My name is Jess. I am a 30 year old mum of two from Camden NSW. With a background in marketing and digital music, I left my exciting career in the music and entertainment industry following the birth of my daughter Evie. Four months after she was born I created a birth print for my niece and the interest snowballed from there. Three years later, my range has expanded to include prints for baby, children, weddings, christenings, the home as well as event stationery, business branding and logo design.
My prints have been featured in various Australian lifestyle magazines and blogs, as well as in a TV spot on Better Homes and Gardens. I love my business. I love that I have found a business that I can do from home that combines my love of design, technology and creativity.
Top 3 Tips for Starting an Online Store
- Before jumping in really assess the different platforms and if they suit your needs. I once made the mistake of building a whole new webstore only to realise that the shipping capabilities weren’t flexible enough for my needs.
- Charge what you are worth. Thoroughly assess your pricing from the beginning. Factor in all the little things and don’t forget to account for your time. This time is your precious time away from the other important things in your life.
- Take the time to understand Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). It is essential for ensuring people can find your site when browsing the internet.
