Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Janese Green . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Janese thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Before we talk about all of your success, let’s start with a story of failure. Can you open up about a time when you’ve failed?
In August 2021, I was commissioned to crochet a low back halter dress. The customer provided the incorrect size, so the dress was very big on her. Although I was not to blame for the mistake, I felt extremely guilty for this situation. I took this learning opportunity and used it to my advantage. I now provide more assistance with sizing to prevent this from happening in the future.
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?
I started crocheting when I was seven years old. Eventually, I stopped but started crocheting again in 2017 when I wanted to look nice on a budget. I first started making tops. I began selling them when my classmates would compliment what I would make. I started taking it seriously in 2020 and have sold tops, pants, and dresses to women throughout the country. My mission is to make sure my clothes make women feel beautiful. I want all women of any shape and size to feel like they can purchase from my company.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
100% TikTok. I have been able to connect with so many people who are interested in handmade clothing. I have also been able to connect with influencers as well as models who are more than willing to support my brand.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
The best way to build a good reputation is by providing great customer service. I typically respond to everyone within 24 hours and follow up with them after receiving their item to make sure their outfit fits to their liking.
