Wearing every hat at once
Production, photography, marketing, sales — there are never enough hours in the day.
Markets with little traffic — and little sales
You show up, you set up, and the customers just aren’t there. Low foot traffic means low sales.
Premium retail feels out of reach
Traditional leases are expensive and built for big brands — not independent makers.
You tried retail but it just didn't work
Many stores have poor merchandising, mismatched shelving, and didn't promote you or your products.
