Today we’d like to introduce you to Secoya Holmes.
Secoya, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Bliss Boxes Co. launched in 2018 to carefully curate self-care a la carte boxes! Our curated company launched with five box options; Pamper Her, Pamper Him, Wine Lovers, Coffee Lovers and Baby Bliss. Our initial launch was well-received; however we temporarily closed in August 2019 to prepare for our relocation back to the US. At the beginning of 2020, our founder and curator, Secoya Holmes, officially decided to reimagine Bliss Boxes Co. and focus exclusively on self-care boxes featuring exclusively black artisans. During the planning stage, Bliss Boxes Co. developed both signatures a la carte boxes and prepared to launch monthly subscription boxes. Bliss Boxes Co. is the only subscription box company that focuses on self-care while exclusively featuring black artisans. Our a la carte boxes range from $38-$88 and our monthly subscription box is available for $38 per month.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
As a small company, we faced challenges with securing the right vendors who met our brand standards while remaining cost-effective. Bliss Boxes Co. is operated 100% debt free, which presents challenges with bulk orders. We have found a rhythm with our vendor selection and happy to include small and large brands in our virtual shop. The current challenge we’re facing are shipping delays. As we exclusively use USPS, we’re experiencing some issues with getting our curated boxes to our Bliss Besties.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
Bliss Boxes Co. carefully curates self care essentials and brings them directly to your door step. As we understand that there are many facets to womanhood, our boxes are designed to speak to each area of your life. The second mission of our brand is to provide a platform to showcase the amazing artisans found in the Black community. Each item is examined and tested before bringing it to our market. We take pride in providing pure bliss throughout your experience with our brand. From social media, web browsing, commerce transactions, shipping, packaging and most importantly, curated boxes, we’re bringing you pure bliss. Bliss Boxes Co. currently offers six a la carte boxes, three apparel items and monthly themed subscription boxes.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Success defined for Bliss Boxes Co. is the ability to remain profitable in business while holding true to our core values. Focusing on self-care means more than lattes or facials. It’s about providing tools to tackle the not so pretty areas to ensure you’re taking care of yourself mind, body and soul. We select artisans exclusively who embody those principles to ensure our clients receive the very best.
