In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Anaita Sarkar, the Co founder of Hero Packaging and author of "Sell Anything Online." Anaita is a self confessed marketing and ecomm nerd with a massive Tik Tok following and a refreshing way of looking at life that only comes when you’ve had a few wins and a few bumps and bruises along the way. She’s been an accountant, a consultant, an ecom founder of Olivia & Co, a B2B founder for Hero Packaging, mentor, coach, lecturer, social media star and now author.

Her main gig, Hero Packaging, started as a solution for Anaita’s previous business, where she was using enormous amounts of plastic to ship her products, and is now a global company that has sold over 35 million compostable mailers and has over 73,000 customers. In this chat, Anaita shares her thoughts on the importance of cash flow management, the pros and cons of working with agencies, and the impact of content creation on brand visibility. Anaita is also extremely candid about a particularly tough time for her own business and how she coped.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• The critical mistake that nearly pushed Hero Packaging into voluntary administration.
• How customer demands led Hero Packaging to take control of their entire manufacturing process.
• Anaita’s strategy for maintaining a growth mindset while keeping a close eye on profitability.
• The surprising approach Anaita takes to social media, and why she ignores follower counts.
