Today we’d like to introduce you to Dana Wells.
Hi Dana, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Pate & Co. officially launched in January 2020. Building the brand was inspired by my combined love of personalized gifts and body and skincare products. Pate & Co. body is a handcrafted line of small-batch, organic and natural bath and body products made in the Palmetto State, South Carolina.
The inspiration for my brand came from my grandmother, Victoria. My love of self-care is founded on her instilling the importance of self-care and wellness in me growing up. Pate and Co. is named in her honor and memory. Since launching my body and skincare line, I’ve also launched consulting services to guide others through the process of building a successful brand.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
For the most part, the road has been smooth. The struggle I have would be considered a “good” struggle, which is keeping up with the volume of orders I received. I’m blessed to have a trusted brand that is flourishing and a brand the receives an outpouring of love.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
By day, as I always tell folks, I am a high school Special Education teacher. I also hold high education degrees in the areas of Organizational Leadership & Behavior Analysis. Being a Special Education teacher is a very rewarding experience, it allows me to assist & watch students reach their goals and exceed beyond their disabilities.
When it comes to my “night job”, Pate and Co., I’m known for, proud of and what sets me apart from others is providing luxurious and quality products. I use only nutrient-rich ingredients of the highest quality that have been selected to indulge the senses and responsibly care for the skin. This means that, unlike other bath & body products that may only include one or two active ingredients and fillers for the rest, every ingredient in each Pate & Co. product has a purpose.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
Self-care and wellness have been huge over the past recent years, I see this industry continuing to trend upwards. People are becoming more in-tuned with what not only goes in their body but what goes on in their body as well.
