Today we’d like to introduce you to Christina Maag
Hi CHRISTINA, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I come from an executive assistant background. Working with C-level executives for over a decade, I developed project management skills and a solutions-partner attitude. I was buying branded merchandise on the fly and had the opportunity to learn about it from the distributor side of things.. I fell in love with becoming a personal shopper for unique branded products. I love the creative process of finding the perfect branded pieces for an event, brand, and budget (that won’t get tossed and give the client an ROI on their merch).
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I started the company in January of 2020 – yes, you read that right! A month before a global pandemic. I would say that was a blessing in the long run. It helped me organically build the business while navigating the supply chain and remote working. It develops my solutions partner mindset that has helped our company grow to over $1M in sales in 4 years.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
