“There are multi-billion dollar brands that are built on the premise of creating good-for-you products. Whole Foods itself is a multi-billion dollar supermarket where all they sell is in the better-for-you category. There’s a whole industry and huge demand built on that very premise. It’s a huge opportunity!”

Matthew Parry is a part-owner of ABC Sales & Marketing, a 30-year old Aussie business that imports, distributes and manufactures products for sale in Australian supermarkets. Mathew caught my attention with an email explaining that he was in the early throes of taking on Pringles around the world with a brand he’s manufacturing called The Good Crisp Company. It’s basically a chip that looks like a Pringle, comes in a Pringle-like tube, but contains no nasties! And how’s this for success … Just one year in and they’ve replaced Pringles on all Virgin Australia and Tiger flights nationally. Plus, its stocked in 2,000 supermarkets across the America, and is in the top 10 fastest growing brands in Whole Foods stores. In fact, The Good Crisp Company is on track to do $5 million in sales in its first full year! In Matt’s own words he says “We have a tiger by the tail, and are trying desperately to hold on for the ride!”

Here’s what caught my attention from my chat with Matthew Parry of The Good Crisp Company:

1. I love how Matt visits trades shows looking for trends … but most importantly, questioning what he didn’t see and turning that in to a product.
2. I love Matt’s mindset around taking on the big guys – I think he said something like “Be everything they’re not!” Fast to market, responsive to customer feedback, open to new ways of doing things.
3. I loved Matt’s questioning of “How many conventional products are yet to be created in their natural form?”
