875 Shopify Testimonials

"Given recent growth within our omnichannel approach, it’s made us realize that we need to simplify our tech stack to what’s best fitting within our business. We’ve put a strong focus into utilizing multiple Shopify solutions and consolidating within their stack as we continue to expand our channel offerings. It’s saved our team a tremendous amount of time, while we’ve been able to further develop our longstanding partnership with Shopify to the BYLT loyal online and in-person."

"We are not purely an online player - almost 50% of our sales come from retail. If you're an omnichannel player like us, then it's of course just perfect if you end up with a shared data pool."

"It would be impossible to sell internationally at our current scale without Markets Pro. We couldn’t target the international markets or compete with brands based in those regions because I couldn’t ship for even one tenth of their costs. Now it’s a level playing field, so it’s game time. You can’t put a price on that."

“The coffee and chocolate subscription business was a huge learning experience for us. We had the ability to taste all of the makers products around North America. Although in the end we decided to stop the service, it gave us insight into how the back end of chocolate making was done.”

“Hell, I remember running heavy machinery when I was 9 or 10 years old. I was on summer vacation, working from 7:30 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon. There’s nothing like making things, starting with raw goods and then seeing how they become this final product. It's fun, it's fulfilling.”

“When we decided to launch the running groups, we saw an opportunity to start monetizing the business. It just went viral. That's when we started ramping up production of our merchandise, which has been really how we've sustained the organization for this long.”

“Why don’t I make my own store and start selling a product I care about instead of working really hard to sell stuff on other people's store."

“The winter coat had never been reinvented, because it's always been good enough for everyone, no one's ever had a reason to put in the hard work and the blood, sweat, and tears to make it better. I had a reason. I didn't want people to wear animals anymore. So, that was my inspiration for working harder at creating a better coat, that everyone would love whether they care about animals or not.”

“They said, ‘Here's $70,000. Here's a bunch of stuff you don't know. You have 3 weeks to do this, and it's a month before your wedding.’ I was working 22 hours a day for like 8 days in a row. My arms stopped working, because I was shoveling and sweeping in the cold. I thought it was carpal tunnel, but it was actually stress-induced spasms. Then my mom called and said my grandmother had just died. Everything was happening all at once, and things just kept going wrong. After that experience, I realized I could pretty much do anything. This business honestly didn’t seem like much of a risk after that.”

“I loved being in the recording studio; I loved vinyl and the entire process of making a record. I was like: We should do something like this. So, we took a big risk and just started doing it.”

“It was on my fortieth birthday and I received this hundred thousand dollar order! I bought eight microwaves and I made about eight tons of soap in my kitchen. It nearly killed me physically. Of course, what happened then – because I already owned these four stores and eight franchises – was that I realized that I didn't need to buy the soap from the supplier anymore. I just quite liked making it, so that’s what I did.”

“I needed an outlet. I started writing a whole bunch of my past stories down on MySpace—like what was I going to do, yell it from a building? I was just using it as a creative outlet and a bunch of people gravitated towards the things that I was saying because, back then, not a lot of people were really being transparent online.”

“We moved to California at the time of the recession. We were creative people but couldn't really find creative jobs so we opened up an online shop as a small hobby business. From there, we grew it for a few years until we saved up enough money to travel. But we didn't want to drain all of our savings to do it. We had an idea inspired by food trucks – maybe we could do a mobile retail store. At the time, we really couldn't find any examples of anyone else doing it.”

“In all of us, there is a desire for self-expression. We really wanted to put ourselves out there and see if it stuck."

“I wasn't interested in selling one card at a time, so I researched the wholesale industry and learned that I needed to target the retail buyers to get the volume of sales that I wanted.”
