Marieke Hart is the co-founder of Thuisafgehaald (now called Thuisgekookt), a Dutch platform that lets people share their meals with their neighbors.
What a wonderful concept that connects people and helps people express their passion for cooking.
The sharing economy has emerged and is growing.

Forty minutes on the phone with someone sounds like an eternity, Stephanie, but OH so worth it! Having a conversation is not “revolutionary” but it’s darn good business practice. And you can’t beat word of mouth marketing. In my estimation, it’s the BEST kind of marketing on earth.
Love these sensible, down-to-earth marketing tips from Marieke. I can tell she’s very passionate about her work. 🙂
So glad Marieke’s tips resonate with you, Melanie. Indeed, it’s easy to get distracted by differenct marketing tactis and forget that actually talking with people really works. I saw Marieke speak at the event where I interviewed her, you’re right, she is extremely passionate about her work.
