Hello and welcome to the DTC Podcast, Today we’re chatting with David Mifsud, co-founder, and board member from Missouri Star Quilt Co, one of the most interesting brands we’ve ever spoken to.

  • Why you should never call a quilt a blanket
  • The origin story of a quilting empire
  • Buying a $40K quilting machine on credit
  • The mechanics of Missouri Star’s Daily Deal
  • Managing 10s of thousands of skews with ERP
  • The marketing benefits of owning a town and how building Quilt town USA, revitalized small-town America, and lead to INCREDIBLE PR.
