How to Scale Your Handmade/Micro Business with Sam from Gemini Mountain Swimwear
Join us for a workshop with Sam from Gemini Mountain Swimwear! Samantha Alario is a mother of two, heart-led entrepreneur and founder/CEO of Gemini Mountain Swimwear, a sustainable swimwear brand with a mission to make mountain women feel more comfortable, confident, and one of a kind. Sam grew a modest social media following and launched her first line of handmade swimwear in April of 2016. By 2018, production was outsourced and innovated to minimize waste and utilize only sustainable and eco-conscious materials. By 2020, there was a team of 6 in Alberton, MT making swimwear full time and 100% of the production took place in Montana. Now, Sam has a showroom and a cut/sew operation in downtown Missoula.
This workshop aims to equip micro and handmade business owners with strategies to scale their operations sustainably. Participants will learn about enhancing efficiency, maintaining quality, and ensuring long-term viability without compromising on their values or craftsmanship.

you’ve considered taking your business full time, but need help establishing the infrastructure to do so
you’ve experienced fast growth, either online or at markets, and need help creating a plan to manage it
you hope to run your business for many years, even if not full time
