In 2024, our business has grown 21% a year to date over 2023, and we have just started our busiest season!” As for the future of Fully Promoted of St Charles, Michelle tells us that the company will continue to learn new apparel decoration techniques, invest in training its team, and seek out new acquisition opportunities.
