The pandemic eliminated the need for a retail product temporarily. I pivoted and established an Inside Sales Team with focus on High End Consumer and Education verticals. This team grew from 3 to 25 over the course of 18 months. Sales grew to over $100MM annually and the sales team now touches over 85% of all sales. Post pandemic, we reinitiated the retail product project (Aura) and have since successfully launched into most crafting retailers, Best Buy, Amazon, the UK and many others. Aura is the most successful product in it's space.This amazing journey continues.
