Ian and Eric both then discuss how you can make brands separate from each other so the consumer has a clear idea of what they are going to buy. Eric then continues to talk more about if it is alright for a non-profit to be very profitable and what’s the “limit”. Ian then asks about what the main focus area of such organization be and Eric answers with ease and Eric also continues by taking a closer look and guiding the audience through a process of initial assessment.
