What is DTC Alternative Protein Marketing?

Saffron Edge offers DTC Earned Media services that promote your D2C brand by using organic components. For some, it might be the most challenging type of marketing strategy to master, but for our team of experts, it has been a tool to help brands like yours achieve growth effectively.

Which Factors are Affecting the Demand for DTC Alternative Proteins?

  • Ethics

Ethical eating is becoming more popular and meat production and consumption is surely a perpetrator of such eating habits. So, with everyone looking for ethical sources of protein, there is no surprise in why alternative protein is becoming popular.

  • Sustainability

There is a clear gap between the current demand for proteins and the traditional protein sources and with the proliferation of population, we can assume that traditional sources of protein are not sustainable but that is not the case with alternative proteins.

  • Food Safety And Nutrition-related Concerns

Animal eating has its own list of nutritional caveats. This is what thwarts people from relying on the traditional sources of proteins and instead of just griping about the losses, people are ready to flock to alternative proteins.

  • A Sense of Change In The Youth

With the younger generation becoming wary of the impact of environmental degradation, the reduction in meat intake is not a surprise. And when meat consumption will start dissipating, the consumption of alternative protein will become an impending trend.

Which Alternative Protein Concerns Need to be Addressed Through Marketing?

  • Does It Taste Good?

Taste is the biggest barrier for consumers and therefore, any type of marketing plan must address this obstacle. This is a bigger concern for people who have never tried any type of alternative product.

  • Are The Prices Fair?

The biggest barrier to mass consumption of alternative protein that needs to be addressed through marketing is the price. This issue of price can be overcasted with the perks of ethics and sustainability.

  • Is The Nutritional Value Up To The Mark?

People are now delving deeper into the nutritional value of the alternative protein and they are comparing it with the traditional sources of protein. This is another issue that needs to be addressed through marketing.

Which Type of Strategy is Necessary for DTC Alternative Protein Marketing?

  • Use The Emotive Characteristic of People
