Survival is Success

The events industry took a huge hit during the widespread shelter-in-place orders surrounding the coronavirus, and Sam Eitzen came to this devastating realization very quickly as gigs for his photo and video booth company, The SnapBar, were wiped out in a matter of days.

In this episode, Sam explains how his thriving Inc. 500 company suddenly found itself without work, and shares his process for — literally overnight — coming up with the idea for a new care package business (aptly named Keep Your City Smiling).

He dives into:

  • How this idea stuck out over 49 others

  • How his team has adapted to the transition, and

  • How they creatively used their existing assets, systems, and contacts to pivot from in-person events to e-commerce.
