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

Lynette , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. 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.

Being a new mom I was so excited to travel with my baby/toddler. My husband and I loved to travel before kids and were eager to bring our daughter with us on our adventures and show her all the beautiful things about traveling. But little did we know just how hard traveling could be with a toddler, especially unprepared. So I was determined to make our next trip more successful, so I packed a special travel backpack for her filled with activities, sensory toys, snacks, anything to keep her busy and excited. And that was the game changer, it turned into her magic backpack. Every time we traveled somewhere she was so excited to look in her new backpack with all the fun activities I picked out for her. The backpack lasted through the whole trip, on the plane, in the hotel, and in restaurants. Pretty sure she was more excited about the backpack than the trips and we were just happy to be traveling together with less meltdowns. I started making little travel kits for friends and family which then turned into Bizzy Boxes!

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?

My name is Lynette and I’m a stay at a home mom. I am a creative person, I love creating and making things pretty it’s who I am. I worked in interior design before I became a stay a home mom and I recently started my passion project – the Bizzy Box!
I make curated activity boxes for young children to help keep them occupied in those not so fun moments. It’s a magical box full of activities to help keep little hands busy and entertained when you’re on the go.
Perfect for travel, long hauls or those not so kid friendly places.

We’d love to hear your thoughts about selling platforms like Amazon/Etsy vs selling on your own site.

We sell on Etsy! I wasn’t quite sure if I would start selling on Etsy or off my own site but selling on Etsy has really helped my product reach lots of new buyers I wouldn’t be able to reach on my own. They do have fees but I feel it’s worth it for me at this stage.

Where do you think you get most of your clients from?

So far it’s been moms and mom’s groups. Women are amazing and the tremendous amount of support through word of mouth has been such a blessing.
