Today we’d like to introduce you to Christa Dyer
Hi Christa, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
It started a year or so ago, I made this taco seasoning at home and thought it was great so I gifted some to family at Christmas. They raved about it and encouraged me to start selling it. So this past fall, I worked on my recipe more, designed packaging, started marketing online and had to come up with a name that catches the eye more than “Christa’s Taco Mix”. That’s when Basic B!tch Seasoning Co. came into play. It’s a fun name (that reflects me, lol) and I knew the name would stand out and it describes me perfectly.
I make sure to hit all the boxes to maximize my customer base. I use clean ingredients that are paleo, gluten-free, sugar-free and keto!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
We’re still starting up so nothing has been smooth. The biggest struggle has been funding this passion. Any extra funds I have, goes right into the business from buying ingredients to packaging and more. I even started to run Door Dash just to make extra money to support this dream.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
My background has nothing to do with food. I was actually a terrible chef up until the last year or so. But making this spice mix has ignited a flame and I really enjoy cooking now and am actually good at it! I’m excited for some of the other blends that I’m perfecting to come out with this summer.
To circle back, my professional career has been in Museums and Attractions. I’ve ran museum/zoo and retail operations for over 20 years.
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
Be patient! Success won’t happen overnight.
