Creating A Custom Brand With Your Own Hands W/ Jeff of Exeter Drum Works

Monday Nov 25, 2019

E34

Another episode out in the field! Join us today from Exeter Drum Works wood working shop in New Hampshire. Now I can’t say that being a drummer didn’t have anything to do with me choosing to go after this episode but it’s certainly good for anyone looking to make their own product, sell a boutique brand, or just likes to hear a hustle story.

We certainly talk drums but we also talk making the leap, getting your first income from your career, and competing as a small boutique brand against other larger manufacturers and competitors.

In This Episode We Cover

If you don’t like what’s made, make it

Getting into manufacturing goods

Competing with national brands

Three years and then making drums

Tricks to keep committed to your dream

Vision’s effect on creators

Collaborate don’t compete

Band Roles

Music Instrument industry

Trends in musician product consumption

Differentiators
