When Heidi Avery could not find a subscription box to purchase online for her teenage daughter Sienna during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, she decided to take matters into her own hands and launch the very business she was looking for.

Ruby Crate, a seasonal subscription box venture was born with a small investment of $5,000 out of Heidi’s own pocket. The business took off at an unexpected speed soon after and Heidi says it has now “earned the family $400,000 since its 2020 launch, as of May 2023."

They began with 400 boxes. Each box contains “seasonal items tailored slightly depending on the age of the recipient, including slippers, water bottles, candy, sunscreen, sunglasses, makeup, tote bags, essential oils, jewellery, accessories, and wellness products.” Sienna, who is also the self-proclaimed chief creative officer of the company, began pouring in ideas about what teenagers and tweens her age were interested in. As of the end of 2022, the duo have sold 4,000 boxes.

They then took part in an after party, which was also attended by young celebrities and teen influencers. The initiative resulted in Ruby Crate making unique connections with other small business owners in the U.S., an influx of sales, and an increase in the company’s consumer engagement.
