In this episode I interview the Founder of BANGS shoes, Hannah Davis! We met randomly at a coffee shop in Asheville after I'd owned my BANGS for multiple years, long before I moved here! Hannah gives us the details on how BANGS came to be, why she started a shoe company, and how the company contributes to social impact. This story is full of twists and turns and fascinating insights. It was such a pleasure to interview Hannah now 10 years after she started the company.

If you want people to engage with your product, you have to allow the influencer to speak authentically.“When we work with influencers, we don't give people a script. As a customer, when I see someone reading the script like, ‘Here's the product, I like the product. It is so good.' Snoozefest. That sucks. That sucks to watch. So for us, as a brand, we don't give people a script. We give people, ‘Here's information about the brand. Here's what you could say, but we want you to talk about what is most impactful to you as a consumer of the product.' And the biggest thing that we look for when we're working with new people is, does this person know about the product? Have they tried the product? Do they like the product? Because then it's going to come across so much more genuine and so much more real. And so we have people, and we want them to talk more about how the product works for them. Is it getting them fiber? Is it replacing a soda for them? Is it a healthy treat that they switch to instead of drinking wine? And we're trying to lean a lot more into this storytelling aspect and into more genuine stories about why the product is making a difference for people.”8:52 – Trust your influencersInfluencers know what their audience is going to engage with. Trust your partners to speak authentically to get the most interaction from potential customers.“At the end of the day, the creators and the influencers know best what their audience is going to respond and react to. This isn't their first time doing a partnership. They know what their audience is going to purchase, they know what their audience is going to be excited about. And we've had conversations with people where I've said to them, ‘Hey, we want to use this content that you've created on our pages, but I totally understand if it doesn't work out for your page.' If it doesn't fit with your page and your audience, that's going to be weird. And that's how you lose your audience's trust is by posting things that you think, ‘My audience isn't going to like this.' That's just how it is. And at the end of the day, the biggest thing obviously that we measure in this industry is your engagement rate, the realness of your audience. So if your audience isn't engaged, and you're posting constantly stuff that they don't care about, nobody's going to want to work with you.”11:31 – Approach influencers for specific needsNo single influencer can target your entire audience. Go to specific influencers so they can speak to specific audience types.“If you're this amazing graphic artist and you're like, ‘Oh, I have this cool thing I could do for the brand.' And we want to work with you. I'm not going to say to you, ‘Okay, here's your link and your swipe app, post these Insta stories.' Because that's not going to perform well. So I think a big thing of being a brand is you can't expect everything from everybody, and you can't expect every content creator that you work with to fulfill every single one of your needs. There are going to be people who will have different target markets, there are going to be people of different interests. You're not going to ask a fitness influencer to, I don't know, post a recipe. That would be a little bit weird. You would go to a food influencer for that. So I think it's just playing to people's strengths, and that's something that's super important for me when I'm having these conversations and seeing, ‘Could we do a partnership? How would that partnership look?' I want to ask people, ‘What are your goals? What do you feel like you're the best at?' Because if you feel like you're the best at something, that's what I want to work with you on.”13:31 – Work with a broad range of peopleDon't just focus on high-profile influencers. Partner with interesting people who can broaden the scope of your target audience.“If we're only working with LA influencers or New York influencers, well, the target in Omaha, Nebraska, their sales are not going to be as good. That's just how it is. So we're working really hard to work with more people who are honestly just interesting people. We're looking a lot less than when we started, I think, at, ‘How many followers does she have?' I look so much at, ‘What's her content like? Is this person someone I'd want to be friends with?' I'm a pretty average Joe, I would say, I'm not buying $30 smoothies at Erewhon. I'm the Target shopper. I'm the consumer. When I'm looking at influencers, would I follow this person? Would I find value from this person? And so that's my biggest thing, especially as we work to expand and broaden our audience.”16:25 – Support your retailTracking conversions can be tricky, if not downright impossible. Make sure the marketing that you do is ultimately supporting retail.“That's the trickiest part, tracking your retail conversions. We do a lot of podcasts then, too, and tracking podcasts can also be tricky because you don't know if, ‘Oh, I heard this on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast.' And six months later they're listening to that episode, they hear about OLIPOP, they go to Target, they buy it there. You have no idea where those people are coming from. So I think that that's definitely a tricky thing. It's a tricky thing for us. A tricky thing for all brands is connecting the dots there. But I mean, at the end of the day, the marketing stuff that we're doing has to help support retail. And it's one of our goals. Obviously we want people to be coming to us on E-Comm and subscribing, we want people buying directly from us, and we'll do different things that will benefit the E-Comm specific shopper.”19:09 – Build an online communityTo connect with your audience, you have to build a community that they can reach out to. Building a community doesn't mean spending a lot of money, it just takes time and energy.