Our January numbers and other updates
Hello Republic family! We wanted to update you on some of our activities and accomplishments since our campaign closed in November. We’ve entered our busiest time of year, particularly as safer-at-home orders continue around the country and people are experiencing real cooking fatigue. Many new customers are coming to us seeking new or a more interesting variety of flavors, as well as a reset from the unwanted effects of pandemic eating.
Here’s how it’s going.
We hit over a quarter million in gross revenue in the first 4 weeks of January and sales continue to climb in NY, LA, and across the entire country. Our nationwide shop continues to gain new customers as we expand our geographic distribution.
Our special RENEW edition of the Provenance Detox sold out in January! We are offering it again beginning February 8.
We partnered with THE WELL as their preferred meal delivery provider on their 15 day Gut Health Cleanse. Dr. Frank Lipman, renowned functional medicine doctor and Chief Medical Officer of The Well, and his team of health coaches, have supported us for years and we are pleased to continue to provide doctor-approved nourishment to their patients and clients.
We completed a brand refresh which we will unveil later this year. Exciting new look and feel on the way!
We hired 4 new staff members in kitchen production, client fulfillment, and technology. All hands on deck for what is sure to be our busiest year yet.
We launched a new software platform and joined forces with a new logistics provider which will result in lower costs, larger delivery zone, better package tracking, and greater customer satisfaction.
PRAISE AND PRESS
Thanks in part to the growth of the meal delivery industry as a whole, and with our emphasis on health and creative flavors, we’ve received a ton of favorable press this year. Read all about us on Byrdie, Forbes, Woman's World, Women’s Health, Modern Retail, BizBash, and listen to my interview on the Female Startup Club podcast!
PERKS
At long last, your perks are on the way! These are our Valentine's gifts to you, our investors! Keep your eye on your Inbox for details coming in mid-February.
GIVE BACK
Last but not least, in conjunction with activities planned in celebration of Black History Month, we are donating 1% of all February sales The Loveland Foundation. As a brand founded and operated by women who believe in the importance of mental health and self-care, Provenance is spotlighting this organization’s work to honor and protect the mental health of Black women and girls.
At Provenance, we continue to focus on delivering delectable culinary creations to busy, time-pressed professionals. Personalized nutrition is the source for transformational change, helping us all live as well as possible for as long as possible. And isn't that what we all ultimately want?
Happy Lunar New Year and a joyous 2021 to all.
In good health,
Caroll
