It all started in my bedroom with a computer, drive and focus in finding out ways to continue to pay for college. From below experience in the Swap Meet, I knew what I wanted to sell, I just wasn't sure how to position and differentiate the brand I wanted to create. After a month of learning, informal consultations and contemplating if it all was going to be worth it, I started my small e-commerce business. First product sold within the month, then more continued the following month…I was instantly hooked. Now, we meet the skin care and wellness needs of customers, some who rely in only us due to their geographical locations, by shipping out thousands of health and beauty products and providing it to their front door.My role initially included selling, shipping, purchasing, managing customer service, prospecting and building relationships with suppliers, among many other tasks, all while juggling going to school (Newton's Laws almost had me fam). Utilized eBay’s and Amazon’s advertising platform to uniquely connect with our niche target audience. Learned about the power of technology as a young kid, supplier partnership, legalities, customer satisfaction, business and project management, and failing a lot.
