Challenges

Challenges

Challenges

Before partnering with Candid Collective, Original Orchid had no online storefront or functional website, a weak and inconsistent brand identity, and minimal social presence with low engagement. She lacked professional photography or video to showcase her products, and without a trusted platform for buyers to view or purchase, her ability to grow was limited.

Her goal was clear: → Build a brand that feels true to her vision → Establish an online presence → Generate awareness and eventually sales through a professional digital storefront
