Manly Bands started with a problem familiar to founder John—a lack of compelling men’s wedding bands. Now a thriving DTC jewelry brand, Manly Bands offers unique rings made from materials like meteorite and deer antler. In this episode, John discusses how he and his team scaled rapidly, especially during the pandemic, and why recent years have focused on profit optimization.
Key Insights Include:
Building with Customer Input: Testing creative designs through direct customer feedback to ensure resonant products.
Expanding Lifetime Value: From women’s rings to groomsmen gifts, diversifying product lines has helped boost average order value.
Mastering Tech and Optimization: Moving to a headless Shopify site and utilizing AI-powered tools to streamline operations and enhance the customer experience.
Creative Licensing Partnerships: Unique brand collaborations with Jeep and Jack Daniels to appeal to men’s individual personalities.
