Dear Freaky Fans,
For our first newsletter, we'd like to take a moment to update you on our progress as a business and express our heartfelt gratitude for your support. Every order means so much to both Fika and me, and we love getting pictures and videos of your pups playing with their Freaky Friends!
We've accomplished so much more than we expected in our first two months of business, and we truly couldn't have done it without all of our amazing Freaky Fans like yourself!
So what's happened?
Since July 15th, we have sold nearly 500 of our toys! We couldn't have anticipated just how much these Pickle and Pineapples resonate with so many people, and it's especially fun to hear about which Freaky Friends are your favorites.
We're now in stores!
Not only do we sell toys through our website, we also sell to independent pet stores. Last month, we landed 12 retail locations across Phoenix, Tucson, and New York. It's been a whirlwind, and we are so excited to see how our business will grow in different communities.
