19. How to Get Started with a Product Based Company with Kaelynn, owner of Poppyseed Play

When Kaelynn was expecting her first baby, she was looking for a way to make an income. One night she was on Etsy shopping for a wood play gym. The only options were hundreds of dollars and shipped internationally. Instead, they decided to go to Home Depot and get the materials to make their own. They listed it on Etsy and waited. And waited. And waited. For about a month. Once they made their first sale, they knew they could make another. They handmade 650 wood play gyms in her parent's basement before they began to outsource. One of her biggest challenges along the way in her business was growth. There's so many things to manage -- inventory management, finance management, hiring a team that catches your vision. And there are so many growing pains that you go through along the way She could see clear spikes in business when she: Outsourced manufacturing Outsourced shipping to a third part logistics (3PL) company Started using Facebook Ads Hired us to do Product Photography! Hired a nanny so she could have work hours (After the first shoot she did, she made $500 in sales the day she posted the new photos!)
