You make some political sensitive comments on your personal blog linked directly from your product site (affirmative action). I personally would not buy from you having read those as I disagree with your position.
It seems like putting out stuff like that while your trying to build a brand is risky, while some/many of your target may agree, I can see some not e.g. Libertarian types who believe in self reliance i.e. your own garden, but not affirmative action.
Up to you, personally I think why take the risk?
- anthonyb 16y agoDid you even read his blog post? Or just see "affirmative action" and kneejerk it? And what do his political leanings have to do with buying plant seeds?
- developer123 16y ago1st Point Yeah I read the blog post, he stated a position in support of it and articulated his reasons. 2nd Point What does if a presidential candidate is bald or not have to do with his/her capacity to run the country? What does Whole Food's CEO"s John Mackey position on health care have to do with buying groceries? Your question implies a lack of understanding of the motivations and impulses that drive consumers to take actions such as voting and purchasing products. My questioning of the value of putting and linking such rhetoric with a product or company represents an understanding of impact of the overall messaging around a product/brand that can very far removed from the core value/solution a product/brand/person is delivering.
- jjames 16y agoIt is possible that the rhetoric is part of the brand.
