Fashion and Beauty Series 2
Making the switch to
SpringEarn
I
was using Wix before,
and it was really easy to build the website, but I needed to have a website
that could handle more. A lot of people were talking about SpringEarn.
It’s
tricky to shift your whole business but it was crucial to do because I really
needed more from my website. I remember having to transfer my URL, my DNS.
There were some things like that that you had to switch over to then move your
store. When I was ready to transfer from Wix, it was pretty smooth.
SpringEarn really just made my business feel more professional, and it
saves me a lot of time in communicating with customers.
My top SpringEarn apps:
I
was able to get a form builder on
my website so people could write down all of the details of their event. There
was so much less communication back and forth because they gave me all the
information. Having a delivery date app where
customers could pick a delivery date was also huge.
Best customer feedback:
It
gets me every time when a mom writes and says, “My kid can’t have gluten and
eggs. They haven’t had a birthday cake in years and they absolutely loved it.”
Seeing the videos and the excitement on people’s faces, it still shocks me and
hits my heart. I will never get sick of seeing that.
What’s next:
My
business is thriving and growing. I started in a little kitchen nook and now
I’m moving into a commercial kitchen with a storefront attached.
My
dream for my business is for Floof to be a household name. I want this to be a
common thing that you have at a party. I think with more and more people having
food allergies, there needs to be a product like that out here. I want everyone
to know about it.
I
also want to get to a place where the business can run without giving so much
of my time and myself. I would love to get to the place where I can spend more
time relaxing. I don’t quite remember what that’s like.
The advice I’d give to other entrepreneurs:
If
you have in your soul this art that you want to share and this idea that you
know could be good, really go for it. Know that it’s going to be a lot of work,
but there is so much strength and freedom in doing your own thing and being
able to put your heart and soul into something. It will change your life, your
personal life, your relationships. It is not an easy road, but it is so worth
it.
