From crowdfunding on Kickstarter to generating over $1M in sales, they’ve built a brand that resonates deeply with their audience.

  • How to Use Preorders to Test Your Market and fund production without risking cash flow.
  • Building Urgency with Limited Edition Products to drive sales and repeat business.
  • How to Build an Authentic Brand Story that creates lasting loyalty.
  • Creating a Movement, Not Just a Product to engage your audience beyond just the transaction.

  • Whether you’re in the fashion industry or running a completely different kind of business, the strategies Vicky and Charisse share are ones you can apply immediately.
