Gillie Roberts, Co-Founder of Ware
This week, we welcome Gillie Roberts of Ware back to the podcast!
Gillie is a long-time friend of the podcast who has undergone a lot of change with respect to e-commerce since launching Ware in 2018. Namely, there was NO e-commerce at the launch of Ware. Today, it plays a small-but-growing part of total revenue with a focus to expand e-commerce in the months ahead.
Ware has transitioned location and sales focus in its five years of business. Today, they’re in West Asheville and focusing on bolstering their refill business. Some of the lessons that have informed the pivots have been hard-earned.
But Ware is poised to capitalize on those lessons. Listen until the end to hear their announcement!
