Hey Guys, I’m so excited to announce that I've moved into a warehouse space! Since I started CharCharms, I’ve used my dad's basement, and now it's time for a change. I hope you guys enjoy this journey as much as I did!
Before our official move-out day, we slowly started packing up all of the CharCharms that were stocked in my parents' house. I bought around 50 boxes (for a steal!) which helped us a lot to keep all the CharCharms in one place. This was a slow process in the beginning but we made it all work out at the end.
As we packed to move out, Martha was so kind to help me. We cleared all the shelves and slowly moved all the boxes we had packed to the garage so it would be easier for us on moving day. This was such a tiring and sad process to see all past setups I had done taken down but I know it’s for the best and I’m so excited to see what the future holds.
As you all know, I started CharCharms from my childhood home and that basement was my warehouse for about a year and a half. This was so helpful to me as I had just started my business. It is so shocking to see the growth for our company in such a short time and I’m so grateful for everyone who has supported me throughout this amazing journey!
A sneak peak into the future: I’m thinking about changing some of the CharCharms packaging and items that are on display so before we started to move out I made a quick visit to Dick’s - who now sells our products in-stores! - to see some of the items. As a business owner, it's really important to see how your products are being sold in person and to see what better changes you can make for the future as your business grows.
So finally it was move out day! It was so exciting to see my new journey begin. I started the day by picking up a U-Haul so that we could move all the boxes at one time. The U-Haul was only $100 and very convenient to move all the products in a short period of time! I’m so thankful for all of my family members who came and helped me move to the warehouse!
Now, as we moved all the boxes to the warehouse, everything was kind of a mess and very unorganized but with the help of my great employee, Miranda, I was able to start organizing the new CharCharms headquarters! We decided to color code all the products in an effort to stay as organized as possible from the get-go. When you're growing a business, having an organizational method helps you stay o track and move quickly in the event that a lot of orders come in at one time.
All in all, growing CharCharms has been the most thrilling experience of my life. I’ve learned so much from what changes I need to make at both the product-level and on a company-wide level. My dream has turned into a beautiful reality that I can share with all of you now. I would like to thank everyone who has helped me through this journey and I wish to keep growing my passion for water bottle accessories.
