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

Alright, Ashley thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. How did you find your key vendor or vendors? Maybe you can share the backstory and share some context and the relevant details to help us understand why you chose them, why they chose you, etc.

When I needed to find a key vendor, I started by researching the industry and the type of product I was looking for. I read reviews, asked for recommendations from friends and colleagues, and looked at online forums to get a better understanding of the market. After narrowing down my list of potential vendors, I reached out to each one to get more information about their products and services.

I asked questions about pricing, delivery times, and quality control. I also asked for references and testimonials from previous customers. After comparing the different vendors, I chose one that had the best combination of price, quality, and customer service.

The process of striking a deal with the vendor was fairly straightforward. I provided them with a detailed description of the product I wanted, the quantity I needed, and the timeline for delivery. We then discussed the terms of the agreement, including payment terms, delivery times, and any other details that needed to be addressed.

Once the deal was finalized, I was able to start working with the vendor. They provided me with samples of their products, which I was able to test and evaluate. We also discussed any potential issues that might arise during the production process and how they would be addressed.

Looking back, I think the key to finding the right vendor was doing my research and asking the right questions. I also think that the vendor was willing to work with me because they saw the potential for a long-term relationship. They knew that if they provided me with quality products and services, I would be a loyal customer.

In the future, I would make sure to ask more detailed questions about the production process and quality control. I would also make sure to get references from previous customers to ensure that the vendor was reliable and trustworthy. Finally, I would make sure to negotiate the best possible terms for the deal, including payment terms, delivery times, and any other details that need to be addressed.

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

I got into the beauty industry when I was in college. I was always interested in makeup and beauty products, so I decided to pursue a career in the industry. After graduating, I worked in a few different beauty supply stores and makeup services companies, learning the ins and outs of the industry. After gaining a lot of experience, I decided to open my own business, AABeauty.

What else should we know about how you took your side hustle and scaled it up into what it is today?

I started my beauty side hustle about five years ago when I was still in college. I had always been interested in beauty and makeup, and I wanted to find a way to make some extra money while I was in school. I started out by doing makeup for friends and family, and then I started to get more and more requests from people I didn’t know. I decided to start a website and social media accounts to promote my services, and that’s when things really started to take off.

I started to get more and more requests for makeup services, and I was able to start charging more for my services. I also started to get requests for other beauty services, such as hair styling and nail art. I started to invest more time and money into my business, and I was able to hire a few employees to help me with the workload. One of the key milestones in my business was when I was able to open my own beauty salon. This allowed me to expand my services and reach more customers. I was also able to start offering classes and workshops, which allowed me to reach even more people.

Today, my beauty side hustle has become my full-time business. I now have a team of employees and I’m able to offer a wide range of services. I’m also able to offer classes and workshops, which has allowed me to reach even more people. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come and I’m excited to see what the future holds for my business.

Do you sell on your site, or do you use a platform like Amazon, Etsy, Cratejoy, etc?

When it comes to selling products online, there are a variety of options available to businesses. Some businesses choose to create their own e-commerce website, while others opt to use a platform like Amazon, Etsy, or Cratejoy. Each option has its own pros and cons, and the choice ultimately depends on the individual business’s needs and goals.

Creating your own e-commerce website is a great option for businesses that want to have full control over their online store. With this option, businesses can customize their website to their exact specifications, and they can also create their own unique branding. Additionally, businesses can create their own payment processing system and have complete control over their inventory. The downside to this option is that it can be time-consuming and expensive to set up, and businesses may need to hire a web developer to help them create the website.

Using a platform like Amazon, Etsy, or Cratejoy is a great option for businesses that want to get started quickly and easily. These platforms provide businesses with a ready-made website, and they also handle payment processing and inventory management. Additionally, these platforms often have a large customer base, which can help businesses reach more potential customers. The downside to this option is that businesses may have to pay a fee to use the platform, and they may not have as much control over their website as they would with their own e-commerce website.

Ultimately, the choice between creating your own e-commerce website and using a platform like Amazon, Etsy, or Cratejoy depends on the individual business’s needs and goals. Both options have their own pros and cons, and businesses should carefully consider their options before making a decision.
