We've reached the end of the year, and we can't help but do our usual summary of the year.
2020 has undoubtedly been a year marked by adaptation in many moments and confusion in many others. In the store we have not stopped doing things, and I think that if I look back, what comes to mind the most and I want to highlight from this 2020 that has ended is:
- We have launched a Claudia&Julia textile range that we are particularly excited about, because it was a dream that Jordi and I had had for a long time to make a reality.
- We have made a cookbook that can be found in all the bookstores in the country, a dream that I would never have imagined could come true. It is Cocina en Olla Exprés , published by Cupula.
- We have not stopped growing on social media, and we have reached the symbolic figure of 50,000 followers on Instagram and more than 8,000 on YouTube .
- On Facebook, everything is about dreams, especially our cooking group Cocinar Con Claudia&Julia, where we already have 12,000 members.
- Sergi has left us to discover new projects. We lack words of gratitude for his know-how and dedication all this time with us (since the beginning of Claudia&Julia). Thank you so much, Sergi!
- There are other new faces in the office who are learning at a fast pace and are a great support. Welcome Sandra, a second Jordi, Maria, Laura and Male!
- Ainoa is still as efficient as ever; Pere - who helps us understand some numbers, although he will never be our thing - has increased his dedication to the project; and we are happy that Bea is pregnant.
- A mention must go to Meritxell, who helps me on social media and is very patient to make up for my lack of time.
- We are growing a lot and giving a new twist to the Cookexpertas project, with Mónica Prego behind it (Thanks for your efforts too, Mónica!).
- We have added hundreds of new references.
- We would also like to thank all our collaborators in the warehouse . It has been a really complicated year due to all the restrictions and obligations of the coronavirus, while the increase in references and the special weeks throughout the year have made management very complicated. But once again they have gone all out to serve all orders day after day and they could not have scored better in all of this.
- The blog posts and beautiful photos in the shop are still the work of our external collaborators, bloggers, photographers and culinary professionals who turn a written recipe into a wonderful dish that we can't wait to make at home.
- This is the year in which we have had the most VIP Weeks and FlashSales in the history of Claudia&Julia, bringing a lot of the most special offers from a lot of brands. We couldn't be more grateful for the support we are receiving from all of them! We would like to take this opportunity to thank Le Creuset, WMF, De Buyer, KitchenAid, Emile Henry and all the other brands in our catalogue for the support they give us to make all our ideas and dreams come true.
