Start Scale Succeed

Ep 122 - When the big retailers copy your design - what's next? with Snoozeshade founder Cara Sayer


Listen Later

One of the challenges that a small business can be faced with is  when a larger retailer with bottomless pockets blatantly rips off your designs.

This is one of the topics I'm talking to Cara the founder of snoozeshade  on ep 122 of Start Scale Succeed.

Cara Sayer, founder of Snooze Shade,  shares  her gripping journey of battling corporate giants and protecting her invention. With her blend of personal anecdotes and business acumen, Cara divulged how she dealt with a big retailer replicating her product in  Aldi  sparking her plight for IP rights and leading to extensive media coverage.

She enlightened us about unregistered design rights, the importance of trademarks, and the complexities of safeguarding one's product internationally.

We cover a LOT in this episode but here's just a snippet

  • We talk about how she took on the large retailers when they infringed her designs and copyright and continues to do so.
  • How to protect your designs
  • Focusing on the profit rather than the turnover
  • A close look at wholesale and distribution
  • International trading into multiple countries.
  • Challenges she faced as an entrepreneur
  • Growing the brand and next steps.
