Small biz life: it’s rewarding, chaotic, and at times… pretty brutal. Here’s what we’ve learned 👇
Following on from our latest post, we wanted to share a bit more about what’s been going on behind the scenes at HenDog. 💛
It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster lately — navigating VAT thresholds, tight margins, and the constant juggle that comes with running a small creative business. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that we’re not alone. So many of us are feeling the same pinch, and it’s strangely comforting (and heartbreaking) all at once.
Going forward into 2026, we’ve decided to restructure — working smarter, not harder, so we can keep doing what we love for the long haul. 💪
We still absolutely want and need your support and orders (please don’t hold back!). It just means we’ll be changing up how and where we sell — focusing on the channels that work best for us and allow HenDog to survive and thrive long-term. It’s all about sustainability — both for the business and our sanity!
It’s been re-energising, actually, and we’re feeling optimistic for what’s to come. 🌿
And on a final note… if you’ve got friends, family, or a local maker nearby, please check in on them — maybe share their work, send a message, or pop by their page. Because it’s bloody hard out there, and a bit of support really does go a long way. 💛
We’re just so lucky we’ve got each other — thank the Lord for that.
Love,
Soph & Lu xx
