Let’s talk about the not so pretty side of running a business that doesn’t get share. The growing pains, the learning curves, and the mistakes.
Back in July, we tried something new (the Weymouth sweatshirt below), and the response was incredible. In August, we tried something else for Abington, and this time it grew bigger than we ever imagined. Then September came, and in the same week, we committed to several events and somehow launched a fundraiser for all the elementary schools in Weymouth. 🤯
In just two months, our lives have completely changed, and it’s all because of you. Overnight, our Facebook community grew, we welcomed new followers and the custom orders and website orders started coming in. We are so incredibly grateful for all of you!
But with that growth has come a LOT of figuring things out. Managing a large volume of custom orders, juggling embroidery and vinyl items, keeping up with inventory, running out of supplies (weekly!), and, quite frankly, screwing up a few orders along the way (see sample photo 😭😭). That last part breaks our hearts every single time.
We’re learning as we go, making adjustments, and trying to do better with each order. We’re not perfect, and we’re figuring things out while investing into tools to help speed us up.
Thank you for being here, for your patience, for gently nudging us when we need it, and more than anything, for supporting us and this crazy little dream of ours.
