Kasey chimes in, “For our first year, demand was always more than what we had. We primarily relied on Instagram for a lot of our company growth,” says Tim. “That was where we got our first 500 customers, creating an initial groundswell of people who were into lashes.

FlutterHabit was catapulted by people within the Jacksons’ network that had a few thousand social media followers sharing their experiences with it. Last year, the brand was on track to register a 300% to 400% sales increase. In less than a year, it surpassed $1 million in sales. FlutterHabit is profitable on each order. In 48 hours, the brand’s sales covered their investment. The Jacksons spent around $12,000 on inventory to launch their faux lash brand FlutterHabit in June 2019.

“I wanted to figure out how to get that natural, effortless look at home where you don’t even need makeup. What she didn’t love was the price-professional lash extension services can run anywhere from $100 to $500-and the inconvenience of having to visit a salon to have the extensions done.
