Cocoa.isms: Funding for New Beauty Brand

Cocoa.isms, LLC sells DIY beauty kits, hair products, and units that reflect natural textures.   5% of the proceeds from each sale are donated to ‘Black Girls Code.’ We want to provide all of the tools customers need to execute a creative ‘hair vision’. Currently, we are developing natural hair serums for type 4 hairs.

***We are not official partners of BGC but we want to support their work as much as possible***

Over the next 12 months, we have a 4 step plan intended to help us grow our business:

1. September 2020: Complete a promo shoot with NYC-based photographer, Sophia Williams (@williamssophia15). Cost $600
2. September 2020: Compile back inventory for future orders. At the moment, we invoice the product from our vendor one-at-a-time as customers place their orders. It’s not an efficient way of fulfilling orders. Cost: $10,000
3. October 2020: Reach out to local influencers. These influencers would be asked to create sponsored posts that would explain Cocoa.isms’ mission and review our product to their followers. Cost: $5,000
4. October 2020: Reach out to local influencers. These influencers would be asked to create sponsored posts that would explain Cocoa.isms’ mission and review our product to their followers. Cost: $5,000
5. April 2021: In the meantime, we would like to successfully develop and launch a line of hair dye and hair care products that are specifically branded to Cocoa.isms, LLC and launched in our custom DIY kits. Cost: $2,000 - $4,000

Please join us on our journey to raise $20,000 to support our daily operations. Thank you for your time!
