  • Ep 55: How The Elf on the Shelf Became a Global Empire, with Co-Founder Christa Pitts
    Dec 10 2025

    How do you turn a childhood tradition into a 31-million-unit global phenomenon?


    In this inspiring episode of Ladies Who Launch, Rochelle Humes sits down with Christa Pitts, co-founder of The Elf on the Shelf — a brand that transformed Christmas for families around the world. Christa opens up about the real startup story behind one of the most iconic holiday brands:


    • How a family tradition became a bestselling product

    • Why every major publisher rejected their book (including being told it was “destined for the damaged goods bin”)

    • The scrappy, bootstrapped tactics that got their first 5,000 units made

    • How a single paparazzi photo and an appearance on the TODAY Show changed everything

    • The power of patience, storytelling, and word-of-mouth marketing

    • Managing cashflow, saying “no” to the wrong partners, and building slow, sustainable growth

    • How a small family business built its own production company, sold a Christmas special to CBS, and secured a balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

    • The mindset every founder needs: grit, resilience, and the courage to keep going when no one believes in your idea


    If you’ve ever wondered how global brands are built from nothing, or you need a reminder to stay persistent, this episode will light a fire under you.
