How does a TikTok creator turn his passion for Black-owned brands into the #1 marketplace for Black-owned spirits?
In this episode, Keri sits down with Charles Everett, the founder of urfriendcharles.com, to share how he built a thriving e-commerce platform, one bottle at a time.
Charles opens up about how his idea started during the pandemic, what it takes to build partnerships in a highly regulated industry, and how he’s helping consumers discover and shop hundreds of Black-owned liquor, wine, and non-alcoholic brands.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The challenges of launching an e-commerce platform
- The unthinkable hurdles and costs small businesses face to launch their spirits products
- Why non-alcoholic beverages are becoming more popular
- How to use A.I. to enhance shopper experiences
- The power of community and collaboration in brand growth.
A portion of all proceeds from UrFriendCharles, including purchase will go directly to GOODProjects, a Washington, D.C nonprofit breaking the cycle of generational poverty by helping families and youth create self-sufficient lives.
