From Baby Shower Baskets to $9M Sales ROI: Raema Mauriello on Faith, Discipline & Building Gifty Gal

On the Beyond Limitations podcast, host Zhanna Blazej interviews Raema Mauriello, founder of Gifty Gal, about how she turned a simple idea for customized baby shower gifts into a fast-growing corporate gifting business, achieving 36% year-over-year growth and exceeding a 10% target with 136.5% of the prior year’s results.

Raema shares her “what’s next” micro-step approach, organic growth through Instagram and a single LinkedIn post, and strategic moves like getting a wholesale license and forming an LLC.
