As the snow starts falling and the holidays creep closer, most folks are pulling out their cozy layers and planning mountain escapes. But behind the scenes at SkyGOAT, it’s go time. For a one person business like mine, prepping for winter and the holiday season is a full on adventure. One filled with excitement, hustle, and a serious amount of multitasking.
Running SkyGOAT means wearing a lot of hats. Not the cozy beanie kind (though we make a killer one), but the kind that switches from inventory manager to customer service to social media marketer... all before lunch.
And...when I say we, in the blog below, I mean me...haha. Keep reading for a sweet discount deal you can take advantage of now.
The Realities of Holiday Prep When You’re the Whole Team
Inventory planning isn’t just about counting hoodies and hoping for the best. It’s months of forecasting what our outdoor fam will need when the temps drop. It’s making tough calls on colors, sizing, and fabric weights and balancing what feels right with what fits in the budget.
Marketing ramps up big time this season, too. From writing email campaigns (like this one!) to managing social posts, creating gift guides, and updating the website, there’s a ton to juggle. Throw in managing holiday promotions and market events, and it’s a blur of pixels and fleece.
And let’s not forget shipping and customer service. Every package is packed with love (and a slight adrenaline rush), making sure orders get out on time and questions are answered fast.
The Challenge and the Joy of Steering Your Own Ship
Truth is, being in charge is wild and wonderful. There's no boardroom approval needed, just a gut check and go (and an occasional sanity check with the wife). Time management becomes survival, and prioritization is a sport in itself. Focus is key. So is flexibility. One minute you’re solving a production issue, the next you’re writing a caption about neck gaiters.
But here's the secret: even when it's overwhelming, it's deeply rewarding. There’s something magical about seeing SkyGOAT gear out on the trail, at the brewery, or wrapped under the tree. It reminds me that this isn’t just apparel, it’s part of people’s stories.
Supporting the Outdoor Community
At the heart of SkyGOAT is a deep love for the outdoors and the people who live for it. Whether you’re chasing sunrise at the trailhead or just walking the dog in a mountain town, we design every piece to help you move with comfort, warmth, and confidence.
This season, we’re showing up in markets, trail events, and online to connect, celebrate, and support this rad community. It’s all about helping folks enjoy nature on their terms and staying cozy while doing it.
