Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Isaura Carolina Marquez . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Isaura Carolina , appreciate you joining us today. Risking taking is a huge part of most people’s story but too often society overlooks those risks and only focuses on where you are today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – it could be a big risk or a small one – but walk us through the backstory.

I’ve always has had in interest in pastries and felt that baking a cake to a family member or friend is showing love. In receiving great appreciation and motivation to start my own business, but due to the circumstances back home (Venezuela) it felt impossible to accomplish. One evening after seven years that I had arrive here in the USA, my sister and I was enjoying a piece a cake, it was then when we encouraged each other to take the risk of what is now BLOSSOM MOBILE SNACKS LLC. From that moment and on, it has turned into a fun adventure for both of us as intrapreneurs.

Not having experience in MN foods law, pricing, marketing and so many other requirements gave us a quick reality check. Even though we encountered lots of obstacles, thanks to close friends and family we were able to overcome them and continue our journey. This became a roller coaster for us, having to decide on a name that had a real meaning of what we wanted to show. Choosing a new concept to introduce into the food and dessert and market and, above all, defining the menu because we wanted it to be different and innovative and also include the love from our roots of our country and where we reside. This by far has been the “craziest” risk but most definitely fun to be part of.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?

Really working with social networks for us at the beginning was a challenge, it was not the same to place a family photo to show than to offer the products of your new business. At first it worked for us to take samples of our product to our friends and co-workers, as well as to share small videos of how we make the snacks and cakes. Definitely, social networks have been a great help for our venture, we continue to learn about marketing and advertising every day and reaching to a more abroad audience.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Making sure we understand our customers and guide them in their selection of goods, offering alternatives in order to meet their needs and budget. Maintaining high quality standards for each event, maintain a consistent quality of goods and presentation.
