with my family, you could find me shopping online.<\/p>\n<p>I was 24 years old, and I loved browsing the internet for clothes that were both on-trend and affordable. Unfortunately, there weren\u2019t too many options back then. That\u2019s what gave me the idea to start a side hustle selling women\u2019s clothing on eBay.<\/p>\n<div class=\"BoxInline-styles-makeit-container--23sG-  \">\n<div id=\"BoxInline-ArticleBody-5\" class=\"BoxInline-styles-makeit-container--23sG-\" data-module=\"mps-slot\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>At first, it was just a fun hobby.

We worked out of our living room, so we didn\u2019t have much overhead to worry about except for shipping costs.<\/p>\n<p>Profits varied during the first few years, but we typically made anywhere from $300 to $1,000 per month. We used that money to pay off student loans and invest back into the business.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d fly to Los Angeles to meet with vendors and place product orders, and eventually started attending trade shows to expand our line of selections.<\/p>\n<div class=\"MidResponsive-styles-makeit-midResponsiveContainer--3l1lB\">\n<div id=\"MidResponsive-1\" class=\"\" data-module=\"mps-slot\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ArticleBody-InlineImage-107008245\" class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageEmbed--34uz8\" data-test=\"InlineImage\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-wrapper--2zwoR\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imagePlaceholder--3rDiU\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageContainer--ZhYfv\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-test=\"InlineImage-pictureContainer\"><picture data-test=\"Picture\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008245-1643396229804-Chris_Gerbig_and_Tori_Gerbig.jpg?v=1644329710&amp;w=740&amp;h=416\" media=\"(min-width: 1340px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008245-1643396229804-Chris_Gerbig_and_Tori_Gerbig.jpg?v=1644329710&amp;w=630&amp;h=354\" media=\"(min-width: 1020px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008245-1643396229804-Chris_Gerbig_and_Tori_Gerbig.jpg?v=1644329710&amp;w=929&amp;h=523\" media=\"(min-width: 760px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008245-1643396229804-Chris_Gerbig_and_Tori_Gerbig.jpg?v=1644329710&amp;w=717&amp;h=403\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008245-1643396229804-Chris_Gerbig_and_Tori_Gerbig.jpg?v=1644329710&amp;w=929&amp;h=523\" alt=\"Chris and Tori Gerbig, founders of Pink Lily.\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-captionContainer--gGYTS\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageEmbedCaption--2JK7F\">Chris and Tori Gerbig, founders of Pink Lily.<\/div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageEmbedCredit--1Wqj7\">Photo: Tori Gerbig<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>Two years later, in 2013, I started a personal Facebook group to market my clothes. We had loyal customers who showed an increasing demand for our products, especially in our local community<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>in Bowling Green, Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the year, we had saved around $20,000 from our profits, which we used to launch Pink Lily\u2019s official website.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>That\u2019s when business really began booming.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2014, we surpassed $100,000 in monthly revenue. After three years of running Pink Lily as a side hustle, I quit my insurance job to work on the business full-time. Chris joined me a few months later to oversee the company\u2019s finances and operations. We closed the year with more than $4 million in revenue.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, after achieving $70 million in total sales, we received a minority stake investment to support the\u00a0business\u2019 rapid growth. This helped us expand our product offerings and scale an amazing team.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, we sell more than 11,000 products on our site every day, have a brick-and-mortar store and, with 250 full-time employees, are one of the biggest employers in Bowling Green.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ArticleBody-InlineImage-107008250\" class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageEmbed--34uz8\" data-test=\"InlineImage\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-wrapper--2zwoR\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imagePlaceholder--3rDiU\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageContainer--ZhYfv\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-test=\"InlineImage-pictureContainer\"><picture data-test=\"Picture\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008250-1643396468435-Pink_Lily_Warehouse.jpg?v=1644329611&amp;w=740&amp;h=416\" media=\"(min-width: 1340px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008250-1643396468435-Pink_Lily_Warehouse.jpg?v=1644329611&amp;w=630&amp;h=354\" media=\"(min-width: 1020px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008250-1643396468435-Pink_Lily_Warehouse.jpg?v=1644329611&amp;w=929&amp;h=523\" media=\"(min-width: 760px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008250-1643396468435-Pink_Lily_Warehouse.jpg?v=1644329611&amp;w=717&amp;h=403\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008250-1643396468435-Pink_Lily_Warehouse.jpg?v=1644329611&amp;w=929&amp;h=523\" alt=\"The Pink Lily warehouse in Bowling Green, Kentucky.\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-captionContainer--gGYTS\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageEmbedCaption--2JK7F\">The Pink Lily warehouse in Bowling Green, Kentucky.<\/div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageEmbedCredit--1Wqj7\">Photo: Tori Gerbig<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>While we still visit trade shows, we now have a core group of vendor partners who we work with to create custom designs.<\/p>\n<p>Co-founding Pink Lily alongside my husband has been the journey of a lifetime.

