Hey reader! Grab a snack, kick back, and join me on a rollercoaster ride through the "firsts" of our little world. So, pull up a chair and join us as we reminisce about those pivotal moments that shaped our brand.
Spoiler alert: It involves a test order, some seriously cute packaging, and a ton of gratitude!
The First Order: 1002 - Because 1001 was Just a Warm-Up!
6:15 pm, September 13, 2022. I got my first order. #1002 (#1001 was a test order by me, cuz I’m my own cheerleader :P) The order notification broke me into a very extensive dance routine. Bright Persian Pillow it was, a cornerstone, part of our very first collection. Memories!!
Rajan Ji – Our First Employee, The Logistics Guy.
A solo journey turned into a team effort when Rajan Ji joined us as our first-ever employee. Taking care of logistics end-to-end, his first paycheck came on the 3rd of February 2023, & now we're a squad of eager learners, picking up skills on the fly. None of us boast fancy degrees or years of experience, but hey, we're making it work!
Our Maiden Pop-Up: A Day to Remember
“Welcome to my shop!” - our first words at our maiden pop-up during Sunday Soul Sante in Bangalore. Six months into the business, with 3k followers on IG, the experience was nothing short of a highlight for a budding brand. People recognized us, expressing that they had heard of Hyppy, that was a pinch-me moment for our newbie brand.
The Unforgettable First Packaging & Visiting Card
Oh, how we miss our super cute small biz packaging! Seriously, have you seen anything cuter?
Our very first visiting card - a cute testament to our humble beginnings, carrying it a place, at a time :)
Kritika's Order & Review: A Lifesaver in Tough Times
Kritika, our first customer to leave a review back in Sept-Oct, 2022, became a beacon of support during challenging times. Her order and heartfelt review were the rays of sunshine we needed, and we'll forever be grateful :)
The Debut Theme of Our Website
Launching our website was like navigating a maze blindfolded, but hey, the first theme wasn't too shabby!
The First Product Shoot: A Shoutout to the Content Creators:
Hats off to the content creators, product stylists, and photographers. This stuff is tough & tiring.
Did this very first shoot myself, just like everything well. Rate me (knife emoji)
The Thank-You Note: Handwritten and Heartfelt <3
Our first thank-you note was more than just words on paper. Handwritten and adorned with cute stickers, it was our way of brightening our customer's day and expressing our genuine appreciation.
As I pen down these 'firsts,' I'm filled with gratitude for the incredible journey so far. Thank you for being part of our story. Here's to many more 'firsts' and the unwritten chapters that lie ahead 🙂
Love, Sawni
