True, Taylor Swift made friendship bracelets popular thanks to her song "You're on your own, kid." But the brand Little Words Project has been making friendship bracelets long before Swifties adopted them in full force. Little Words Project launched in 2013 as a quasi-side hustle of founder Adriana Carrig. But the project soon turned into a standalone business. Fast forward to today, Little Words Project has 12 stores around the U.S., is profitable and has hit a revenue run rate of over $20 million. Carrig joined this week's Modern Retail Podcast and spoke about the brand's journey and what it's focused on in the year to come. As Carrig sees it, community is what has helped Little Words Project be so successful thus far. In its early days, Carrig would post on Instagram -- before it became crowded with preened photos and airbrushed influencers -- about what the business was and how she was growing it. "[It was] really just bringing our community on along for the ride," she said. "It definitely was the foundation for what the community ultimately became, which was this group of friends that just want to support one another, help one another, when they're down." It's easy to start an online community, but harder to keep it at the forefront when a business grows. For example, in 2022, Little Words Project expanded beyond its direct-to-consumer roots into large stores like Target. "When it comes to the big-box story and how we keep that community build, it's really just about making decisions with the concept of the community first," she said. That meant making sure she was able to market Little Words Project in the same ways she had been doing online for years, as well as keeping the products at the same price point. And while Carrig has considered fading into the background and not being the brand's figurehead, she now realizes, "I do want to be at the forefront." This remains true even when the products go viral, as was the case with the Taylor Swift song. The friendship bracelet became one of the summer's hottest accessories, after Swift's fans started gifting them to each other during her Eras tour concerts. But, according to Carrig, while other brands tried to ride the wave of Swift fandom -- making new products to try and go viral -- Little Words Project changed nothing. But, the company was still able to be part of the fervor in bigger ways compared to brands that were only just now jumping on the trend. Musician Lance Bass gifted Taylor Swift a stack of friendship bracelets from Little Words Project on stage at the VMAs last year. But even with the help of Swift, Carrig said the business has been so good that the Swift bump was only negligible. "We saw a less than 1% sales lift from that collection, which is immaterial when you think about the overall brand presence," Carrig said. "And I think it just goes to show that the brand had its own legs before Taylor. And while the rest of the world who jumped on Taylor-adjacent things -- that maybe didn't make sense to their regular product assortment -- they might have seen a more significant lift because they really did grift."

Adriana Carrig is the founder and CEO of Little Words Project, a jewelry company that's on a mission to inspire and spread kindness one word at a time. Adriana was motivated to start her business due to her personal experience with bullying growing up. She started making bracelets that acted as affirmations for her and her sorority sisters in college. While being an entrepreneur was never in her plans, she immediately saw the value of her idea and was quickly affirmed when she saw her sorority sisters continued bracelet-making long after she graduated. Seeing this fueled her to start a business and in 2013 the Little Words Project was born. Adriana has self-funded the brand with $5,000 of her own money and grew it to over $20 million in revenue before they brought on their first investor. She understood the impact of what these wearable affirmations can do for the rest of the population and the rest is history. The brand has also built a cult following of loyal customers and boasts celebrity fans including Lance Bass, Kourtney Kardashian, Alicia Keys, and more. The company has over 1,000+ retail partners – including Target and Nordstrom – and is set to have 12 retail stores by the end of this year.In this week's episode, we talk to Adriana about how she went from beading bracelets and shipping them out herself at her parent's basement to growing the business into what it is today. We talk about her experience with bullying and how it has inspired her to start her business, what it means to fail forward, and the importance of taking the first step. She opens up about how she dealt with naysayers who thought that she couldn't build a real business around $25 bracelets, the steps she took from Day 1 on building the most incredible brand and community and the messy truth about entrepreneurship that no one talks about. The interview is all about intuitive entrepreneurship, how listening to your gut can be your biggest superpower, and so much more. In this episode, we'll talk to Adriana about:* The power of taking the first step. [04:16]* Burnout and infertility experience. [08:10]* Adriana's childhood and upbringing. [14:19]* Facing bullying and cultivating confidence. [14:17]* The inspiration behind the Little Words Project. [20:28]* Facing doubts and criticism in product development.

This Episode, I chat with CEO and Founder of Little Words Project, Adriana. After years of bullying, Adriana started making bracelets in college for herself and her sorority sisters. The wearable affirmations reminded us of our worth and got us through the tough times together. Ten years and millions of bracelets later, the Little Words Project® community is living proof that kindness is a superpower. https://www.instagram.com/littlewordsproject/ https://www.instagram.com/adrianacarrig/

Today the ladies embrace the weather change  and discuss a winter wardrobe staple. Shanea shares a phenomenon that occurred in her city over the past weekend. The ladies also discuss the book Shanea is reading to catch up so that they can start their new TV series. No spoilers, but she does tell about how she's found the book so far, so if you were on the fence about “Lessons in Chemistry” this is a must listen - again, no spoilers - we promise! There's a whole lot more on a whole lot more so tune in!!! :)

Adriana Carrig, the founder of Little Words Project, is on the Female Founder World podcast with Jasmine Garnsworthy! At college Adriana started beading bracelets for her friends with uplifting messages. People liked them, she spent $5,000 of her savings to turn it into a business, and realized this could be a big idea that blends profit and purpose. She bootstrapped that business to become Little Words Project, a company that hit $20 million in annual sales last year! She has collaborated with huge brands like Dunkin and Barbie, is worn by Taylor Swift, and is sold in 900+ stores including Target and 12 of their own Little Words project boutiques. I'm always fascinated by people who have the confidence to ask questions and show up for their business at such a young age, and build into something impactful. Adriana has some interesting thoughts on this in the show—what it takes to overcome that self-doubt, plus the specific approach that she took and that she believes made her business successful. Jump into the show for the full conversation. This is a good one, besties.