Find a gap in the market<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably heard some version of this before, but I can\u2019t kick off entrepreneurial advice without hammering this point home: It\u2019s so important to find a gap in the existing market.<\/p>\n<p>When I started my side hustle, I saw an unmet need for fashion-inclined women who wanted to be able to find a dress for $50 or less. I knew I could help to fill that need in my own small way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ArticleBody-InlineImage-107008258\" class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageEmbed--34uz8\" data-test=\"InlineImage\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-wrapper--2zwoR\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imagePlaceholder--3rDiU\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageContainer--ZhYfv\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-test=\"InlineImage-pictureContainer\"><picture data-test=\"Picture\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008258-1644333132676-Screen_Shot_2022-02-08_at_101154_AM.png?v=1644333362&amp;w=740&amp;h=416\" media=\"(min-width: 1340px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008258-1644333132676-Screen_Shot_2022-02-08_at_101154_AM.png?v=1644333362&amp;w=630&amp;h=354\" media=\"(min-width: 1020px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008258-1644333132676-Screen_Shot_2022-02-08_at_101154_AM.png?v=1644333362&amp;w=929&amp;h=523\" media=\"(min-width: 760px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008258-1644333132676-Screen_Shot_2022-02-08_at_101154_AM.png?v=1644333362&amp;w=717&amp;h=403\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008258-1644333132676-Screen_Shot_2022-02-08_at_101154_AM.png?v=1644333362&amp;w=929&amp;h=523\" alt=\"Pink Lily 2022 Resort Collection\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-captionContainer--gGYTS\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageEmbedCaption--2JK7F\">Pink Lily 2022 Resort Collection<\/div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageEmbedCredit--1Wqj7\">Photo: Tori Gerbig<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<h3><strong>2. Reinvest your profits<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you want growth to happen quickly, you need to reinvest all or most of your early profits back into the business.<\/p>\n<p>You may be very strapped for cash during the first few years. That was our experience, and it wasn\u2019t easy. We worked up to 60 hours per week, lived frugally, and reinvested the money we made back into growing Pink Lilly.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Find fun, unique ways to engage your social media followers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Being active on social media has been a key part of our success. We regularly ask our 1.4 million\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pinklily\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram followers<\/a>\u00a0what they\u2019d like to see on our site and on our shelves.<\/p>\n<p>For example, we\u2019ll post photos of items we are considering purchasing or brands we could partner with for Pink Lily. Then we\u2019ll use everyone\u2019s responses and feedback to make any final decisions. This helps shoppers feel like insiders and part of the family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ArticleBody-InlineImage-107008253\" class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageEmbed--34uz8\" data-test=\"InlineImage\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-wrapper--2zwoR\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imagePlaceholder--3rDiU\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageContainer--ZhYfv\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-test=\"InlineImage-pictureContainer\"><picture data-test=\"Picture\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008253-1643396616032-Pink_Lily_Team_-_1M_Instagram_Followers.jpg?v=1644329678&amp;w=740&amp;h=416\" media=\"(min-width: 1340px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008253-1643396616032-Pink_Lily_Team_-_1M_Instagram_Followers.jpg?v=1644329678&amp;w=630&amp;h=354\" media=\"(min-width: 1020px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008253-1643396616032-Pink_Lily_Team_-_1M_Instagram_Followers.jpg?v=1644329678&amp;w=929&amp;h=523\" media=\"(min-width: 760px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008253-1643396616032-Pink_Lily_Team_-_1M_Instagram_Followers.jpg?v=1644329678&amp;w=717&amp;h=403\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/107008253-1643396616032-Pink_Lily_Team_-_1M_Instagram_Followers.jpg?v=1644329678&amp;w=929&amp;h=523\" alt=\"The Pink Lily team celebrating one million Instagram followers.\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-captionContainer--gGYTS\">\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageEmbedCaption--2JK7F\">The Pink Lily team celebrating one million Instagram followers.<\/div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage-styles-makeit-imageEmbedCredit--1Wqj7\">Photo: Tori Gerbig<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>We also ship products in custom bags printed with our company logo and the hashtag #pinklilystyle.

Empower loyal customers to be brand ambassadors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I always encourage entrepreneurs to carefully consider how they can design a brand ambassador program that resonates with their customers.<\/p>\n<p>At Pink Lily, our program offers paid positions \u2014 with a 10% commission offered on every sale \u2014 to an exclusive group of longtime customers who can authentically vouch for the products. This is an important, sustainable part of our marketing strategy, and generated about $7.5 million in sales last year.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Find something you can truly own<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s essential to carve out a niche or a product line that you can exclusively own as a company. What will come to mind when consumers hear the name of your brand?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll often buy out a vendor\u2019s entire inventory when we find a special product, for example, so that no other retailer can access it.
