How Lola Blankets Sold 1 Million Blankets With Creators (Case Study)

Lola Blankets went from 300 blankets in a 400-square-foot studio apartment to selling 600,000 blankets in a single month and over a million in a year. No outside investors. Here's exactly how they did it, and the creator marketing strategy you can copy for your own brand. Lola sells faux-fur blankets, one of the most commoditized products in your house, at $299. In this case study I break down how Lola Blankets scaled: the founder story they built into every box, how two brothers split the creative and operations, the Utah mom influencer machine, extreme influencer gifting (they gave creators branded off-road vehicles), running a blanket company like a fashion brand with NYFW shows and collabs with LANY, Aviator Nation and the New York Yankees, their "Christmas in August" sale, landing on Oprah's Favorite Things, and becoming the fastest-growing company in Utah.
