We were really rough at first. Rich helped code the first website. We put together a makeshift photoshoot and built a site on Shopify. We got a little more sophisticated as time went on.

In the first year we really weren’t sure if this was going to work. We knew we needed to hit certain benchmarks if we were going to survive and be able to support ourselves on it. It was very up and down. We’d get a mention in the press, see a bump, and then things would decline. But it took a while to see that sustained growth. Once we started having double digit orders on a daily basis we were feeling pretty good. I would say we did.
