We were lucky to catch up with Linysha Johnson recently and have shared our conversation below.
Linysha, looking forward to hearing all of your stories 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.
Growing up my family always had a creative eye for decor and could build /fix things. Our family was always known for throwing the best parties! I’m Linysha and I’m the founder of The Slumber Teepee Club LLC. Here we turn a basic sleepover into an exquisite sleepover filled with everlasting memories. The Slumber Teepee Club will provide you with everything you will need to turn your teepee sleepover into a lifetime memory. We deliver, set up and pick up the next day. Our sleepovers are perfect for boys, girls, teens and adults. Book us for your next birthday party, girls night, bridal showers, graduations, family night, galentines and much more! One day I was on Instagram and Ms.Ray owner of Sweet Dreams Party Rental posted a post on Instagram about hosting a class and teaching how to start a sleepover business. I reached out to her regarding the class, took the class for about 12 months and she taught me everything I know to this day. I started my business during the pandemic, it was a very hard time for everyone and alot of birthday weren’t able to be celebrated. The teepee sleepovers was perfect during this time, in your own home in a safe space. I knew this would be a successful business when the sleepover were revealed and the reaction were priceless.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
When starting a business it’s important to know your audience so you know who to target on social media. Our target was moms, dad, local sport league, gymnastic team, cheerleaders, girl scouts, and local business to collab with in the dmv area. You must be consistent with posting on all social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Know your audience and know what they want to see. Have a website, business cards and marketing tools. Local pop up shops are a good networking and marketing tool. Make sure you’re on google and have a website.
Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
The most effective strategy for growing your. Clientele is having great customer service. Word of mouth and having satisfied customers helps grow your business. Without your customers there is no business.
