We were lucky to catch up with Sa’Veya Jackson recently and have shared our conversation below.
Sa’Veya , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s start with what makes profitability in your industry a challenge – what would you say is the biggest challenge?
Having to communicate with new potential customers, advertising/Promo and overall business struggles
Sa’Veya , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
April 2018 my mom told me take a break from my electronics & write about something I love. I decided to write about my love for bath bombs. I didn’t know my story was just that good my mom asked me if I wanted to get it published. I didn’t think it was possible I was only 8yrs old! Well she proved me wrong on my 9th birthday August 17, 2018 I had my first book launch! Few months later so many good things started to happen. I got a brilliant idea after knowing few of my customers didn’t know what a bath Bomb was, So I turned my book into a business selling DIY bath Bomb kits & organic bath Bombs with my book included, my book was available in all local libraries, I had many news interviews tv, radio & magazine articles and invited to numerous pop up shops including Readers Association, Women’s Expo etc. Fast Forward my two year anniversary I released three more books based around bath Bombs, two free bath Bomb gaming apps on Google play, added men/boy bath bombs to my product line. I have two more items I can’t mention because it’s top secret and I’ll need help funding because I will be the first kid to do it. Now today I’m working on releasing S.T.R.E.A.M kits to the elementary schools in my community as well as all over Michigan and then I’ll work on all over the world. This specific kit will include my published book and all the ingredients to make a bath bomb and the class has to take notes and find how bath bombs are based around Science, Technology, Education, Art, Math. The students should have fun with this project but still learn. I really hope to find funding for this project as well because students deserve to have a little stress free day sometimes. As a kid I know you have to trick kids to learn while they are having fun so we don’t think it’s work lol.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
Post engage stay on repeat beat advice I’m not even good at it but once you slow down you loose your audience attention
How’d you think through whether to sell directly on your own site or through a platform like Amazon, Etsy, Cratejoy, etc.
I have my own website and I also have my books available on Amazon as well
