How she got started: “My main reason for starting my own business was to step away from the security of having a successful career and to ‘step out on faith’ and do something I’ve never done before. I have always been a shopaholic and love to decorate so I decided to combine the two and see where it would lead. God has always guided my life and I truly believe he ordered my steps in his word.”
What they do: “As the owner of Finder$ Keeper$ - Consignments & More, I wanted to open a place where people could sell their gently used items and not just give them away for nothing. And, as a savvy shopper myself, I also wanted others to be able to get a great “find” at a very reasonable cost. We sell women’s clothing, furniture, home decor, and women’s accessories. I hope to add interior decorating services to the mix and possibly personal shopping.”
What sets them apart: “One of my highest priorities is to establish, not only a great working relationship with my customers and consignors but also to establish a type of friendship or acquaintance. I want an individual to look forward to coming in knowing they will be greeted when they come in (maybe even a smile or a hug) and that we are always happy to see them. I feel that many establishments have stepped away from great customer service and that nobody has the time to be personable. In our very hectic society, I understand how that can happen but it really does make me sad.”
