Successful Jewelry Party

Last Friday the Jewelry Party was a success! By success I mean I nearly sold out. I need to restock inventory on jewelry pieces and I need to restock on bead supplies because I'm running kind of low! This is exciting because I haven't felt this type of rush since I was a teenager. I'll be doing this a lot more often because I cleaned up! Even my daughter who co-hosted the event made $10 and an additional $5 on the next day from the pieces she created herself! She's been talking about it with all her friends and she keeps on trying to make more jewelry to sell. 

Unfortunately we're only doing this 2xs a month or just once a month depending on product development. The next day all I did was fill those orders and I didn't realize how much I already understood how to do already!

We only had 2 customers but those 2 customers meant everything. My 3rd and 4th customers didn't participate in the live events but they might next time because I did some really cool Giveaways. I gave away 1 pair of earrings and a picture I created in Adobe Illustrator. Both of my winners were very happy to be winners!

My objective going in was to show my daughter exactly how to do this although I was learning myself. The bible says "Train up a child in the way they should go even when they are old they will not depart from it". (Proverbs 22:6) I wrote this in a previous article about helping children understand how to have a vision for their lives. If you'd like to read that Click Here and learn more about how to use allowance and teach your child how to become an entrepreneur with a plan!

I also learned something myself, and that was to never let fear stand in the way of my progress. Imposter Syndrome got the best of me ever since I recognized that I needed to do a jewelry party to succeed at this, and I feared doing an incentive, I feared investing to create more. I feared for no reason it seems now, and I am sad that I waited so long before taking the leap of faith I did and sold the items that I already had. I should've done this a long time ago because it sure would've helped! 

Other customers who couldn't exactly get their hands on a particular design ended up ordering custom colors in the same design! Here are a few of my other creations that I made custom for other orders!

If you would like to place your custom orders with me you can view the video from Friday take down any numbers of the designs you'd like in any other colors, and shoot me a text by downloading my digital business card here👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Latest Sales and Promotions

Everyone knows that starting off is not an easy feat when it comes to creating your own business, and although my skills are up to par I haven't always had the guidance to run a full on business. Everyone doesn't embrace the entrepreneurial spirit, and it's very difficult sometimes for people like me to get their feet off the ground when it comes to starting up. So yesterday I came up with a few things to bring me comfort about the whole start up thing! Here are just a few.

1. Kana Wear Start Up Fund

The goal here is to get a start up of at least 10k. I started a Go Fund Me back in 2015. I'm going to be honest, it isn't doing very well, and I had to do some serious updates. So I've updated my story and why donations would be important to me. To read more you can simply go to www.gofundme.com/kanawearcampaign for more details. 

When I wrote my story I basically exhausted my bio more than said what the money would go toward because my goal was for them to see my character and not a person who shouts out some specific items. So here is my dream list of things that I would love to purchase once my goal is met:

• Sewing Serger 
• New Laptop or Battery (because mine doesn't work without the AC Adapter)
• Dressform
• Things for labeling
• Pattern making supplies (Butcher Paper, Oaktag)
• Fabric
• Jewelry tools and supplies (from beads and findings to pliers and more)
• Education (Parsons Certificate Program, Bachelors in Fashion)
• Tablet (in case I want to do some business on the go)
• A Studio Apartment (eventually to house my business)
• PO Box (I'm not giving my home address)

These are just a few things on my list to have, and I haven't even begun to touch the tip of the iceberg. I haven't even listed the amount of money I really need for each item because paying for a business costs a lot of money. There are possibly a lot of things I'd need. All I know is that it's all going on my taxes when I do purchase these things as an expense. I hope to get every dollar back and some! So for those who want to participate in the #kanawearcampaign here is how it works:

1. Go to www.gofundme.com/kanawearcampaign and make your donation
2. Share the link with everyone you can using the #kanawearcampaign 
3. Take a selfie and post it underneath the campaign image on the Kana Wear LLC Facebook Page. www.facebook.com/KanaWear 

As a reward all of my donors will be recognized in an album that I create on the Facebook Page. Whether you donated $1 or $100 your face will be displayed in an album dedicated to the donors who made a difference in this campaign. 

2. One of A Kind Sale

This sale is going on right now on my website www.kanawear.com. It's called a 1 of a Kind Sale because...well everything is one of a kind. I couldn't duplicate these things even  if I tried. So if you're into custom looks then you should ACT NOW while supplies last. 

I mean of course you can easily call and make a custom order  (which is also available), but why would you want to do that when you have a selection of jewelry that has already been made? You can buy them as they are and be happy too. Once again I'm not making any copies of each pair of earrings, jewelry, or any of that. If there is an item that I can make more of it's going to say more than 1 for my quantity. This sale will be ongoing, so if you're that person who likes custom jewelry then this sale is for you. Keep a look out because as my clientele base grows I'll add more things but  if an item is in the special 1 of a kind sale it will say one of a kind in the description. So have fun shopping.

3. The New Creature Newsletter

From time to time I make a newsletter summing up everything that's going on. It's rather short but eventually I plan on making my Newsletter longer, and I want it to include Events I'll be creating or attending as well as sales and promotions. This calls for alot of planning but to be added to my email list subscribe on my website at www.kanawear.com and I can send you the New Creature Newsletter to your personal email, but that's about it. 

All of these things are simply to bring momentum to my campaign. So like, love, share and hashtag our campaign so that we can get it going. Spread the word and continue to Donate as much as possible! Even if you don't make a donation Share my link so we can get the ball rolling. Thanks in advance to all of my supporters!
