From Strategy to Storytelling: How Trade Ideas Planted the Seed for Small Batch

From Strategy to Storytelling: How Trade Ideas Planted the Seed for Small Batch

Small Batch Gallery + Goods was born from a natural extension of the creative work already happening behind the scenes at Trade Ideas, Shannon LuQuire’s marketing consulting and design firm. Known for helping clients develop strategic brand identities and meaningful customer connections, Shannon found herself offering advice on more than just logos and messaging. As Trade Ideas clients searched for thoughtful ways to thank their own customers, many turned to Shannon for help choosing the right gifts to reflect their brand values.

What started as small gestures of appreciation quickly turned into curated gifting solutions—each one designed to tell a story. Shannon realized she had a natural talent for selecting products that were both beautiful and intentional, combining utility with emotion in a way that left a lasting impression. Her eye for design, paired with a deep understanding of her clients' needs, made each gift feel personal and purposeful. As the demand for these custom gift boxes grew, the idea to create a space dedicated to beautifully curated goods took root.

That idea blossomed into Small Batch Gallery + Goods, a shop where the art of thoughtful gifting meets elevated design. Today, Small Batch continues to reflect the values that first inspired it: creativity, connection, and meaningful moments. Whether you're shopping for a corporate client, a new homeowner, or a dear friend, our goal remains the same—to make gifting as special as the person receiving it.
