Broadening product for growth: Oddbox

Oddbox are a well-established grocery ecommerce brand, working directly with growers to deliver thousands of boxes of ‘rescued’, or ‘wonky’ fresh produce every week throughout England.

My Role

As a consultant, I helped ideate and launch Oddmarket - an extension of Oddbox’s product ambient grocery range. 

Fitting with Oddbox’s mission to save imperfect produce, Oddmarket offers sustainably created, planet positive food. The focus is predominantly on plant-based foods, complementing the contents of the fruit & vegetable boxes. 

How I worked with Oddbox: . 

  • Recommending categories, suppliers, brands and product mix.

  • Selecting over 200 SKUs for the initial Oddmarket trial.

  • Forecasting a 12 month plan of revenue, costs and P&L.

  • Developing a price strategy, basket metrics and market positioning.

  • Researching and tendering 3PLs to deliver optimal margin & maintain customer satisfaction.

Success

Post launch, Oddmarket is now a permanent part of Oddbox’s expanded offering. 

All the elements I sourced - rescued, refillable and sustainable brand products are a part of the Oddmarket range and continue to strengthen Oddbox’s product proposition.
