🗣A very real part of building a startup that doesn’t always get talked about.
We are in the process of returning/exchanging nearly 50 boxes of our Ananesis Vanilla Protein Bars to retailers.😣
The reality is, a lot of the lead time had already been used before the product even reached the shelf. We were still rounding out our 12 SKU offering, getting our feet underneath us, and learning how to better manage the process from production to retailer.
The retailer shouldn’t be left holding the bag for that.
So we made it right.
It’s not fun seeing nearly 50 boxes come back, but it’s part of building a business. You learn, you adjust, and you do better next time.
❤We’re grateful for the retailers who took a chance on us and worked through the growing pains with us. Local supporting local 🤝
We’re learning as we go, and we’re getting better every day!💪
