Taking a look at what happened with Goya and the current increase in recognition of the brand for the last 24 hrs is something every business owner should look at and take notes.
The search for Goya has soared to over 200k in the last 15 hrs. It’s was pure genius and you can implement it to I’ll explain.
Breaking it down strategically Goya made a move which many might have qualified as controversial especially in a time where president Trump’s approval rating is not good.
For starters, Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue endorsed president trump saying “We’re all truly blessed…to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder. And that’s what my grandfather did, he came to this country to build, to grow, to prosper … and we pray, we pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country.” This has many different reactions especially in a time where people are unhappy with his overall performance and the state of the country.
The issue of a possible second wave of the coronavirus, racial inequality and black likes matter protesters everywhere over the last few weeks the riots the destruction of many small businesses. Also with the second stimulus check to aid Americans who have been desperately fighting to stay afloat. The issue of school reopening and families are uneasy as to the safety of students and teachers. Many people are not happy with the overall condition of the country.
All these factors put together are what put the fan to the flame you might say of how the public perceives the president’s overall approval rating.
Now when Goya made the comment they faced a lot of backlash in my opinion this may or may not be a good thing in some people’s eyes but it did wonders for the Goya brand as a whole. As the saying goes any publicity is good publicity
This action has increased brand awareness on every major platform and has piqued public interest in what’s going on with Goya.
Now the icing on the cake was when the president’s daughter Ivanka trump also endorsed the Goya brand because of the comments of the CEO of the company.
