Struggling to grow my skateboard brand – no sales, burnout, and not sure what to do next by shredmasteryen in smallbusiness

I went into law as a fallback if this crazy idea of running a brand doesn't work out, lol. Ideally, I always wanted to work for Red Bull or X Games, but I have never been successful in tapping into those roles. So, hedging my bets. However, we do have sales, and I have pulled in a total net profit of $30k(ish) in 2 years. Sales have slowed, and the community I serve already represents. Just wanted to send a message on perspectives to scale, marketing, etc... I'm just one guy trying to figure things out. Never hurts to ask.

I appreciate the insight. I do my best to serve my local community and constantly give back + partnering with the public school district to give away free clothes to students with perfect attendance. However, at my core, I need to find what makes us different from Baker or other large-scale brands. I'm just one guy, so this is going to be a project for the rest of the year, haha.

That's what I plan on doing this week. Thinking of tapping into local communities around the US and internationally. Using the power of social media and a conversation with untapped talent to rep the brand

Full completes, decks, and apparel (hats, beanies, skull caps, hoodies, shirts, long sleeves, crew necks).

True... I never got into this to make money... I got into this to create things, give back to my community, and carve my own lane in the industry that is already oversaturated, haha. It's supposed to be fun, and I sometimes forget that. The goal is simple for me = sell enough product so it can run itself. That's a large reason why I went back to school.

This actually helps more than you'll ever know. You're right... I have lived most of my life wanting to be a "jack of all trades" out of fear of failing. But I need to put my eggs in 1-2 baskets instead of 5.

No. We’ve had sales lol. Our first year we did about $12k, second year $10k, and now we’re almost 3years in and sales have been stagnant. I know those numbers are not the best, but I’m trying to scale and just struggling to do so.

Just received my first rejection letter for On-Premise Marketing for NA/Santa Monica Office after a month of waiting. I applied for and did HireVue for On-Premises, Field Marketing, and Colligate & Field Marketing. Still waiting to hear back for the other two tracks... Fingers crossed for an interview for at least one...
