Life & Work with Christian Gillon of Raleigh

Today we’d like to introduce you to Christian Gillon

Hi Christian, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
It started off one day when my friend was having a conversation and I was telling him how we should do other stuff besides the music because we both make music and then I was like hey I think I’m a pretty good business man why not so clothes and he was telling me he was a good idea so that’s how we started at first we spent a whole day going through names and I couldn’t get the word cartoon out my head so that’s how we came up with the idea

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Not really the main issue we’re having is getting people to buy the product. I would pass out business cards and all of that and try to get people to go buy stuff off the clothing brand website but nobody tends to go grab anything. I tried to get woman to go model for me to maybe get more customers. That still wasn’t working. I personally feel like I need a better marketing scheme

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
we have a little bit of everything on our website people mostly get the hoodies. Everybody loves the hoodies We are mostly known for our name and how catchy it is

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
I should honestly say the best bet is to make a plan set a goal and figure out your target audience
