We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Amber Strawn . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Amber below.

Hi Amber , thanks for joining us today. What do you think it takes to be successful?

Over the years I’ve learned success does not come easy. Often times people will say “you’ve always been successful at everything you do.” The real question is why is that? I’ve learned that success takes a lot of grit. It takes constant learning, evolving, growing, and the understanding that you fail many times before you succeed. Having the strength to continue on during those tough times and remain resilient towards your goal is what truly will set you apart. Success is about mindset. Having a strong mindset and cultivating the life you dreamt of no matter what it takes.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

In 2021 I was planning my own wedding to my now husband. I really had no clue what the wedding industry entailed but I’ve always been detail oriented, organized, and creative. So planning my wedding came easily for me. After that experience I decided I had a gift for wedding design and planning. I decided to start my own wedding and event design company and rent out decor to my clients. What I quickly learned was my love for design grew into wedding planning. Now almost two years later we offer full wedding planning and event design packages. If I were to list what sets me apart from others I would say my passion and desire to truly understand my clients vision and help them curate rentals and design elements that reflect their personalities and help tell their love stories. I’m proud of all we have accomplished in just two short years and how much we’ve grown. I pride myself on having open communication with my followers and clients and allowing them to have a voice in helping us choose and select new inventory items, etc! We love getting our clients involved and creating friendships along the way.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

Social media can be very scary and overwhelming at times. I’ve always had a love for marketing and social media selling. I’ve built my social media following by networking with other creatives, creating an interactive experience, and showing up every day. My followers know my face. I think often times as business owners we forget to put ourselves into our social media. I’ve found the best way to gain trust and show people how you truly care for your business is to show them you. Creating a fun, interactive social media presence will set you apart and help you grow.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

Growing your clientele can be difficult and sometimes discouraging. The most effective strategy I’ve learned for growing my clientele is constantly marketing myself. I utilize Facebook groups, Instagram, and TheKnot.com. Do I feel like I need to spend thousands of dollars on marketing? No. I do believe that you must always be marketing in some form or fashion to continually bring in new clients and grow your company.
