Hi,
My name is Nicole Annette. I have recently relocated to lovely Asheville NC from Cleveland, OH and have been unable to find job. I decided to do what I enjoy most...design simple quality bags and recycled journals.
While waiting to hear back from potential jobs, I began to create more handcrafted projects. I sell online at www.AnUrbanTwist.com and www.AnUrbanTwist2.com. An Urban Twist is my first online site where I sell unique and trendy handbags. My Urban Twist II store is solely created for my journal addictions. I decided to do something that I love...and that is being creative.
My bag shop has been doing well with sales, but my journal shop has been going great! I opened the store in August and have already sold over 90 journals. I now have my journals in two boutiques in two different states! I am so excited about that.
I joined SUN because, I desire to sell my journals to other stores and move upward with the business. The two boutiques found me online and contacted me for sales. I didnt have to do much at all. This is the ideal way to sell, but it does not happen often.
There is a small chain of stores I am looking to approach to sell my wares. Can anyone give advice of where to begin? I guess my question is: How do I get my handcrafted items into small store chains?
I look forward to all the advice from other business owners. Thank you so much for taking time to read this. I really appreciate it!
Enjoy your day,
Nicole Annette
