2024 RECAP

    Thank you so very much for being here and for all your support, your orders, and your words of encouragement. It was a hard-working, goal-achieving year, and I’m excited to share a brief recap of 2024.

    Let’s take a look!

    1. MARKET EXPANSION
    In 2024, we participated in over 20 makers markets. We had the chance to connect with so many amazing people and showcase our products in person. These markets were a fantastic opportunity to engage with the community, hear feedback, and grow our presence in the SLO and surrounding areas. Shout out to Muse Markets, Downtown SLO Farmers’ Market, and Santa Margarita Ranch for including us.
    2. RETAIL PRESENCE
    In 2024, we expanded our presence in stores across San Luis Obispo County, bringing our products closer to the local community. It’s been amazing to see our items in shops such as Making SLO, Chamber of Commerce, SLO General Store, Lincoln Deli Market, Retro Threads and more, and the support we’ve received has been incredible. This growth has allowed us to connect with even more customers and share what we do best with the people of SLO.
    3. PRODUCT OUTPUT & INNOVATION
    In 2024, we were thrilled to launch over 10 new products and designs, expanding our collection with fresh, exciting options. One of the highlights was the release of our SLO & Steady line, which quickly became a fan favorite. We also introduced a fun range of enamel pins, adding a little extra flair to our offerings and giving customers new ways to express their style.
    4. WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA
    In 2024, we gave our website a fresh update to showcase even more of our products, making it easier for you to find what you love. We’re also excited to welcome a new account (@slobabebrand) that focuses primarily on SLO-based products, expanding our local reach. These updates are all about giving you a better shopping experience and connecting even more with the community we love.
    5. CONTINUED LOCAL COLLABORATION
    We’re proud to continue working with local printers like Positive Xpression, ASAP Printers, and ThreadHead to bring our products to life. Their expertise and commitment to quality help us create the best possible items, while supporting small businesses in our community. This collaboration has been key to maintaining our high standards and staying true to our local roots.
    LOOKING FORWARD
    As we move into 2025, we’re excited to continue growing, evolving, and learning from every step along the way. Each year brings new opportunities and challenges, and we're ready to embrace them with open arms. We're committed to pushing forward and creating even more for our local and national community.
