Not only has Welch retained her job, but she is also capitalizing on her newfound fame. She has partnered with a clothing company, Fathead Threads, to create official “Hawk Tuah” merchandise. This collaboration has proven to be a hit, with fans eagerly purchasing items to support her.
Welch’s rise to internet fame has also led her to consider trademarking her iconic catchphrase. This move would allow her to protect and potentially further monetize her brand.
