Many of us dream of getting our products into retail stores and on major ecommerce websites, but we often don’t know where to start. Having your products sold by companies like Sears, Best Buy, and Bed Bath & Beyond often feels like a pipe-dream.
This week I have a returning guest, Cyndi Blais, of the Etsy shop Funktional Wearables where she sells jewelry for fitness trackers like the FitBit. We're talking all about growing your brand and how she has successfully done that.
You may remember my earlier conversation with Cyndi from 2015 when we talked about why she niched down from selling health and fitness products to focusing on just fitness tracker accessories specifically, and provided a ton of helpful information and resources for Etsy sellers.
If you missed that episode, I recommend checking it out. It's Episode 81.
This week, I’m catching up with Cyndi to see how her business has grown and evolved over the last 18 months. I must say, this interview has been incredibly informative and insightful!
Since our last conversation, Funktional Wearables has grown exponentially – now with products being sold in retail stores like Kohls, Bed Bath & Beyond, and (hopefully) soon Best Buy!
Wow... That’s huge!
Although she’s seen massive success in her business, Cyndi is still a “down to earth” kind of gal and she still holds Etsy close to her heart. In fact, she attributes much of her success to Etsy, since that’s where her products got their start!
I’m sure you’ll love this interview as much as I have and hopefully you'll learn many great, inspirational lessons from Cyndi's story.
Get out there... Approach retail stores... The faster you do it, the better. ~ Cyndi Blais, Funktional Wearables
