A Message From Our Founder

 

— 🍁 —

Hi, I’m Kristen — founder of Canadian Wellness Box.

Supporting Canadian entrepreneurs and keeping more of our dollars here in Canada has always been important — but right now, it feels more important than ever.

And the more involved I’ve become with Canadian makers and small businesses, the more I’ve realized something: I really don’t think most of us have any idea just how much is being created right here in our own country.

There are incredible entrepreneurs and small businesses in communities across Canada making amazing products, building brands and creating things many of us simply don’t know exist yet.

I wanted there to be a place where we could find them.

Not just a place for Canadians to discover Canadian products, but a place for Canadian entrepreneurs to have their products discovered.

I’ve been an entrepreneur for nearly 30 years, and more recently, as both a maker and retail store owner, I began to see just how difficult it can be for a small business to reach beyond its own community.

There are only so many markets a maker can attend, places they can travel and people they can reach. Meanwhile, somewhere across Canada could be a customer who would absolutely love what they’ve created — they simply haven’t found each other yet.

That’s the bridge I wanted Canadian Wellness Box to create.

We help Canadian products travel farther than the people who make them can. Customers get to experience products from businesses across the country, discover something they love and know exactly where to find that maker again.

And I wanted it to work for the maker, too. That’s why we don’t charge placement fees or take commissions from the businesses we feature in our boxes. We’re not trying to stand between a maker and their next customer — we want to be the reason they found each other.

Every box has the possibility of creating one of those connections. A new favourite. A new customer. A Canadian business someone now knows by name.

We may be sending the box, but what we’re really hoping to deliver is the introduction.

There are so many incredible Canadian businesses waiting to be discovered.

Let’s find them. 🇨🇦
