We started this in the Year 2015 November Month Officially on Facebook on our son’s Birth Date (05/11/15). I make pretty handmade memories and gifts for my husband, and then I started to do it for friends and family. Everyone liked my works a lot. I did anything possible with the very few materials I had.
My husband, being a tool & die maker helped me to make things easier by creating die cuts for bulk orders like invitations, personalized gifts and so on. I was inspired to do this after her classes at Happy Motherhood during my pregnancy time, the best transformation I had there. I realized my own talents hidden inside me.
We initially started it with handmade gifts, paper crafts,scrapbooks,explosion boxes, heart box etc., and later because of a friend’s request did the backdrop and decor works for their kids’s first birthday and people started to love our works and we are going on with almost 6-7 events per month.
We have traveled to Bangkok recently in the month of September 2017 for my Calambour teacher certified course on Decoupage by Sifa Decoupage. We are planning to start workshops in decoupage in INDIA.
We have conducted lots of workshops exclusively for kids and pregnant ladies by making our own kit.
We initially earned Rs.10,000 -15,000 in the beginning stage working for minimum 3 hours to maximum 5 hours per day.
Now from our experience and expansion of work, we are earning Rs.40,000 - Rs.50,000 (maximum working days of 15 in a month).
Gifts are always special and they go well during the festival periods and limited sale during normal days.
It is guaranteed to get a minimum of 3 birthday’s a month with proper marketing and neat work from us .
Each customer is our strength , their trust on us is the biggest strength. Our duty is to fulfill their dreams and turn into an ultimate reality, making their special a memorable one for lifetime.
Milestone in our business is the very first birthday party which we did for Sudhiksha Baby in Chengalpet which was a grand party and our first step towards success.
Turning points in our business is from being a personalized gift maker to a personalized event maker .
Inititally when our little one was just a year old and we had to take him for all events and handle the decor works all by ourself and caring him at the same time..
We recovered from this stress by hiring people , training them to do the decors perfectly. We will be there guide them , take care of the baby and make the decor work perfect on time .
· Doing things differently and creative are always appreciable
· Making someone’s day a memorable one has always made us feel happy & blessed
· Smart work is more important than hard work
· A small hobby can turn into an lifetime business , if we concentrate and work on it in the right way.
· Less investment and lot’s of creativity and mind into a work will create marvelous results
My husband takes care of all the outsourcing and field works.
I communicate with the clients, markets about our work through social media’s like FB, Instagram & Whatsapp, I take up orders, get all details and plan it.
Working creatively almost gives us happiness each and every day. As a couple we sit, discuss, plan and make things happen for each and every party and gifts . We spend quality time together .
We take a week’s break every month to relax and spend time with our little one, completely out of work and just it will be my little one's time.
