In a recent episode of “Good Vibes” hosted by Dj. Ms. Eclectic, we had the opportunity to chat with the distinguished Darrell Spencer, the brains behind the flourishing skin and hair care brands, Crowned Skin and King’s Crowning. What makes this serial entrepreneur’s story truly inspiring is his determined transition from being a part of corporate America to creating his own entrepreneurial empire at the age of 28.
Our conversation with Darrell was insightful as he shared how he ventured into the entrepreneurial world in 2020 by launching King’s Crowning. The idea for this unique hair care brand that caters specifically to men was a result of Darrell’s personal need for products that took care of his hair while maintaining its masculinity. He identified a vast gap in the market for men’s hair care and concocted a solution that fulfills the need for satin-lined headwear and protective products.
Before King’s Crowning, Darrell was a part of the corporate world, working with renowned names in technology like Google, Facebook, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. There, he managed digital advertising campaigns that significantly increased profits for large corporations. Even with such notable success in the corporate world, Darrell felt his abilities would be better used in crafting something unique, leading him into entrepreneurship.
It wasn’t an easy ride though – the transition from a lucrative corporate job to his own startup posed its set of challenges. Darrell emphasized the importance of a strong foundation, both financially and time-wise, before making this move. It was precisely this readiness that gave him the conviction to expand his brand further and launch his second venture, Crowned Skin.
Crowned Skin has taken the skincare market by storm with its body butter specifically designed for men. What sets it apart is the infusion of fragrance and pheromone molecules in the blend of organic ingredients, offering both moisturizing and aromatic benefits. Crowned Skin has been a viral sensation far surpassing sales expectations and thriving on social media.
The journey does not end here. Darrell acknowledges the crucial aspect of customer loyalty to maintain this momentum. He underlines that merely having a good product is not enough. Businesses must form and nurture an ongoing relationship with their customers to ensure their growth and longevity. A continuous dialogue with customers, listening to their needs and feedback, sustains a business in the longer run. According to Darrell, a ‘good vibe’ is all about meeting customer needs and grounding your business for lasting influence and sustainability.
When asked about creating a “good vibe,” Darrell explained that it all comes down to listening to customer feedback and understanding their needs. His approach to business is not just about quick success, but about laying the groundwork for lasting impact and sustainability.
