About a decade ago, Steliyana Yosifova accidentally offered a homemade oatmeal cookie to a pregnant woman she did not know. The woman spontaneously said that if the cookies were sold anywhere, she would definitely buy them. This reaction inspired Steliyana Yosifova to create the healthy brand Marsio – oatmeal cookies that are delicious and full of beneficial energy.

Baking cookies is typically considered a "female" thing. How did you manage to turn it into a successful business model?

Transforming a "female" activity into a successful business is a matter of vision, discipline, and entrepreneurial spirit. The story of Marsio started naturally – with love for good food and the desire to create something of high quality. When I was experimenting with recipes, I never imagined it would grow into a serious business. The key to success was in the strategic approach and business model, which combines quality products with effective distribution. We also managed to create a recognisable brand – something crucial in the food industry.

Why did Marsio become consumers' preferred way to get healthy energy?

Our success is the result of our perseverance, attention to detail, and striving to offer more than just an ordinary snack. Marsio focuses on high-quality products, carefully selected ingredients, and an understanding of the modern consumer's needs. By combining traditional recipes with modern food trends, we created a product that is not only delicious but also offers a balanced content of carbohydrates, fibers, and healthy fats.

With Marsio, we were able to reach a diverse audience – both people with an active lifestyle looking for an energy boost before or after a workout, and consumers who spend hours at the office and need a quick and healthy snack.

What does your business day look like?

I start early with a cup of coffee and a review of the day's priorities. I believe that a successful business begins with good organisation and clearly defined goals. Even before I enter the production facility, I review key business indicators – sales, deliveries, production processes. Part of my time is spent meeting business partners, suppliers, or Marsio's team to discuss the business's strategic development. I believe that a successful brand must constantly evolve while staying true to its values.

For me, family is of utmost importance, this is why I try to dedicate enough time to it. When possible, I involve them in some aspects of the business – this brings us even closer.

I believe that a successful woman is one who finds a way to be happy both in her business and personal life, without compromising her values. This is the path I walk on every day.

Стелияна Йосифова: Енергията на добрата храна

Бисквитите Marsio ни помагат да се справим с предизвикателствата на деня

Преди десетина години Стелияна Йосифова случайно черпи непозната бременна жена с овесена бисквитка, която сама е направила. Непознатата спонтанно казва, че ако бисквитките се продават някъде, тя със сигурност ще си купува. Тази реакция вдъхновява Стелияна Йосифова да създаде здравословния бранд Marsio – овесени бисквити, които са вкусни и пълни с полезна енергия.

Печенето на бисквити е типично "женско" занимание. Как успяхте да го превърнете в успешен бизнес модел?

Преобразуването на едно "женско" занимание в успешен бизнес е въпрос на визия, дисциплина и предприемачески дух. Историята на Marsio започна естествено – с любов към добрата храна и желанието да създам нещо качествено. Когато експериментирах с рецептите, не си представях, че това ще прерасне в сериозен бизнес. Ключът към успеха беше в стратегическия подход и бизнес модел, който комбинира качествени продукти с ефективна дистрибуция. Успяхме са създадем и разпознаваем бранд – нещо наложително в света на хранителната индустрия.

Защо Marsio стана предпочитан начин за набавяне на полезна енергия сред потребителите?

Нашият успех е резултат от постоянството, вниманието към детайла и стремежа ни да предложим нещо повече от обикновена закуска. Marsio залага на високото качество на продуктите, внимателно подбраните съставки и разбирането на нуждите на съвременния потребител. Съчетавайки традиционни рецепти с модерни хранителни тенденции, създадохме продукт, който не само е вкусен, но и предлага балансирано съдържание на въглехидрати, фибри и полезни мазнини.

С Marsio успяхме да достигнем до разнообразна аудитория – както хора с активен начин на живот, които търсят енергийна подкрепа преди или след тренировка, така и потребители, които стоят с часове в офиса и имат нужда от бърза и полезна закуска.

Как протича един бизнес ден за Вас?

Започвам рано, с чаша кафе и преглед на приоритетите за деня. Вярвам, че успешният бизнес започва с добра организация и ясно дефинирани цели. Още преди да вляза в производствената база преглеждам ключови бизнес показатели – продажби, доставки, производствени процеси. Част от времето ми минава в срещи с търговски партньори, доставчици или екипа на Marsio, за да обсъдим стратегическото развитие на бизнеса. Вярвам, че успешният бранд трябва да се развива постоянно и да остава верен на своите ценности.

За мен семейството е изключително важно, затова се старая да отделям достатъчно време за него. Когато е възможно, го включвам в някои аспекти на бизнеса – това ни сближава още повече.

Вярвам, че успешната жена е тази, която намира начин да бъде щастлива и в бизнеса, и в личния си живот, без да прави компромис с ценностите си. Това е пътят, по който вървя всеки ден.
