Today we’re excited to be connecting with Barbara Marynowski again. We’re excited to feature one of their products in our gift guide – learn more below and we encourage you to use your gift budget to support small businesses & creatives whenever possible.

Barbara, so thrilled to have you joining us again, this time to talk all about products and so let’s jump right in. Please give our audience some background on the product side.
Basia’s Pickles are premium, gourmet pickles made with love! Our products focus on exceptional taste and quality and are made in Texas. In addition to our line of pickles, we now have Basia’s merch as well as being the premier dealer for Big Dill Energy shirts and accessories – because we all need more dill-iciousness and humor in our lives!

What’s been the most exciting part of the journey of taking this product from idea to real life?
The most exciting point of the journey so far is when we made it on to HEB shelves! Seeing our factory production ramp up to supply our favorite grocery store was such a dream come true.

How do most people hear about your product?
We use a few marketing avenues including online ads and social media (we definitely aim to have fun on our socials and love hearing from our fans!), but my favorite method is sampling in real life – when someone tastes Basia’s for the first time and their face lights up – that’s magic, every time. We are also starting a collabs program with paid commissions, which is exciting!

What’s next on the product or brand roadmap?
We have some big goals for next year! In addition to growing our Texas market, we are expanding to the southeastern states and working on a shiny, new pickle flavor! Look for us at some big pickle festivals as well (to be announced on our socials soon)!
