Hey there.
Welcome to Hustle Box.
Hustle Box is a curated lifestyle treat box available as a one-off purchase or monthly subscription. Inside are products exclusively from UK small businesses, with a focus on handmade, female-founded, minority-owned and eco-friendly businesses.
What is Hustle Box Ltd?
Hustle Boxes are full of treats from small businesses. treat yourself to a monthly subscription full of lovely surprises, or treat a loved one to a ready-to-post* or custom built box*
*Launching later!
What makes it different?
We're shunning the mass-produced imported cr*p, in favour of carefully hand-picked items from UK-based small businesses, with an emphasis on handmade, female-founded, minority owned and eco-friendly. These values will be highlighted on literature included in each box, explaining the provenence of each item to the customer.
Who is Hustle Box For?
Hustle Box is aimed at women in the UK. Our monthly subscription box is the perfect pick-me-up, or you can treat yourself, or someone you care about*, to a ready-to-post or customer built box on demand, delivered directly to the recipient. If you love supporting small businesses too, and care about the provenence of your purchases, you can feel extra good about treating yourself with Hustle Box.
*Guys, they make a great gift (hint, hint!)
What do you get in a Hustle Box?
The contents of our monthly subscription boxes are a closely guarded secret. Each box will be carefully curated around a different theme and will consist entirely of products from small businesses, designed to give you a monthly treat. Contents may include stationery, accessories, edible treats, spa products and more! On subscribing for recurring boxes, you'll be able to complete a customisation form, allowing us to tailor your boxes to your preferences too.
What will my money be used for?
This is a brand new business so these funds are vital to get it off the ground. I'm currently sourcing products for my first 2 monthly boxes so the funds would help purchase these. I'm designing my website myself to keep costs down but I need funds for the ecommerce hosting platform, the domain and associated email. And then theres the other un-sexy stuff, like the actual boxes, the packaging and postage costs, the branding materials and the marketing.
In the case that the project becomes overfunded (!) I'll invest in more products to stock the virtual store, allowing me to offer ready-to-post and custom-built boxes. Otherwise, I hope to introduce these further down the line once the monthly box is established.
Will you be shipping to my country?
Initially, at least, Hustle Box will only be available in the UK.
Why should I support your project?
This is not only something I'm passionate about, it's something I think there's a real market for. We're (rightfully) shopping more sustainably post-pandemic, and the provenance of our purchases matters. Your money will not only help get my project off the ground but because I'm buying from other small businesses, it will help keep them afloat too.
The subscription market is growing exponentially and is set to grow by a further 18.4% globally over the next 5 years.
I have retail, marketing, ecommerce, buying and sales analysis experience which will help me make this project a success. And I have another micro business so I'm prepared for the amount of work required to get this project started and to keep it going.
Personally, my ADHD makes me highly creative and incredibly driven (a double threat in the world of entrepreneurship and another reason I'll see this project through to completion!). It's been a rocky start to 2023 for me and I'm determined to turn that around and you'll be helping me do that and work around my family.
