START TO SCALE
Senior product, sourcing and sustainability strategy for founder-led fashion brands
You’ve been running your brand for 2+ years. Your orders are growing and you’re making increasingly expensive decisions around product, suppliers and production, but you don't have a senior-level sounding board. Success is around the corner, but your bestsellers sell out too quickly and you spend more time emailing suppliers than you do on design. Sound familiar?
Start To Scale is for you if:
-
You’re tired of second-guessing every sourcing or pricing decision
-
Your product development feels reactive, chaotic, or overly slow
-
You're trying to grow, but margins are tight and profit is inconsistent
-
You feel unsure what to focus on in order to actually scale
-
You’re lacking support at a strategic, commercial level
Go from uncertainty to clarity with a brand that’s commercially aligned & ready to grow.
Start To Scale will help you to:
Refine your product direction and commercial strategy.
Build a range that’s intentional, profitable and easier to execute.
Simplify your operations.
Stop losing energy in endless development loops or inefficient supply chains.
Empower your commercial decisions.
From pricing and margin planning to range building and sourcing, you’ll have expert guidance at every step.
Build a scalable product strategy.
No more reinventing the wheel every season - create with intention, not panic.
Feel clear-headed and focused.
Fewer spirals of doubt thanks to a clear strategy targeting consistent revenue, increased profits and reduced risk.
This is the transformation you get when you work with me inside Start To Scale:
My client Cat came to me exhausted, almost ready to close her brand but wanting to give it one last push.
Within 3 months we had:
⚡️worked out what was actually selling
⚡️ focused her range
⚡️ built a strategy around increasing her average basket value
Within 6 months, she was seeing consistent sales, stronger margins thanks to bigger, better planned orders, and most importantly, she was less stressed. Cat was in the messy middle. All she needed was clarity, consistency and expert strategy from someone who had been there before.
In her own words:
Natalie helps to manage my range and stock levels, and has helped me negotiate supplier terms I didn't know I could negotiate. Natalie has not only helped me increase my margins, but also given me peace of mind to know that everything is under the watchful eye of a true expert. My only wish is that I'd found Natalie sooner.
