Owl Be Sweatin'

the Fox 19 morning news. You're going to be so jealous about this. Casey and Mallory DeBraw were on a sand volleyball team and found a need for a great headband that worked for all athletes. So they started making their own headbands and a few years later it has evolved into 69 different kinds of awesome headbands and it's part of Albie Swettin. Hi, I'm Casey DeBraw and I'mallory DeBraw. And our company is Albie Swettin where we stay up all night so you can sweat all day. We're a sister in law team born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio and we have developed a product that every woman and girl wants and actually does what it claims to do and that's why we're here. We're seeking $50,000 in exchange for 20% equity of our company. Both being athletes our entire lives and investing in countless heads of products that simply didn't work. We knew that there had to be a better solution. We started wearing our new headbands to our sand volleyball league and when women started to approach us, asked us where they could buy them. We knew that we had something from there we developed our brand and created a product that we love. Women love and we are confident in saying that you will love to after months of development and four phases of product improvement. We have the best athletic headbands on the market today. Let's be honest, none of us have the same head shape or size so why should we all have to wear the same size headband? At Alby'sweatin' you don't anymore. All of our products were designed with your head shape in mind. Our headbands have an adjustable backing so it will fit you perfectly and you have the ability to adjust it to your liking. No more of those dreadful headband headaches ladies and gents. The headbands are lined in a non-slip velvet material which prevents the headband from sliding, pinching, and pulling your hair. What? That's amazing! And on top of that our products are super fashionable. Bonus! What's a workout without a cute accessory? Right? So here's how it works. First adjust the headband to its loosest setting and slip it over your head. Next you're going to slide the headband into place and you're going to adjust it to your liking and that's it. You'ready to go! Easiest pie! There are other companies out there that make non-slip headbands but what sets us apart is our innovative adjustable strap. The traditional non-slip headbands are either too big, too small, or over time the elastic stretches out and makes the headband unusable. The adjustable strap completely sets us apart from the competition. Casey has a smaller sized head and she always said that she hated to wear headbands. Well we discovered she doesn't hate them, she just didn't And sharks, that was our moment. Let's make our headbands adjustable. We started our business a little over a year ago. Our first year we did approximately 35,000 in sales. 10,000 of that was profit. We don't have any outside investors, debt, or loans associated with the company and our startup investment was about $2,000. This year we are projected to generate about $90,000 in sales. High five! Our product is not patented or patent pending. After much research and working with two patent attorneys were advised to not file for a patent at this time. However our brand is completely registered in trademarked. To date we have over 100 patterns in our style catalog and we are constantly looking to add to our collection. We recently launched our woven line and we will release our thinny band in March as well as our bootseek line in June.

We have had countless product reviews written, have been featured in Senseys Cheek magazine n Women and girls all across the country are loving our brand. After watching the show since the first season we have always wanted to apply. The other entrepreneurs have truly been an inspiration to us and we decided we can do this. Right now our biggest challenge is production. We are two women handling every aspect of our business which includes hand-making all product. We would use the money to create a more efficient manufacturing plan which includes manufacturing, production, and packaging to help us gain a greater market share.
