🚀 Growth Opportunities
B2B Expansion:
Hospitality Industry: Explore partnerships and sales expansion into the hospitality sector, including hotels, medical facilities, and senior citizen facilities. These entities require similar products for their bedding needs, and bulk orders from such businesses can significantly increase revenue.
Bulk Sales: Implement a B2B sales team to actively target and cater to businesses' bulk purchasing requirements. This can lead to more stable and higher-volume sales.
Affiliates: Seems like the brand gets a lot of scale out of the current affiliates. I’d dive deeper into this process to figure out how to 2x volume. Move to different platforms like Squaredance to 2x the volume of affiliates for your brand.
