How Selling to Major Retailers Almost Stalled SkinKick's Growth and Why They're Now a Digital-first Brand
Manage episode 396356411 series 3435890
Inventing a new product, getting it into big stores and selling millions of units is the dream for most entrepreneurs. But landing a shelf space does not guarantee success. Matty Schirle, Founder and CEO of SkinKick, a natural skincare brand whose products have amazed all who has seen or used them - customers, journalists and retailers. Unlike most, Schirle was not obsessed with getting on retail shelves at the start - he planned to build awareness and make millions in sales online before approaching retailers. But he was soon approached by Target.
Schirle also talks about the common but serious errors to avoid when going digital-first and why you need a positive approach to failure in business and entrepreneurship. We are sure that you will enjoy his unique and entertaining story.
