"There’s no way on earth we could have gotten to where we are now, in the way that we have, with the budget that we have, without a platform like Shopify."
“To be honest with you, growth's not the most important thing to me It’s brand. The brand part of the growth is what I’m really focused on. The revenue’s telling you we’re doing a good job, but people are starting to find out who we are. That means a lot to me.”
"Stepping away from the lab is easy with the Shopify app. It gives us all the functionality we need to have complete control of our business, no matter where we are."
“We made the right decision. We just wish we had made it sooner.”
“We issued a lot of refunds. A lot of refunds. I’m not going to give you a number because it would make me a little sick.”
“We’re always preparing for the unknown. So after a year of growth on Shopify, we upgraded to Shopify Plus for features like Shopify Scripts and now Shopify Flow.”
"It’s a huge time saver. We can make changes on the fly now so I can now focus on more strategic areas of the business instead of getting bogged down working on the site."
“We’ve got a solid portfolio of products but there is a large online audience that does not know about them. The plan is to get the word out while also introducing new products.”
“It’s just so simple and easy to work with Shopify. We can quickly upload images of shirts we know are going to sell, easily process orders, and track inventory in real-time.”
"Shopify has helped us overcome a lot of obstacles and obviously the one-on-one talks with Tobi (CEO) and Harley (COO) in Fiji were invaluable. Without Shopify, I don’t think I’d have gotten as far as I have as quickly as I have.”
“This is why Launchpad is our savior. We schedule everything during normal business hours and Launchpad does all of the work for us automatically.”
"I love these artisans dearly. The thing I like most is the friendships we’ve made and the trust we’ve built. These people are often very poor and struggle to feed their families."
"Automation is going to play a big role in our future. It’ll allow us to focus on being merchants and growing the business instead of the repetitive tasks that slow us down."
“Migration is a dirty word around here. We’ve tried every platform because we’re nimble and we switch when something isn’t working. It’s costly to switch and migrating is a major upheaval. We’re married to Shopify and love the technology. Save yourself the time and money and just start with Shopify and you won’t need to worry about switching as you grow.”
“Being able to automate the wholesale process changes how we build our team. It prevents us from missing 2 A.M. orders and keeps our customers from having to wait to place an order until we’re in the office. It just solves so many problems.”
