Building a company from SCRATCH...
Share
Building a company from SCRATCH is one of the hardest things I've ever done
I did absolutely everything I needed to do to turn my business into an industry contender!
If you all stopped buying my belts, I would have QUIT a long time ago
But every order felt like you trusted me with a new mission
And like most little guys starting out I got caught up hunting for BIG investors and BIG names and luckily had no luck ;)
I practically worked for free but kept hammering on this DREAM I had:
"To put a 100% American-made belt on just 1% of patriots in this country"
I didn't make fancy purchases or take a big salary
And I have invested over $1,000,000 of my customers money into a 100% American-made men's belt company! (Hey maybe I am nuts…)
But the root of it was always wanting to provide you guys with the BEST and do it in AMERICA
So I kept refining the quality and construction of my belts!
Along the way I was told time and time again that my company was not SCALABLE!
So then…. I built a TEAM. Got a building. Bought more machines. Purchased more dies, tools, punches, and presses. I stacked the leather and steel to the ceiling
Everything I made month after month for years went right back into refining the quality and rewarding the people helping accomplish that
When advised to automate I hired people instead
When advised to outsource I went all in on American-made
Finally after years I achieved the manufacturing foundation I needed to push volume
The LAST step was to bring down the PRICE
But I knew from past experience that TIMING would be everything
It's no secret our country is going through some big changes
As my foreign competitors scramble to survive these tariffed times! Im watching many increase their price and pass the cost on to you! (I hope their cargo containers continue to gather rust at the port)
Well we are doing the exact opposite
Today is the day I do something my team and I have been working towards for years!
Our largest PRICE REDUCTION!
And the only way we were even able to get to this point is because of people like YOU reading this now
Every purchase you made in the beginning with me was the investment I needed to establish new production capabilities and take this “little arts and crafts project” to the next level
QUANTITY without sacrificing QUALITY
You helped me build an INDEPENDENT company that is not impacted by politics or trade!
You helped me get out of the garage
You helped keep the hammer in my hand during some tough times in my life
And I truly feel this business is as much yours as it is mine
I am hoping with these new prices it allows me to reach more folks in search of a great American made product
I GUARANTEE this is the best damn belt you will ever own at a level of quality and NOW a price that no one can beat
I look forward to going to work for you!
