If you aren’t growing, you are dying, but the hardest part about growing is maintaining quality. As you hire more folks, expand to new locations, industries, etc. it becomes increasingly challenging to maintain the high quality you provided to your clients when you first started. It’s an incredibly difficult problem and so we reached out to some phenomenal entrepreneurs and asked them to share their stories, experiences and insights on the topic with us below.

I pride myself in maintaining a high level of quality that distinguishes our brand from others. When communicating with manufacturers, I specify the materials, measurements, colors, and gsm. I learned through trial and error that if you don’t specify your expectations, you can potentially be forced to settle with something that doesn’t meet your standards. And have lost time and money. Ive learned that you have to be persistent, concise, and non compromising when attempting to produce your vision through apparel. Read more>>

Every film that I create is intentionally hand-crafted. Read more>>

One of the important concerns I have in my firm is quality control. It’s important for me to make sure that each of my clients get the unique experience of working with us. In order to make sure each project is completed with the same level of detail as the rest, I am involved in each project making sure all protocols are followed. When my clients allow me to enter their personal space it only motivates me more to succeed in creating an exceptional design. Read more>>
