About This Webinar

Anthony Orisses started the lifestyle brand RARE CUT in the middle of COVID, when remote work was decimating apparel sales. Using an entrepreneurial mindset, Anthony quickly surpassed $50,000 in sales within the first 30 days of going-live.

We’ll learn the secrets behind his launch, his commitment to local craftsmanship, and what’s next as the world goes back to in-office work and live events.

We'll also hear from the CEO of Arka, Phil Akhzar, on how brands can leverage branded and unbranded eco-friendly packaging solutions to drive loyalty and post-holiday retention.

In this webinar you'll learn how to:

Leverage Kickstarter to position your pre-launch brand for long-term success.
Create purposeful and profitable relationships with customers through social impact initiatives.
Design, prototype, and manufacture your first product.
Create an unforgettable unboxing experience that drives awareness, retention, and loyalty.
