Jeff was so excited to swap out his old backpack for the new one. Unfortunately for Jeff, our college junior daughter was around when he opened the packaging. Within about thirty seconds, it was now her backpack. She now carries it everywhere she goes on campus and is always ready to give a demonstration to anyone as to how amazing this backpack is. (Since she is an introvert, I can’t tell you how shocking this is to see.) She’s a true believer.
So what am I asking you to do with all this? First, be encouraged by the story—one man who saw a need and went about trying to solve it even though there was no roadmap other than praying and taking one step at a time.
Second, and most importantly, buy one of these backpacks or bags. (Especially now, since they are offering 20% off the high-end price!)
Because of Covid, much of the “normal” backpack and bag market has been disrupted. Business people aren’t traveling as much. Many students are taking classes online. But these backpacks are still needed! You can help by buying one of them for yourself or as a Christmas present for someone you love.
Finally, share this story widely with your network. Maybe we can drive a groundswell of support for these beautiful backpacks and the women who make them. Who knows, maybe some celebrity influencer is one or two connections away from someone in your network, and GULU Made backpacks could become the “must-have” socially impactful product of the year!
As far as I know, I’ve never written a blog like this before: but I’ve also never seen a product like this before. And if you get one of these backpacks, you will quickly become a true believer, too!
