What's your business, and who are your customers?
Shaes Styles LLC is a graphic design and business marketing material service provider. My clients are new and existing business owners who are looking to refresh or create material to provide to their potential and existing clients.
Tell us about yourself
My business got started after I found out that I was pregnant with my first child. It was exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time. During my pregnancy, I decided that I did not want to go back to the workforce immediately after giving birth. I wanted to be able to stay at home with my son and still make money. I knew I had the gift for designing business cards and flyers, I sat up watching YouTube university to learn a few other tricks, and from there, I created my business.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is definitely making an impact on the lives of my clients with the products that I create for them.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things that come with being a business owner is those weeks or days when your not making any sales, and you really just have to sit back and be consistent with your business and work on passion projects until sales start coming through again.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- DO IT.
- Everyone is not going to be happy for you.
- Find out your target audience before you start marketing so you know who exactly you want your clients to be.
