MarketMommies: Tell us about your business.
Holly: We sell affordable children's smocked and monogrammable clothing. Just started with a spring/summer line this year and getting ready to put out a Fall line. All girls clothing right now, but hope to have boys in the near future.
MarketMommies: How did you get started?
Holly: I've always had a passion for fashion and design and with the help of my husband we took a chance and started designing our first line.
MarketMommies: Did you have an "aha" moment when everything regarding starting your own business clicked?
Holly: Yes, my "aha" moment came when we first talked with our manufacturers and submitted our designs. Thinking this really can happen. If you have a passion for something it really can come true!
MarketMommies: What inspires you to keep working on your business?
Holly: Wanting to provide great fashion at good prices. Building a company that is built on quality and customer service. Passing something down to my daughter
MarketMommies: Tell us about an average day in your life.
Holly: I have a two year old, so like many I answer email and fill orders during naps and quiet time. This business keeps me busy, but I love it
MarketMommies: Where do you see your business in one year? In 5 years?
Holly: In one year, selling boys clothing and turning out 5,000 pieces. In 5 years, selling as many pieces of clothing as possible!
MarketMommies: Any advice for other Moms who have their own business or are just starting out?
Holly: Gain the support of your husband if you don't already. He helps me in
so many ways. Without him this would not be possible.
MarketMommies: What was your biggest learning curve in owning your own business?
Holly: How much initial inventory to buy. Figuring out what you think you can sell.
MarketMommies: How do you find balance between your family and your business?
Holly: You have to make time for work and time for family and stick to it!
MarketMommies: Tell us about your family:
Holly: I've been married 8 years and have a daughter 2 named Sophie. My husband is so supportive and my daughter inspires me to be creative
MarketMommies: Anything else you would like to add?
Holly: Don't ever think you can't do something. If you have a dream and a desire go for it!
