We Launched SpecialtyFoodies.com — Here’s Why
Finding your best customer shouldn't take six months or six figures. So we built something that makes it faster, easier, and a whole lot more affordable.
We’ve spent years helping food and beverage brands figure out who their best customer is. And here’s what we’ve seen again and again:
Getting good customer insights is either too slow, too expensive, or too generic to use.
So we decided to fix that.
Today, we’re proud to launch SpecialtyFoodies.com—a new way to find, understand, and connect with your best customers.
What Is Specialty Foodies?
It’s a research platform explicitly built for specialty food and beverage brands.
We’ve surveyed and interviewed tens of thousands of U.S. consumers, breaking them into 64 unique segments based on what motivates them to try, buy, and switch.
As a member, you get access to all that data, which is updated regularly, searchable by segment, and ready to use.
No expensive custom projects. No waiting months. Just honest answers, fast.

Why We Built It
We work with a lot of brands that are growing fast, but still flying blind when it comes to their customer. They’re stuck using generic audience data, outdated buyer personas, or expensive reports that don’t lead to action.
Specialty Foodies is our answer to that.
It’s designed to help you find your product-market fit faster, test ideas with real people, and build marketing that actually connects—without spending a fortune.
