A Silk Purse from a Sow's Side: Quality and the Ginger Pig

Tessa Stuart

These are not just steaks. These are aged steaks.  

Any butcher can offer aged steaks.

Everything in this shop underlines quality and provenance. The elegantly cursive gilded logo, the nostalgic Plum Pudding notice on the wall evoking comforting Dickensian hints of Christmas, plenty, family and jollity,  the bloodied aprons of the butchers, the carcasses they are constantly hefting...

Tessa's Take: Ella's Kitchen and Emotion

Tessa Stuart

Yesterday in Waitrose, I watched a 10-month old toddler in a pushchair lean over to the supermarket basket his father had placed by his pushchair, while his parents chatted, waiting in the queue to pay. He chose this product and some bananas from the other products in the basket. He recognised "his" product by the colours, shape and texture of the packaging. I could see him enjoying the colour and feel of the Ella's Kitchen pouch.

As an internet only grocer, they have proved themselves time and again with their world class innovation in web-ordering and delivery.

Are You A Challenger Brand?

Tessa Stuart

Tom Mercer, an ex-management consultant, set out to challenge the accepted notions of breakfast on the go in 2006. His bircher breakfasts and oat shakes, boldly branded by Pearlfisher, are now available at  London train stations, Waitrose, Ocado and on Virgin flights. Tom's aim is to banish bad breakfasts.  His wholegrain jumbo oats soaked in apple juice, combined with low fat Dorset probiotic yoghurt and fruit, are sustaining and delicious. (Especially the blueberry one.)
