We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Ann Akins a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Ann thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I’m the founder of Fashion Junkie Club. My love affair with fashion began years ago and led me down the path of entrepreneurship. But life has a way of throwing curveballs, and November 2020, I found myself suddenly hospitalized and fighting for my life. It was a wake-up call, and I realized I wanted to do more with my time on this planet. So, I made a commitment to myself to chase all my dreams and travel as much as possible. And you know what? I did just that! Despite my health struggles, I learned how to sew and started my business, Fashion Junkie Club. So, if you’re looking for unique, custom-made fashion pieces, you know where to come!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’m a clothing designer who’s absolutely passionate about creating unique pieces that reflect my clients’ personalities. My speciality? Camo Jackets. I love nothing more than designing and customizing clothes to make them totally personalized and one-of-a-kind. I take great pride in setting myself apart from the rest – my clients know they’re getting something completely unique when they work with me.
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
I may not have had a ton of capital to start my business, but I sure had a whole lotta heart! Using my Federal Income refund, I was able to kickstart my entrepreneurial journey and bring my dream to life. Now, I’m happy to say that I’m running a successful business and I’m proud of everything that I’ve accomplished so far.
How did you build your audience on social media?
I’m all about building my audience on social media! I love connecting with new people and sharing my passions through my content. Whether it’s snapping pics, shooting videos, or crafting clever captions, I’m always trying to keep things fresh and exciting. My best advice would be to stay consistent, engaging and authentic. Share your stories, capture your unique qualities and build relationships with your followers. Don’t forget to have fun with it too! Remember, social media is all about connection and community.
