How Your Mission Gives Marketing Meaning with Brandee Gallagher [Rockstar Reins + SmarTack]
Welcome to the show notes! Remember, this is a brief summary from the How to Market Your Horse Business podcast. You'll want to listen to the entire episode for all the good stuff!
What if your marketing didn’t always have to feel like selling?
Brandee Gallagher started Rockstar Reins by lacing a pair of reins for her daughter, a purpose-filled reminder that she was enough as she went out to run the barrel pattern. Today, she’s a full-time school administrator running Rockstar Reins and SmarTack from her garage, celebrating her first $1 million in total sales.
But she’ll be the first to say she’s not chasing a number to measure her success. She’s focused on the mission while delivering excellent products.
In this candid conversation about building and growing an equine business, we talk about the road from ten SmarTack prototypes to a launch that sold out in three hours, why giving away free product didn’t build a sponsored rider team (and the commission-and-competition structure that does), and what she learned from growing before she was ready.
If you’ve ever felt like success only has one path, or perhaps you’ve been chasing someone else’s version of success and veered from the original heart behind your business, this conversation will get you back on YOUR path and give you the tools to make it happen.
