We were lucky to catch up with Sea Maids recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Sea Maids , thanks for joining us today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.

We came up with the idea through our love for my moms grandmother and my great grandmother! When I was younger we would take her out to eat ice cream and would spend hours just sitting and talking and enjoying each other’s company. We thought we could do a simple concept and provide the same enviornment for others to enjoy with their loved ones. Along the way we became more and more inspired. It started first with the symbol of our latin woman owned buisness, the mermaid. Then we became Sea Maids! We’ve grown so much since and keep uncovering our identity daily.

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?

We provide all types of products, we really try to cater to everyone’s likes and even needs. We have a dessert for just about anyone, even the picky eaters and even have allergy friendly desserts like dairy free and gluten free. We try to make everyone happy. We just hit our second year and are now partnering with Equality Florida and will have a LGBT mural coming soon! We want our future guests to know that Sea Maids is a safe place fillled with lots of love and they should always feel welcome coming here.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

Social media has had a huge impact on our buisness. Being extremely personable with our guests and having open communication with them forsure has ensured we have repeat customers.
