Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kevan Sharperson . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Kevan, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. The first dollar your business earns is always special and we’d love to hear how your brand made its first dollar of revenue.
My first client came from doing some good old fashion Guerilla marketing.
I printed up about 150 business cards and packed my camera (at the time a Canon. Rebel series) then hit the pavement running.
I went to local shops and businesses door to door, introducing myself as well as my company. I received a lot of No’s before a business took a chance on me.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Greetings, I am Kevan Sharperson CEO of ArtisticM.A.T.H production and CEO of BlackMarketOutlet Inc.
I’ve always been fascinated with the film and tv industry since my earlier school days. The vast knowledge and experience I gained in my middle and high school years, cultivated my love for the industry.
As a fellow creator, I wanted to create a space for other creators to promote their product or merchandise without going through the hassle of setting up shop, marketing, etc. Thus, Black Market Outlet was born.
How’d you think through whether to sell directly on your own site or through a platform like Amazon, Etsy, Cratejoy, etc.
I choose to sell my products on my own website instead of using platforms such as Etsy or Cratejoy. I wanted to create a marketing funnel so that all roads lead back to BlackMarketOutlet.net.
I weighed the pros and cons to selling strictly on those platforms, after my research I found that I don’t just want to be the vendor, I want to own the whole store.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
Word of mouth and social media has helped me reach new clients and an wider audience. Whatever your business specialty, platforms such as Facebook, Google and Instagram can help you determine your businesses target audience and what they like.