“I think that building a community is so important. I think building that community, and creating that trust, and being a friend to people. I want people, when they reach out to OLIPOP, when they DM us, I want them to feel like, ‘I'm talking to Ariel at OLIPOP.' I want them to feel like they have a connection there. They have a person there. You can accomplish a lot with gifting and seeding. And I don't want brands to be like, ‘Oh OLIPOP, I see their ads all day. Athletic Greens, I see their ads all day.' These big brands, it's not day one for these brands. And I don't want people who are just starting to get discouraged by that, because I think that there are so many ways that you can build based on creating a community. And honestly, creating a community is free. Yes, it takes your time, it takes your energy. Sure. But dollar spend? Not really. You can create a big, juicy, amazing community with relatively low dollar spend.”20:27 – Find brand evangelistsInfluencers who stick with your brand long-term are your best advocates. So make sure to treat your most loyal partners with extra care.“A lot of those people who started out as gifting with us from day one are still on the train with us. They're still fans of the product. They'll reach out to us and be like, ‘Can I get product for my kid's birthday party this weekend?' Yeah, of course. Sure, I'm going to say yes to that. Of course. If you've been on the ride, if you've been on the train this whole time, at that point, those people are your brand evangelists. And if they want 20 coupons to pass out to their family and friends, I'm going to send them. It's pretty easy. I just feel like saying yes a little bit more, and seeing where you can stretch yourself, and saying, ‘Yeah, okay. I'll do it. Why not?' It's a really great way to do it.”22:55 – Stay personalReaching out personally to influencers over an Instagram DM is the best way to connect with them. How you respond as a brand will inform how influencers and customers alike see you.“You can add all of the external platforms in the world. And we have added CRM, management tools, organizational tools. There is nothing that beats an Instagram DM. There's just nothing that beats the Instagram message. I have my affiliates, and I'll send them an email, and then I'll send them a DM saying, ‘Hey, just sent you an email, check your email.' I just don't think that there's anything that really beats that Instagram message. It's so easy to drop into people's DMs and just say, ‘Hey, how are you doing? How's it going? Let's chat. Let's be friends.' It's so easy to do that. And I think that that's a really unappreciated art. And I think that the way that you respond to the stories you get tagged in, the way that you respond to people, that's what stands out. And there are some brands that do it really, really well.”25:08 – Keep your brand's voice consistentHire people who naturally speak with your brand's voice. If you can keep your branding consistent and authentic, people will be naturally drawn to you.“For official communications, our copywriter does an amazing job, but I think that honestly, for the most part and a big reason why I was originally brought onto the team, is because of my voice. The way that I talk and I interact is very similar to the brand and how we want the brand to interact. I'm going to send you a message that has emojis in it. That's just who I am as a person. And that's how the brand is. That's how we want the brand to be. We want it to feel like you're talking to a friend by removing that hoity-toity brand thing. It sometimes feels like a brand is talking down to you. And I really don't feel that with OLIPOP. And I feel like that's just because that boils down to hiring and who we're bringing onto the team, and are the people that we're bringing onto the team, do they have that same brand voice? Are they fun to be around? Do they send too many emojis? Awesome! That'll probably work for us.”42:28 – Learn from your lossesEven if a promotion or partnership isn't as successful as you wanted it to be, you can still learn from your failures.“If you send someone two cases of soda and they don't post it on Instagram, how much does that really affect you? You still get to sleep at night. You're okay. Pick it up, move on. I totally get people who are like, ‘I spent a ton of money on this influencer and nothing came of it.' That definitely sucks, but I think that you can look at that and you can say, ‘Okay, what did I learn from this?' Maybe I shouldn't put all my eggs in one basket next time, maybe I should spend the same amount of money, but do it across multiple different people. I think there's so many different ways that you can play around with it. And also if you have someone who's listening to this and they're like, ‘Wait, this girl said some really cool stuff.' Reach out to me, we can talk about it.” Watch the full episode here:  This episode is brought to you by OrderGroove and OpenStore:Visit  https://www.ordergroove.com/dtcpod/?utm_source=event&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=2022q1_dtcpodpodcast_thirdparty_demo_us&utm_content=demo  today to receive 2-months off your first contract.Visit https://open.store to get a free, no-obligation offer for your ecommerce business from OpenStore in 24 hours. Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further? Shoot us a DM, we'd love to hear from you. Ariel Vaisbort - Influencer CoordinatorRamon Berrios - CEO of Trend.ioBlaine Bolus - COO of OmniPanel

After graduating from college, facing a less than promising job market, Hannah Davis—founder and president of BANGS Shoes—ditched her plans to go to law school and went to teach in China.

