Lisa Breitenfeldt launched a business selling geocaching equipment in 2005. Ten years later, she had a line of products and some success, but lots of competition. Instead of continuing to chase sales and new products, she asked her mailing list what they might want out of a box subscription – and got the feedback that transformed her business.

Now, at Cache Advance, Lisa sends her members a fun box of geocaching and awesome outdoor gear each month. She’s scaled her business to nurture her very best customers while massively reducing her workload and de-stressing her life.

Today, Lisa joins the podcast to tell the story of how she coped with her niche becoming rife with competition, built a new business to the exact specifications of her best customers, and stopped chasing sales for good.

Key Takeaways

  • How Lisa built a unique business in the early 2000s – and what happened as her category became less unique and competitors began to take her market share.
  • What Lisa did to design a perfect membership for her already-established audience. 
  • How Lisa is expanding on her current membership business to upsell and serve her best customers in new and exciting ways. 
  • What Lisa is doing to offer multiple memberships without exhausting herself or her audience.
