Beardbrand experienced nearly $1 million in losses between 2023 and 2024, depleting cash reserves back to 2014 levels. The crisis was exacerbated by Target’s abrupt end to a long-standing partnership, leaving Beardbrand with $200,000 in unpaid inventory after a revamp of their products for Target's sustainability initiative. The exclusivity agreement hindered their ability to sell on other platforms, leading to expired inventory and destruction of goods. Despite these challenges, Beardbrand remains operational and continues to learn from these experiences.
In 2023, Target implemented a sustainability initiative, prompting Beardbrand to switch packaging from glass and plastic to aluminum, enhancing recyclability and aligning with eco-conscious goals.
After years of partnership with Target, the company ghosted Beardbrand, leaving them with nearly $200,000 worth of unpaid product, drastically impacting their cash flow.
