7 Towels Business Success Stories [2023]
The rising need for sanitation facilities, including toilets and bathrooms, is a crucial driver that fuels the demand for cotton towels.
If you are crafty, you can design and launch your towel brand. To develop a towel brand, you need a basic comprehension of art and design and an understanding of the fashion industry. You can join a fashion school or work with fashion designers to get the inspiration you need to start designing your towels.
Here are some real life success stories of starting a towels business:
1. Dock and Bay ($5.4M/year)
Andy Jefferies (from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) started Dock and Bay about 8 years ago.
I’m Andy, co-founder of Dock & Bay which is an awesome new lifestyle brand selling travel apparel, fitness, and beach accessories for those who love exploring this awesome world.
In our first full year of business, we had a turnover of $92K and this year we’ll be turning over $5.4m.
2. The Bali Market ($144K/year)
Grace Druecke (from Scottsdale, Arizona, USA) started The Bali Market over 7 years ago.
Slim margins, out of stock inventory and a shaky foundation. That’s how The Bali Market functioned in its first year of business.
I made the urgent decision to pivot off Amazon. I invested time and money in building a brand and re-opened on Shopify. That move paid off. The Bali Market now connects clearly with our target market and broke the 6-figure mark after less than 2 years in business.
