Where to find circular economy advocates in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Circular Economy Advocates

Circular Economy Advocates want to promote the reuse and recycling of materials. However, they can't get it because they struggle to track and trace materials throughout the supply chain.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. CircularTrace.

Material Traceability Software : CircularTrace is a software solution that enables advocates to track and trace materials throughout the supply chain, promoting the reuse and recycling of materials in a circular economy. Of course it is much better than the stuff from EcoTrace, or RecycleMate!

How to find Circular Economy Advocates

You can get insights about the pain points of circular economy advocates if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

  • Find out where circular economy advocates hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
  • Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
  • Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
  • If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of circular economy advocates, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
  • At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Material Traceability Software.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
