Today marks two years since I woke up and decided I was going to try my hand at Addicted 2 Dirt again.
I remember that morning like it was yesterday. I woke up excited about the idea from the night before, got on the interweb with the help of our friend Lee, filed for the trademark and business license, and started researching everything I could. Print shops, embroidery shops, shirt wholesalers, costs, and what it was actually going to take to make this thing work.
I downloaded a free graphic design program and got to work.
Since then, with the help of my cousin, I’ve designed every shirt, hat, sticker, and just about everything else that has come out of the A2D tent. We built the entire interior of our merch trailer ourselves. I’ve learned how to build and run a website, handle online sales, figure out the dos and don’ts of social media, and now I’m teaching myself video editing.
We’re still a small brand, so about 99% of everything we do is done in house. I still work a day job to support myself and help keep this brand moving forward.
We’ve come a long way in these first two years. There have been a lot of long nights, a lot of learning as we go, plenty of mistakes, and a whole lot of miles traveled. But seeing people wearing something we created, coming back to the trailer, ordering online, following along, and supporting what we’re building makes every bit of it worth it.
I can’t wait to see where the next two years take us.
Thank you to every single person who has ever bought something from us, stopped by the trailer, followed our pages, liked a post, shared something, told a friend, or supported A2D in any way.
None of this happens without all of you.
Cheers to 2 years of Addicted 2 Dirt. 🍻
And we’re just getting started.
