We were lucky to catch up with Roneka McDonald recently and have shared our conversation below.

Roneka, appreciate you joining us today. What sort of legacy are you hoping to build. What do you think people will say about you after you are gone, what do you hope to be remembered for?

I would hope that the business will continue to prosper and grow and it will be something that can be passed down to generations. That one day our product could hit the shelves and your popular stores. Times are hard and changing by the day so who know what the world will be like. But we will always remain positive.

I believe people will say that their experience with us at xWhat’s Poppin was excellent and friendly. We try to build that one on one with our customers. We are quick on getting orders done, delivered and shipped.

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 are a mother daughter that started in the beginning of Covid and somehow we have maintained some consistency. It was very slow for awhile especially during the shit down but remained focused and positive and are still striving.

I thought about starting the business because I wanted to give my daughter something that she could run by herself (and work for herself) and to teach her that it’s good to have multiple sources of income.

I think xWhat’s Poppin is different from others because we ask what the people want, what are they looking for, what don’t they like and as we learn we teach others. We are passionate about what we do. We make all our products with LOVE.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy for growing our clientele is networking whenever and wherever. Doing as many pop up events as possible. And of course word of mouth from our already shoppers.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

We keep in touch with clients by reaching out on all our social media platforms, sending out emails letting them know what’s going on or what’s coming up soon. Sending out coupon codes as well.
