Celebrating One Year of Nursebands: A Journey of Growth and Gratitude
Today marks a significant milestone for Nursebands—our one-year anniversary! It’s hard to believe that a year ago, on Small Business Saturday, I took a leap of faith and launched this venture. Honestly, it felt a bit premature at the time. There was no grand build-up, no extensive marketing strategy—just a suggestion from my website designer to go for it, and I did.
Looking back, I realize I could have built more anticipation and engaged the community before diving in. Yet, what I lacked in planning, I made up for with passion. This past year has been a journey of trying to cultivate a community around Nursebands, and I’ve learned so much along the way.
As someone who thrives on growth and improvement, I can’t help but feel a tug of impatience. While I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who took a chance on me and supported my business, there’s a part of me that wishes our progress was even bigger. Is it possible to express that without sounding unappreciative? I hope so, because your support has meant the world to me.
Many of you trusted me with your purchases, not knowing what to expect, and I’m thrilled to know that you’ve found joy in what I offer. Your enthusiasm fuels my drive to keep going, even when the journey gets tough. There have been countless moments this year when I thought about quitting, but I’m here to stay. I’m committed to this brand and to growing it, no matter the challenges that come my way.
So, as we celebrate this anniversary, I ask for your grace as I continue to navigate this journey. I’m working on expanding our inventory and reaching more people, with the hope that Nursebands will be worn across different states and beyond.
Thank you for being a part of this adventure. I’m excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to see where we go from here. Here’s to another year of growth, community, and sweet surprises!
Happy anniversary, Nursebands!
