Here are some real life success stories of starting a hammock brand:
1. Maca ($2.88K/year)
Ben Hancock (from Remote) started Maca over 6 years ago.
Hi everyone! My name is Ben and I am the founder of Maca, a brand that sells handmade Mexican travel hammocks. Our hammocks are for people that want a unique, kick-ass, on-the-go hammock. Maca celebrates people who get out and explore somewhere new! But all that exploring requires some downtime and there is no better way to recharge the battery than to sink into a Maca hammock. Campers, vanlifers, hikers and nomads love our hammocks and especially connect with our “giving back” story.
We sell our hammocks 100% direct-to-consumer via our website. At the moment, we are selling a couple of hammocks a month and have big plans to increase this number in 2020.
2. Hammock Sky ($960K/year)
Hammock Sky (from Hollywood, Kentucky, USA) started Hammock Sky ago.
Hi there! We are TCM, and we are the owners of Hammock Sky. Hammock Sky provides a wide range of hammocks, hammock chairs, and other outdoor accessories that cater to everyone’s relaxation needs.
