We have a lot to talk about in this episode! I’m joined by Denise Albright, a creative entrepreneur who founded her first company in 1999 and has had an entrepreneurial mindset since childhood. After taking a break in 2007 to focus on her family, Denise’s entrepreneurial spirit was reignited in 2015 when a production delay left thousands of Reminder Binder planners stranded in a warehouse, which precipitated the birth of her newest venture.
Listen in as Denise shares how she started her business, what has helped her to scale (hint: think systems!), and how she uses common software to handle customer service inquiries. We also discuss why she decided to jump into the wholesale market, her process for live selling, and how to drop ship using hubventory.com.
Denise is offering 10% off the entire line of Denise Albright organizational stationery products on your next Hubventory order! Use code LUCKY when placing any size order through May 31 on hubventory.com.
