Since then, Touched by Grace has grown to formulate and sell a variety of plant- and science-based personal care products for face and body: cleansers, serums, toners -- anything you need from head to toe.

Growler Distribution Co.You never know where the idea to start a business will strike. For Zach, it was at a graduation party talking with friends. That's where he first learned about re-selling on Amazon -- purchasing stock from elsewhere and offering it to customers via product pages. While the COVID-19 pandemic affected supply chains around the world, for businesses like Zach's, it created opportunities to connect customers to the products they were so desperately searching for.

But how does he know what will sell? Zach takes deep dives into the numbers and analytics on product sales. For example, if he notices a certain item seems to sell well in March, he'll stock up on it during another time of year to release it for sale during the following March.
