In Episode 15, we dissect into Yeti’s business & marketing strategy – The company was founded in 2006 by 2 brothers Roy & Ryan Seiders but really started to get noticed in 2011 when sales hit $29 million. They took a commoditized product "a cooler" and made it into something extremely desirable by implementing a technology that had their coolers keep ice frozen for long periods of time. In addition, their coolers were much sturdier than what the market was currently offering.
