We have six gorgeous products on the market with a further three fully tested and ready to go, free from harsh and synthetic chemicals that typically cause skin irritation or have toxic effects when absorbed via the skin.
What has been your biggest challenge?
We have funded the business ourselves, which has meant we have had to save money on expenses such as marketing. We are active on social media, using blogger reviews and conducting product sampling to build brand awareness, but having an investor back us would really help us to market our products better.
What are your plans for hitting your targets this year?
We are working with distributors and a fast-track sales force to reach a broader market quicker, and this has helped accelerate listing opportunities.
What's the one piece of advice you'd give fellow entrepreneurs?
Don't lose focus. Always have goals and a plan to achieve your vision. The goals need to be realistic focus on what is right for today and work with the resources that you have available. Keep moving forward, one step at a time.
