Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Alexis Cain. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alexis, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?
Naming businesses is often considered a challenging task, but for me, as an entrepreneur, CEO/Founder of multiple ventures, and a creative visionary, it’s a source of joy. In fact, I find immense satisfaction in the process of naming, almost like it’s my own superpower. I can effortlessly distill a business concept, name, and plan by asking a series of targeted questions.
When it came to naming my businesses, including TACE DE LUXE, I approached it with the same natural flair. I conducted a self-assessment, mirroring the process I would use for others. The result was TACE De Luxe—The Alexis Cain Experience, reflecting richness and superiority in quality. The aim was to craft a name that not only encapsulates uniqueness but also exudes a top-tier emotion and a 7-star vibe. This aligns seamlessly with my visions to elevate TDL to greater heights within the realms of self-care, spa & wellness, hospitality and community events ,

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
Certainly! The essence of resilience in my entrepreneurial journey is deeply intertwined with a profoundly personal and challenging chapter. On the very morning I was set to officially launch TACE DE LUXE to the world, my resilience was put to an unforeseen test as I tragically lost my son in a car accident.
This devastating event could have easily derailed not just my business plans but my entire sense of purpose. However, in the face of unimaginable grief, I found an unyielding strength to persevere. It became a journey of not just navigating the intricacies of entrepreneurship but also of healing and rebuilding amid profound loss.
Overcoming the grief and myriad challenges that followed required a resilience that extended beyond the business realm. It was about summoning the courage to keep moving forward, even when the path seemed insurmountable. TACE DE LUXE, born from this crucible of personal tragedy, became a beacon of resilience, a testament to the indomitable spirit that propels small business owners through the darkest moments.
Every obstacle faced, from emotional turmoil to practical challenges, has been met with a determination to honor my son’s memory through the success of TACE DE LUXE. This journey exemplifies that resilience isn’t just about overcoming external challenges; it’s about confronting the internal battles and emerging stronger, with a renewed purpose.
In sharing this story, I hope to not only connect with fellow entrepreneurs and angel mothers & fathers but also to inspire and remind them that resilience isn’t just a professional attribute—it’s a profound and transformative force that can shape both business and life.
Do you sell on your site, or do you use a platform like Amazon, Etsy, Cratejoy, etc?
At TACE DE LUXE, we’ve curated a seamless shopping experience for our #tacebabes through our dedicated website, which is proudly built on the Shopify platform. This decision was driven by a careful consideration of the pros and cons associated with various e-commerce options, including giants like Amazon and Etsy.
Pros of Selling on Shopify:
1. Customization: Shopify allows us to tailor our website to reflect the luxurious and personalized essence of TACE DE LUXE. The ability to customize our online store ensures that it aligns seamlessly with our brand aesthetics.
2. User-Friendly Interface: Shopify’s user-friendly interface enhances the overall shopping experience for our customers. It simplifies the navigation process, making it easy for #tacebabes to explore and indulge in our luxe self-care essentials.
3. Integrated Payment Solutions:The platform offers a range of integrated payment solutions, providing a secure and convenient way for customers to make their purchases. This enhances trust and confidence in the shopping process.
4. Scalability: As we continue to grow, scalability is a crucial factor. Shopify provides a scalable solution that can accommodate the expansion of our product offerings and customer base.
Cons of Selling on Shopify:
1. Transaction Fees: While Shopify offers a straightforward pricing model, transaction fees can be a consideration for businesses, especially for high-volume sales.
2. Limited Blogging Capabilities: For businesses heavily focused on content marketing, Shopify’s blogging capabilities might be considered somewhat limited compared to platforms specifically designed for content creation.
3. App Costs: While the Shopify App Store provides a plethora of apps to enhance functionality, some may come with additional costs. It’s essential to factor in these expenses when evaluating the overall cost of running the online store.
In choosing Shopify, we prioritized a platform that aligns with our commitment to delivering a premium and personalized shopping experience. The pros, including customization and user-friendly design, far outweigh the cons, making Shopify the ideal foundation for TACE DE LUXE’s e-commerce presence.
