I started Bee-Tees® in 2009 with t-shirts that teach character. I designed Bee-Tees® as a way to help me begin conversations with my then 2-year-old daughter Lena about kindness, honesty and friendliness. We were having issues at school with sharing our toys and I needed to find a way to let her know that “beeing fair” means sharing her toys and giving everyone a turn. Bee-Tees® was a perfect way to have a teachable moment in the morning about what her shirt said and then she’d look down at her shirt during the day and remember Mommy talking about “beeing kind” to her friends. The concept caught on and before long Bee-Tees were on sale in boutiques and stores around the Southeast.
Bee-Tees display in all 592 locations of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store!
Then one day Bee-Tees® caught the eye of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® buyers and a large display of Bee-Tees® tees, hats and stationary went up in all of their stores in 2010! This was phenomenal experience. But keep in mind, meeting someone from Cracker Barrel® might have been a lucky break, but when that opportunity knocked I opened the door, I was prepared and I was ready. I learned so much about business, marketing, retailing, financing, networking, publicity, social marketing, licensing, patents, trademarks and business development! And since our debut in Cracker Barre®l I’ve received literally hundreds of emails from women with wonderful ideas that want to know how to get their product onto the national stage.
I’m going to show you how to be prepared, to be ready and to take advantage of all the opportunities that you will now have open to you!