Adriana dealt with bullying her entire life. In college, she made bracelets for her sorority as a way to remind the women of self love and community. Soon, she realized that she could combine her desire to be a boss with her love of inspirational bracelet making to create a company that would reach the masses and help foster a community of encouraging women.  Today, we sit down with Adriana Carrig, founder and CEO of Little Words Project, a bracelet company that aims to build community and encouragement. She shares her secrets to hiring, how her marketing has changed over the years, how Little Words Project got into Target, and so much more.  “We really, as women, needed a reminder, a daily reminder to be kind to one another, love ourselves, and then also kind of lift one another up and kind of share that love as we come across it.” - Adriana Carrig If you're looking to take your business to the next level, join the Entreprenista League today at entreprenista.com/join.

This week Amanda is joined by very special guest, Adriana Carrig. Adrianna is the founder and CEO of The Little Words Project. The Little Words Project aims to inspire and encourage people to be kind to themselves and to pay that kindness forward, one bracelet at a time. Now, as one of the biggest bracelet companies in the world, Adriana and Amanda discuss how it all started in her parent's basement with just one bracelet. They discuss how she grew her business, and why having a solid vision and core values is what really matters.

Adriana Carrig founded the original word bracelet– Little Words Project. What started in her parents basement has now grown to 40 employees, 7 locations, and huge brand collaborations with companies like Nike, Barbie, WNBA, Dunkin Donuts. Just like so many great companies, Adriana's was started from pain– she was bullied as a young person and wanted to inject the world with some more kindness. Although the company has grown and changed, that mission of kindness has sustained throughout. Despite doubters, Adriana hasn't changed her core perspective in the last decade of building her company. By staying true to her brand's values and taking bold, strategic risks, she's been able to serve the original customers who keep the brand growing year-after-year. She shares Why the key to taking on any tough project is to “just start beading” When she knew she really had something special (post sorority). How facing cruelty + bullying throughout her life inspired to build a brand of kindness. Why she breaks the stereotype that women are risk averse. How her brand continues to grow on the strength of the foundational original customer. Why copycat companies don't faze her at all. What it feels like to grow from a family-size business to dozens of employees. How she went from making her bracelets in her parents' house to the CEO of a multi-million dollar business

In this episode: Staying optimistic through the hard stuff Deciding not to care what others think Where were you, where are you, & where do you want to be? Being resourceful - figure it out! Be kind & pass it on Adriana Carrig is a powerhouse entrepreneur who is trying to change the world one word at a time. Inspired by her own experiences growing up and enduring years of girl on girl bullying, she wanted to change what she saw as a negative bonding tool that many girls have the tendency to use - coming together by putting down others. As the founder of Little Words Project, her mission is to encourage women to respect and empower one another rather than to compete with one another. It is her firm belief that there is plenty of success to go around, and we can truly succeed if and when we learn to stop competing and start supporting. I’m so excited to share today’s episode with you all, where we have a truly honest discussion & Adriana opens up about her experience & how she took the noise around her and decided to instead turn it into something impactful. She shares with us how she didn’t let her lack of knowledge or expertise stop her from starting something she was excited about, but instead it encouraged her to embrace those around her, BELIEVE that she could and just go for it. “If we can all kind of remind ourselves of those moments of just feeling like possibility is out there, and that we have an option. We always have an option & a choice, no matter where you are in life, there is somewhere, in a fold, an option.” PUMP-UP SONG: Cough Syrup by Young the Giant Quotes: “You cannot change what people think of you, you cannot change how people are going to perceive you through their lenses. All you can do is be confident in how you view yourself, put that woman out there & not give a shit anymore about what other people think.” “You have to just actively decide no, not today. Today I am gonna be myself & I’m not gonna care.” “The first one through the wall is always the bloodiest.” – Bill Carrig “If you want it, you CAN achieve it.” – Adrianna’s mom “You are the architect of your own destiny.” “You cannot compare yourself to the left or the right, you can only compare yourself forward & backwards.” “It’s okay to keep learning & to be different.” “When you build your own self-esteem, suddenly you’re building your own confidence. And when you have confidence, you’re going after your dreams.” “Do whatever you would do to make sure that you stay proud of yourself when this is all said and done, and that really gonna be the thing that makes you take that next step.” “Stop questioning it.

Carla Marie talks to the ULTIMATE Side Hustler. Adriana Carrig started her company, Little Words Project, in her parents basement. It's grown so much over the last 4-5 years that you can actually find her bracelets in stores ALL OVER. Learn about Adriana's story and how Carla Marie played a role in jump starting her business!

Adriana Carrig is the founder and CEO of Little Words Project. She began her company in 2013 after having just graduated with an English Literature degree from The College of New Jersey. During her tenure at TCNJ, Adriana had come up with a version of her brand that she shared with her college sorority. While studying to take the LSAT in preparation for Law School, Adriana came up with the idea to make Little Words Project into a real company. Adriana's vision for the company was to create a kinder world for women wherein collaboration was favored over competition, and its working. The company has doubled year over year since inception and was profitable in its first month of sales. Recently married, Adriana enjoys spending time with her new husband, Bill and they look forward to purchasing their first home together later this month!
