Sisters Michele and Melisa felt inspired to create Send a Ball after waiting in line at the post office and noticing an interest in sending balls as gifts.
Each ball was custom printed with a quirky message, and created a standout quirky gift that brought happiness in the mail.
With no packaging costs, orders had been doubling. The sisters were looking for capital to be able to keep up with these orders and manufacture the balls themselves.
