DTC snack brands are notoriously hard to scale. Factoring in lower AOVs, spoilage, and bulky shipping —there isn’t much room for margin. That said, it’s not impossible. You just need to get creative in how you sell. 1) Obsessed Customer Base Each snack brand I know of that is

Here’s a fun story: Back when I was running DTC stores day-to-day, I had a hunch: If I could rank for a ton of long-tail keywords, I could generate a ton of sales on organic traffic alone. This led me to start Dear Ava—a company geared towards women selling gifts for all kinds

I ran bootstrapped businesses for years. After having been at a hyper-scaler startup that died from raising too much money, I thought they were the "right" way to build a company. My time at YC changed that for me. Let me explain: I come from a DTC background. → Lean teams

When picking a sales tax provider, you must decide whether you want a self-serve tool or a white-glove service. If you pick a white-glove service, you’ll be able to tell a lot about how the experience will go based on your onboarding experience. Your provider needs any and all

There are only two kinds of DTC operators: Ones who know how difficult sales tax is, and the ones who will eventually find out. To make matters worse, the cost of not managing sales tax properly only grows as the brand does. That’s why we exist. Below is what you can expect to
