Exciting News from our Apothenne Founder, Jacqueline Bradley
Over the years, Apothenne has gone through many transformations, but this past season has been our most significant yet. We’ve streamlined our collection, reducing our offerings from twenty-two products to eight, brought wholesale production back to Los Angeles, partnered with a third-party-logistics company, and licensed our workshop division to retailers across the country. These changes have allowed us to focus on what we do best while creating more space for new opportunities.
Usually, this time of year would be packed with spring launches and trade show preparations. But with these new systems in place, I’ve found something rare: time. And I want to dedicate it to give back to the small business community that has supported and inspired me for nearly a decade.
That’s why, for the next couple of months, I’m offering a limited number of one-hour consultations to help fellow small business owners gain clarity, solve challenges, and navigate the journey of building a brand.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to grow, here are some of the topics we can dive into together:
• Hiring smart: when and how to grow your team
• Branding: crafting your story and working with designers
• Pricing strategies and understanding your margins
• Getting noticed by wholesale buyers
• Product styling and photography tips
• Trade show strategies
• Scaling production and maximizing efficiency
• Managing cash flow and profitability
• Goal setting and accountability
• Social media and marketing strategies
• Brick-and-mortar essentials: buying, merchandising, budgeting, and more
Before we meet, I’ll send you a few questions to help us focus on the areas that matter most to you, so I can come prepared with personalized advice and actionable insights.
When I started Apothenne in 2015, I often wished I had a guide for many of these topics. Now, after nearly ten years of trial, error, and growth, I feel so fortunate to be in a position to share what I’ve learned. Problem-solving has become one of my greatest joys, and nothing would make me happier than helping you tackle a challenge or two in your business.
