2026, a new year and another year of running my small business.
Let’s start with the downsides of running a small business…
You become to the content creator, the designer, the admin team, the finance manager, the late night shop uploads.. the list goes on.. and it’s the long days and nights that make your business run smoothly.
Customers leave reviews of your work, which you read with a smile.. happily knowing your product is in their homes…
Unfortunately there may be times where someone leaves a negative review. This stands out more than all the good ones. During Christmas and new year, postage workers have had more post to deal with for the festive season, including orders from small businesses like ourselves. Delays can be caused which means normal 2-3’day postage has taken over a week to arrive.. I have spent hours tracking orders, contacting Royal Mail to chase them when customers haven’t received them in time, spoken to curriers to chase collection times. This is all jobs that come with running a small business.
Sadly, the negative reviews are the ones that will stick with me the most.
Thank you for reading this far if you have, and if you have purchased from ourselves, we would love to have you review our products 🏷️ ❤️
Happy new year! 🥳
Slowly starting to get back to reality now, with school run pending, and back to a routine 🌷
