OUR FIRST LESSON
Firstly, we’d like to give a big shout out to everyone who’s supported us through our first month and a half of launching ART3SAN. We took a deep dive into launching something close to our hearts with the best of intentions, knowing there would be lots to learn on the way. As we develop and establish ourselves, we’d like to share our journey with those that have supported us and say that we’ve taken the feedback received into consideration and will be implementing some changes.
We’ve recognised that one month was quite ambitious to raise awareness and make any meaningful impacts to the charities which we have chosen to donate to - they are already doing a great job. Reflecting on why ART3SAN was created, we wanted to raise awareness for different health conditions - but approaching it in a fun and lighthearted way. We wanted to encourage more open discussions about these health conditions so that people are able to have the support they need without society’s stigma bringing them down.
In order to shift our focus back to align with our intentions, starting from 2022 we will only be raising awareness for 3 conditions a year (the lucky number 3), rather than one per month. This is to focus our efforts on making a difference to things that matter. We want to be more specific about what we do with the profits from these products, where we aim to help out smaller charities and communities in Australia as we believe any contributions no matter how big or small should not be underestimated. A small change is still a change.
What this means is that we will continue to promote PCOS and Breast Cancer until the end of the year. There’s people diagnosed with these conditions every day, it shouldn’t be limited to just that particular month for us to raise awareness for it. If you like what we’re doing and are looking forward to our new products, keep following us for updates!
