Creating the right company culture for your apparel decorating shop isn’t one-size-fits-all. It can be challenging to build an internal culture that aligns with your personal goals, your professional business plan, and your entire team. More often than not, shop owners and managers may ask themselves, how do I build a stellar company culture?

Rich Santo, CEO, and Carlo Oviedo, CRO, of Culture Studio join the Apparelist podcast to talk about this topic in depth. As a massive decorating operation with locations in Chicago and Daytona Beach, Culture Studio has had to work hard at building and maintaining the right balance when it comes to their internal values and structure. They discuss how they built their company culture as they grew Culture Studio, how that applies to their hiring process, and much more in this episode.