BANGS Shoes directs 20% of their net profits to helping entrepreneurs around the world get their businesses started. To date, they have invested in an impressive 2,000 entrepreneurs across 70 countries.

How To Master A Socially Conscious Business  While in China teaching English for her first post-grad job, Hannah came across a simple yet functional shoe being sold in the streets. Giving it some thought, she realized that her version of that same shoe could be brought to the western market and paired with her desire for community impact. Inspired by the look and the hardworking people who wear them, BANGS shoes are designed to provide support from one adventure to the next. “I wanted do something very similar to the TOMS Shoes model,” Davis said, “but instead of giving people products, I wanted to use the sale of this shoe to help people bring themselves to change their own circumstances.” By an act of serendipity, Hannah just so happened to share her plans for BANGS shoes with a very interested retired VF executive (North Face, Vans, Seven7 Jeans) during a bartending shift she picked up on Valentine’s Day. He soon became BANGS first investor and partner, shifting the socially conscious shoe company into high gear. Six years later, BANGS has a dozen product silhouettes under its belt and has invested in over 1,700 budding entrepreneurs in 70 countries. In this episode of Voices of Impact, Hannah talks about her journey through mastering socially conscious business. We discuss discovering the adventurer within, small business micro-finance, and championing a new age of community impact. Hannah also shares info about her ambassador program that throttled BANGS into the present day.

Today we're talking with Hannah Davis from Bangs Shoes.  You're going to learn about the challenges of starting a new company and running a virtual company where there are no employees in the same physical location.

I remember the first time I consciously wanted to quit. I was 7 and I had a big school science fair project I was working on. I was so excited about my project idea (I was talking about different kinds of rocks because, you know, that’s what 7 year olds do, or something). And really, I just wanted to talk about the pretty rocks that I had gotten on a recent trip to the gift shop at Luray Caverns in Luray, Virginia. I thought they were pretty and sparkly and I wanted to talk about them in my science fair project. I thought this would be so easy and I’d breeze through this project. But when it came time to actually do the work and look BEYOND the pretty, sparkly rocks, and really learn and be able to explain the difference between sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks… the project suddenly got hard for my 7 year old self and suddenly it wasn’t as exciting as before. I wanted to switch to a difference science fair project topic… but my parents wouldn’t let me. They said NOPE, this is the topic you picked, and you will commit to it and you will do a great job. They didn’t help me with the project, but they supported me, they encouraged me, and they guided me along the way. And in the end, my project was awesome and I got an O for outstanding.  Now what exactly does this have to do with business? Well, so often early on in our lives as entrepreneurs, we get excited about the pretty, sparkly aspects of business. We have a big idea we think will be an instant success and an instant hit and we go full steam ahead until BAM. We hit a wall. And business gets hard. And bills come up, or a snag in our plans happens, or someone tells us no. And so we want to quit. or give up. or change ideas or businesses. But let’s be honest, successful business owners we see today never quit. They didn’t give up. They kept going. They pushed through. They got support and encouragement from those closest to them… and now they’re on the other side… that’s what a good entrepreneur does. They keep showing up every single day, even when it’s really, REALLY hard. My guest this week is Hannah Davis, the founder of BANGS shoes. BANGS means “help” in Mandarin, and Hannah wanted to create a solution to help others while also creating an amazing, stylish, and functional shoe. Hannah started this company at such a young age and has worked so hard over the past 7 years. Her story in amazing and will inspire you to push through and work HARD to achieve your goals!  ABOUT HANNAH: At 22 years old Hannah Davis founded BANGS Shoes, an everyday adventure footwear company, to help start businesses around the world. Davis graduated college the year after the housing market crashed and signed a contract to teach English in China for 1 year. In China she discovered unique shoes worn by workers and farmers. With no business, marketing or design training Davis launched BANGS, a name coming from the Chinese character for the word "help". To to date BANGS Shoes has helped invest in 1000 entrepreneurs in 65 countries. We're up ten times over the past three years, only selling online.
