Reflecting on 2023: A Year of Triumphs, Challenges, and Gratitude
As the year draws to a close, it's the perfect time to reflect on the journey we've shared throughout 2023. From exciting product launches to overcoming challenges, this year has been full of busy excitement. Join us as we wrap up the highlights, milestones, and lessons learned in this end-of-year review.
A Year of Achievements
This year we have celebrated many exciting milestones including expanding our product offering by adding a vast range of leather accessories. This has been in the pipeline for a long time, and it has been hugely rewarding to finally be able to share all our hard work with you.
We have also recently taken part in our first ever market stall. Having been a solely online business since being founded back in 2012. We were keen to gain some exposure in our local area. Engaging with customers in person was invaluable, providing interesting insights and lessons into retail on the front line!
Learning and Growing Through Adversity
In 2023, businesses faced multifaceted challenges in their pursuit of sustainability, including the need to navigate complex supply chains, adopt eco-friendly materials, and address consumer expectations for transparent and ethical practices.
Here at Snakehive, we are committed to fostering sustainability by consistently implementing incremental measures. In a recent initiative, we reviewed the material choices for our new products, transitioning from traditional foam inner packaging to a more eco-conscious cardboard alternative, thereby mitigating plastic waste. While seemingly small, these incremental changes mark positive steps towards a sustainable future, reflecting our belief in the efficacy of consistent progress.
Snakehive's Top Picks 2023
With such a wide range of new products, curating our top picks this year proved challenging. Yet, after thorough consideration, the below products have emerged as the standout selections for 2023:
1.
Metro Dappled Leather
The surge in sales for our dappled leather Metro colours has led us to consider expanding this line in 2024, meeting the growing demand for these stylish accessories.
2.
Vintage Wallets
Our timeless Vintage Leather Wallet remains a customer favourite, using the same materials and manufacturing process since it's inception, it showcases enduring reliability.
3.
Camera Lens Protectors
A long-awaited addition, our camera Lens protectors have been well-received, acknowledging the need to protect not just the front but also the camera of your phone.
4.
Glasses Cases
A recent addition to our expanded accessory range, our glasses cases have quickly become a popular solution to the perennial question: Where did I leave my glasses?
