COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS

the why

We are all so much braver and more capable than we realize! This is something I realized about myself after going through a deep depression in my mid 30s. As I climbed out of that dark hole, I was amazed how my healing skyrocketed when I began to listen to and trust my own voice again. We, as humans, need encouragement to believe in ourselves and build the life we dream of.

As we began to design products with this truth in mind, the response was overwhelming, both in retail and wholesale accessories and gift markets. We’ve touched countless women and men who just needed a nudge to start living a life they are truly engaged in and wake up to their authenticity.

business model

Our current revenue streams are:

  • DTC - end consumers buy online through our website and social media marketplaces or at curated marketplaces
  • B2B - selling in bulk to the gift & apparel boutique market (of which there are over 50K in the US alone), we continue to widen our distribution opportunities and amplify our brand in this space.
  • Promotional bandanas - businesses collaborate with Jenni Earle to design custom items that we produce using our supply chains. We’ve done this work for small and large brands, musicians and organizations. This branch grew exponentially in 2021.

We have been firmly in the Bandana/Scarf market until July 2022. This was an intentional choice for us because we wanted to spend time building brand identity around this core niche product, the mantra-based bandana, establishing meaning and traction in this market before broadening our offering into more saturated markets.

Now we are finding traction in the broader gift market with additional products that carry that same inspiration and encouragement. They fit into the gift market with a focus on self-care and wellness, one of the fastest growing segments of that industry. With each new product extension, we plan to stay true to our mission to inspire courage and authenticity.

next moves

We made our first move into the broader gift market this summer with our line of vintage inspired trophies and they were a big hit! We were named Top 3 finds at the Atlanta Home + Gift Market and have already sold close to 2,500 trophies in just a few months.

We are working on the designs now to launch a line of jewelry and socks. Both highly giftable items to broaden our consumer appeal and distribution. With each new product expansion, we move closer to our goal of a full lifestyle brand. Sticking firmly to our core brand values and aesthetics, our goal is to deepen our customer trust and loyalty as we grow.

"I could not love the product and material more, and the message and support in addition to an exceptional product is icing on the cake. I will certaintly be back for more purchases. Thank you for your positive energy!"

    Hey there investors!!

    i wanted to give you an update after our study of 2023: – we doubled our SKUS this year, expanded into new product categories
    – we hireda Shopify expert to design our NEW website, focused on brand style + product page conversion – due to this: our website sales were up 78%, AOV there up 13% (which is exactly what we were hoping for with redesign!)
    – grew revenue 40% overall; DTC up 69%, B2B up 27%
    – overall revenue breakdown DTC 60% and B2B 40%
    – lost two key employees, Kristen (digital marketing) to a health crisis and Kari (inside sales) to her own work/passion growing enough for her to go out on her own – i really focused on profitability last year and we are teed up for success in that realm in 2024. Ex: drop in COGS on our main product, trophies, from $9.52 to $3.72 starting Dec 2023

    we are looking forward to what the new year holds! hope you are!!
    as ALWAYS, reach out with any questions to HOLLER@JENNIEARLE.COM happy new year! jenni

    Our beloved Advisory Board Member, Ben Noland,...

    Our beloved Advisory Board Member, Ben Noland, spoke about what made him drawn to lend his time and investment to Jenni Earle.

    “I love being a small part of the Jenni Earle story! I can’t think of many brands where the design aesthetic and the personality of the brand is as unique, consistent, and easily recognizable as it is with JE. I also admire that Jenni Earle has stayed unwaveringly true to its principles and core values, and I think that’s a big reason why it has such a loyal and steadfast customer base.” - Ben Noland

    We are so grateful for Ben and a deep group of local mentors that make our brand stronger each day.

    That loyal customer base that Ben spoke of is so evident on our Instagram feed, full of customer generated content from all the adventures of their life! Click below to visit our Instagram and join our brave community!
