Day 8 of #MyShopLife2021 Today’s prompt is What

Day 8 of #MyShopLife2021
Today’s prompt is What helped me survive a pandemic…

There are two very important things that immediately spring to mind:
- My mum
- You, our amazing customers!

This is far from my usual, lighthearted posts but it’s safe to say, without the support from my mum and our wonderful customers, we may not have made it this far!

My mum was always there, listening to my worries, dilemmas and ideas. She spent endless amounts of hours packing your orders, doing post office runs, making coffee (obviously the most important of jobs) and the list could keep going on and on… to attempt to pay the overheads of a closed shop with an online shop is a lot of hard work and man hours. I couldn’t of done it on my own 💗

And of course, without YOU we wouldn’t of had any orders to pack! So many of you went out of your way to shop with us - routing for us the whole way! You really did rally together to keep us here 💗

Day 7 of #MyShopLife2021
Today’s prompt is Best Selling Product

I’ve decided to choose a product range instead as it’s so tricky to choose just one particular thing - it changes constantly!

The etched plaques are always popular… the smaller plaques are often purchased as gifts for friends where as the larger plaques tend to be impulse buys. Our customers fall in love with them and have to have them in their home 😍

Today’s prompt is Our Team

Officially Handmade Design is just me but of course I can’t do everything myself!

I usually work in the shop 4-5 days each week. On the days I’m not here, you’ll find one of three people manning the fought: Peter, Karen or Mum 😊 sadly I don’t have a photo of the four us of together!

Peter has actually worked in the shop since it first opened back in 2015!!

Day 3 of #MyShopLife2021 Today’s prompt is Find

Day 3 of #MyShopLife2021
Today’s prompt is Find Us Online

One of my first goals when I took over Handmade Design was to build an online platform. I’m super glad I did as without it, who knows what would have happened to us over the last year or so!

At the moment our shop system doesn’t talk to our website so keeping on top of stock levels is a nightmare. I’m hoping to be able to invest in a fully integrated system in the future so I can list EVERYTHING online 😊

I hear a lot our customers say, they found us online and had to pop in 💗

I’d really love to know how you became on of our lovely followers. Did you find us online?

Day One of #MyShopLife2021
Today’s prompt is My Shopfront & I

Hi 👋 if we haven’t met before, I’m Laura, the Shopkeeper here at Handmade Design in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. We’re situated on a cute, pedestrianised cobbled square, a short walk down from the Market Place. Handmade Design first opened its doors back in 2015, almost six years ago! The shop changed hands back in October 2018 and I became the new face behind Handmade Design.

We stock a wide range of products that have been lovingly designed and handcrafted here in the UK 🇬🇧

Thank you to @pencilmeinshop for organising! 😊

It’s an honour to have been asked to join Gifts

It’s an honour to have been asked to join Gifts Today Retailer Panel!

To introduce us, we were featured in @giftstodaymedia May / June magazine edition. You can read the interview on their online magazine too 😊 I’ve also posted it to our story too.

We now have Bath Salts in the vinyl glass jars! 😍

We’ve also got refill pouches too. If you’ve already brought a reusable glass jar from us, they’re the ideal amount to top it up 😊 the pouches are 100% plastic free and fully biodegradable 🌎

I’m without a laptop at the moment so I can’t update the website but they can easily be posted ☺️
