Selling from Houston
What comes in through the port, and the three weeks in March.
Houston is where a lot of what Texas sells first lands. These are the conditions a store here is working with, each with where it comes from.
First in foreign tonnage
Port Houston ranked first among U.S. ports for foreign waterborne tonnage in 2024, at 220.1 million short tons.

Texas containers land here
By its own count, Port Houston holds 97% of the Texas container market and handles 75% of U.S. Gulf Coast container traffic.

The rodeo takes March

National apparel · paid and search
Paid that earns its keep for a brand that sells everywhere.
Cabi sells women's apparel nationally through a stylist community, which is the shape a lot of Houston brands take: national customers long before local ones. Its ad account had grown without the returns growing with it.
We cleaned up the product feed, fed Cabi's own customer data into each platform, and built search demand beyond the brand name, so the store reached people who didn't already know it.

Get the store built — or get the one you have selling better.
A build is one project: the design and theme, your catalog, the move off whatever you’re on now, and a launch somebody watches. From $10,000 one-time, and you own every bit of it.
Already on Shopify? Shopify Growth keeps the store improving month to month, from $2,250/mo. Ads, email, search and testing go on top when they’ll pay for themselves.
Questions, Houston edition.
Are you actually in Houston?
We're a remote agency, so there's no office to visit anywhere — ours or anyone else's. Our people are spread across the US and we run on video calls, which is how we'd work with you either way — and a Central Time day overlaps our East and West Coast hours at both ends.
We sell nationally from Houston. Does the location matter at all?
Barely, and that's the point. Shipping zones matter to your margin and your delivery promise, but nothing about the store build changes because you're in Texas. Where it does show up is carrier rates and shipping settings, which are configuration rather than design.
Most of our customers aren't in Houston. Should the site say we are?
Only where it's true and useful. A Houston address helps with local trust and does nothing for a customer in Ohio, so we'd put it in the footer and on the contact page and let the product do the rest. Nobody buys because you're in Texas; some people buy because you're findable and real.
Our stock comes in by container through Houston. What does that change on the store?
The promises. When product is on the water and still has to clear the port and a warehouse, the date it's sellable moves — so sell it as a pre-order with honest wording, turn on back-in-stock alerts, and let inventory sync from your 3PL rather than from a spreadsheet someone updates on Fridays.
Is the rodeo worth planning the store around?
If you sell western wear, barbecue, or anything a rodeo crowd takes home, yes. It runs March 2–21 in 2027, and three weeks of foot traffic is a list-building season as much as a selling one: a code at the booth that goes to the store, and an email in April to everyone who used it.
Where we work
Houston and all the sprawl around it.
Houston sprawls further than almost anywhere, and the brands in it tend to sell nationally long before they sell locally — which suits how we work.
We’re a remote agency with a home base in Norristown, Pennsylvania — the team is spread across the country, with a good chunk of it on the west coast. Everything runs on video calls, so you get the same people and the same hours whether you’re downtown or an hour out of it.
