As a small business owner I was always challenged with finding new ways of reaching fellow handbag junkies who would buy my designs. In retrospect, I tried to boil the ocean and I didn’t reach my target at the right level. The primary goal was always to move units and recoup costs so I’d have funds to…
Hi, my name is Kristen and I am a handbag junkie. In fact, I love them SO much that I spent a very large sum of money to design and sell my own. Unfortunately, though I cherished those handbags and saw them having a unique value proposition, my business never did become profitable. I really…
You know the moment when inspiration strikes. The whole EUREKA experience…it’s incredible, isn’t it? And do you know what’s even better?
