This month’s Customer Spotlight is on Gettin’ Lippy, a company that makes lip balm tubes that snap apart to reveal multiple flavors. Lightning Labels conducted the following interview with company owner Bri Silver.
Gettin' Lippy's unique lip balm tubes snap apart to reveal multiple flavors.
Lightning Labels: There are a lot of lip balms on the market. What makes yours different?
Gettin’ Lippy: Ours has at least 2 flavor options in every tube. Most of our tubes offer three flavors in every tube, but we have also put more flavors than that in one tube. It just depends what our customer wants and needs!
How did your business get started?
I was tired of buying lip balms that didn’t work, meaning they would either make my lips worse or wouldn’t do anything for my lips to be smooth. I also hated that if I bought a lip balm and didn’t like the flavor, that I would throw the whole tube away. I wanted a tube with more than one flavor so that if you didn’t like one flavor, you could keep the tube since it had other ones. So you might use it up just to get to the next flavor, or you could snap that layer of flavor off and go onto the next flavor!
Where do you draw inspiration for your products?
I really like feedback from my customers. The flavors they ask for are flavors that I try to incorporate into my lip balm combinations. I also have two boys and they are very honest about what they think about the flavors I should put together. They help me out a lot!
Would you like to tell us a little bit about how your business operates?
Right now, I am the only one besides my sons that works at Gettin’ Lippy. I believe that will be changing very soon, but for now I do it all — including packaging, taking orders, marketing, stocking supplies, and shipping!… Read the rest of Q&A with Lip Balm Maker Gettin' Lippy
