What’s Next: “I’m looking forward to what 2022 has in store for our company,” said Kelly Yarborough, chief wisdom officer aka “Sockrateez” at Sock 101. “I’m encouraged by our numbers in the fourth quarter and excited to start getting back to our pre-COVID numbers. I think that kitting and shoes are going to continue to grow. People are tired of the same old promo products, so Sock 101 is planning to continue to wow the industry next year.”
