Listen Later

Corporate gifting isn’t just a thoughtful gesture—it’s a $33 billion market opportunity. And for Julie Maskulka, founder of Anecdote Candles, corporate gifting now drives 25% of her company’s revenue. 


Known for combining storytelling with scent, Anecdote is carving out a unique space in this massive market, offering a custom candle gifting program that delivers an impressive average order value of $2,727.


Through testing different strategies like lowering minimum order quantities and tapping into distributor networks, Anecdote has been able to yield a 15% reorder rate from corporate clients.


From targeting unexpected industries to creating scalable systems for customization, you’ll hear from Julie on how to turn an idea for an untapped market into a powerful revenue driver.
