We give back 15-20% of our sales to help with various patient, employee, and community needs. Prior to the pandemic we traveled to over 100 hospitals across the southeast to do 1-4 day onsite sales. I had 3 divisions, jewelry, boutique clothing, and linens. When the pandemic hit all hospitals closed their doors to onsite sales( these were so competitive to be able to do and we had worked so hard to build our company and for 2020 would have done 500k in sales). In March 2020 we were shut down. So we took our linen division to an online platform to still make $ for us and the hospitals we serve. Our products are amazing and now with online we are no longer limited to the southeast but are growing nationally. In oct we rolled out our online sales are are steadily growing. We've done over 60 successful hospital sales including Advent Health (the 2nd largest hospital system in the US) and the one I'm the most proud of is we were St Jude Children's Research HospitalS 1st online sale for their auxiliary (they are the most selective for vendors in the nation) and everyone loves us and our products! We sell sheets, pillows, and comforters. We have a great manufacturer and distribution center. We offer top of the Line products and great prices. We have excellent customer service!
Due to the pandemic moving to an online platform was frightening but has proved to be successful with so much potential for growth. We are currently trying to expand to other fundraising and our goal is to move beyond just fundraising. With proper marketing this is within our reach. If I am Actually considered for this grant We would Be happy to send you some free samples of our products to see the great quality we offer. We have worked hard to find the best quality at the best prices. My company is just me and my husband growing this. He was a former executive and I was a former healthcare professional. We have 3 sons. Our goal from the time they were little was to go into business for our selves once our boys left for college. That is what we did. We saved, we planned, and 4 years ago started our business. We almost went under due to the pandemic but decided to work even harder and our company is already showing great success and much potential. I hope you will consider me (I am 51% company owner). Thank you so much!!!!!
