Montana Mutt Grows Sales and E-commerce Business with GFDA
Kimberley Winchell owns Montana Mutt in Cut Bank. Montana Mutt specializes in all natural dog treats, snout, and paw balm. “The inspiration for the first recipe we ever had was baking with my daughter on Christmas Day,” said Kimberley.
Kimberley noticed a need for all-natural dog treats, perfected one recipe at a time.
“I had no plan in mind. I had no business plan. We started working with GFDA and Small Business Advisor Rich Gannon, specifically, 6 months in. The Etsy page I had was going well, but I wanted to have something that was Montana Mutts alone, and knowing that we had a local resource through GFDA we were able to get a website built. I wouldn’t have known how to do that. He knew the language of the platform and offered a free class to me and other small business owners; through that class and some amazing one-on-one time that was invaluable, we have a beautiful website that continually brings orders in.”
Five years later, Montana Mutt sells products in 31 stores throughout Montana, Utah, and Idaho.
“Rich and GFDA meet me where I am at, and I am extremely grateful.”
