The End!

Hi All!
I know it’s been a while, but I’ve been fairly busy per usual, lol. How are you guys? Have you been waiting for blogs? Welp, we have a lot to discuss…
We did our second event in November and it was pretty interesting. However, we got the job done. What we left the event with were website orders and this made our second “selling out” event. Selling out is cool, but we realized at this event that it really isn’t a good thing.
I usually over prepare for events and the website because I don’t know how people are going to shop. Due to everything being sold out the people who were reaching out to purchase or looking online, couldn’t. Once that happened we had a high volume of pre orders, wholesale orders, bulk orders, you naaaaaaame it. Which was AMAZING but due to me being a one woman band, I definitely got behind. At the same time, I was preparing for Black Friday which was another huge shocker!
We told ourselves this is our FOURTH Black Friday & what we will not do is create stress for ourselves. We made our sales exclusively for our subscribers & they showed UP and showed OUT. In three days HOPE had 44 orders, totaling 112 items. That was pretty major for the brand and you guys know I cried 1,000x, lol. I can’t help but to be proud because we’ve had one heck of a turnaround in just 90 days.
I managed to get everything packaged, delivered, shipped out, & picked up in time for Christmas. & just when I thought the madness was over, & I could get back to preparing collections, you guessed it MORE CHRISTMAS ORDERS! I had no idea that so many people were going to shop the brand for the holidays. Yes, I cried again, 1,000x, lol. I had so many orders to fulfill that I didn’t even have time to do my own Christmas shopping this year BUT I managed to get everything packaged, delivered, shipped out, & picked up in time for Christmas as well as before our last and final event of the year!
We participated in a third event back home on 12/14 called the Winter Wonderland, which was another interesting event. I froze the entire time which definitely made me consider the timing for different events we are planning to do. However it was fairly nice. At every event we have gotten the chance to meet some great people, try amazing food/beverages, & try out other vendor items. We look forward to participating in more events in 2025.
I want to say thank you to everyone who takes out the time to read our blogs, shop our site, come see us at events, emails/dms for collaborations/bulk/wholesale orders, engage with/share our content, and subscribing to our website. I love you all & pray for your continued support on this journey.
Stay tuned…
Happy Holidays 💜
