What Is Food Marketing?

So what exactly is food marketing? Damned if I know! It's just that, well, you want to sell food. More than likely, the food your company produces, right? The question is, how do you get your brand to stand out among the crowd, make people find out about your product and more importantly, make them BUY your product? I think (do you care?) it's about how you reach them. And once you reach them, WHAT you say to them. And HOW you say it. Like for example, what does your website say about your company? Is it just a template based starter- upper? Or a custom developed, beautifully photographed layout? What does your site say to users? How do you get users to your site? Once they get to your site, what do you want them to do? Is it about buying the product from your or going to the store to shop? Is it about cooking with your product or eating it right out of the box?
Stupid questions? Maybe. You'd be surprised how many people haven't even begun to ask themselves these questions, but they are the basics to figuring out food marketing and somewhere to start your processes when it comes to brand image that you want to convey.
