Meet Crissy Barker | Brand Owner and Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Crissy Barker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Crissy, we’d love to start by asking you about lessons learned. Is there a lesson you can share with us?
The most important lesson my business has taught me is to be proactive and remain being progressive. Various industries are constantly changing so it is important to be flexible and able to adjust when necessary.

What should our readers know about your business?
My brand is different, and that sets me apart and extremely unique. I offer a service that allows the customer to have an enjoyable shopping experience without having to deal with the crowds, and they can do all of their shopping from the comfort of their home. My selection of items range from skin care products, apparel, shoes, purses, jewelry, electronics and appliances, and many other items. KATD also offers business coaching and mentoring for new business owners, indivudals that may be considering starting a business, and current business owners. I have been mentoring and coaching for over 12 years. My background includes training militiary members that were transitioning out of the military. That training and mentorship included preparation for the civilian world; which included identifying particular career fields of interest, resume writing, interview skills, and so much more.

I am proud of the KATD brand, and it is even more fulfiling to watch it come to life. The creation of this brand has required many sleepless nights, and constant hardwork and dedication with the help of my husband.  I am also constantly thinking of ways to evolve and take the brand to new heights. It hasn’t been easy and I’m still learning some do’s and don’t’s in expansion. I’ve also learned that sometimes resetting is best, and adjusting the plan along the way can assist in growth.

I want the world to know that KATD is striving to become a household name on the market; we also want our customer service to supersede our competitors. We are looking forward to becoming the BEST and most sought after brand.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We would take them to have brunch or lunch at Paradise Resort and then let’s head on down to Mission Beach to shop and experience the beach. I would also take them to Oceanside and hang out there for a few days.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to give recognition to my mother. She has always pushed us to seek better and not to settle for being mediocre. At a young age I always admired my mother’s strength and courage; her drive and determination is unmatched. She always made sure that we were learning and experiencing new things constantly. When me and my siblings were young she would say “there is an entire world out there and I want you all to experience all that you can” Her words and encouragement have followed me all over the world. I strive to be the closest verion of her possible.
