Porch Pumpkin Profits: Behind the Scenes with the Industry’s Founder. Ep #073


Listen Later

I sat down with Heather Torres, the founder of Porch Pumpkins, who has literally invented an industry. In this episode, we talk about how she turned decorating porches with pumpkins into a thriving business. We cover everything from her profit margins and gross revenue to her customer base and logistics strategy. Heather shares how she finds customers, what an average customer looks like, and how she would navigate if a recession came.
