Love's Day is coming, flowers are in making, dates are in planning, and here we are preparing for the day of love and giving. š¢Ö“ą»š·Öā§ą¼ āļ½”ā”
February is the month of "Love.". It is also the month where a romance can start or bloom and where people give gifts and greetings to their loved ones.
Since Valentine's Day is approaching, my cousins and I are working day and night making flowers. We are so excited for Valentine's Day because it means that there will be a lot of customers, more than before, because our business has improved and grew and has been continuously known with the help of our customer's word of mouth. A lot of our previous customers have also become our loyal customers, which really made us happy because it means our hard work is being paid.
After school, I would go straight to my older cousin's house to help her and to see the progress of her work. It is not easy to do things alone, so I know that my cousin really needs my help, so even though I want to take a rest after I got home, I really pushed myself to help her because she's been working day and night while we can only help her after school.
From my previous blog, I stated that our product was using a satin ribbon, but now we wanted to change to using fuzzy wire because it is not a hassle, and it is cheaper than using satin ribbon.
With using fuzzy wire to create a single tulip, our product will be much cheaper in price compared to using satin ribbon, which means our target market, which are the students, can buy it in their budget.
And of course our focus for the upcoming Valentine's Day is creating beautiful tulips because a lot of our past customers have been asking for tulips since more like 40 percent of our customers prefer tulips now more than roses and sunflowers. š¢Ö“ą»š·ĶÖ
As you can see we have multiple colors to choose from and they all look so pretty. I am in love with them and from our teaser a lot has been interested with these beautiful well made tulips. š¢Ö“ą»š·ĶÖ
Anyway, to make things easier and faster in terms of production, we do different things: my older cousin and my younger cousin would create the tulip while I do the enhancing of the tulip, like enhancing its color using makeup and a makeup brush, while my other older cousin manages our business on social media, and my other cousins are helping in advertising our business to their friends. With the help of delegating different tasks, it is less stressful for us than before.
This is me doing my task. (Ā¬_Ā¬")
Of course my dog is here to also accompany me; she is very affectionate, she would always love to be by my side so I always bring here with me when I work with my cousins, she's so cute that she makes me enjoy what I'm doing even though I'm tired.
It's really hard to do things at once; for example, I am a student and also have a business to manage. I really have to manage my time properly in order to balance my academics and my business. Sometimes it's really tiring, but I had to work. Thankfully, I have my cousins with me, whom I use as motivation since whenever I see them working hard, I want to work hard as well and do better.
Even though my cousins and I are tired, we would still find happiness through the day; sometimes we would compensate for our hard work with foods, or we would also watch movies while making tulips.
Life is not easy, but with a few people, it is bearable; that is why I cherish every person who helps me put a smile on my face, even though there are problems here and there, as they keep me going.
'Till my next "Couz'In Co." blog, everyone! Thank you, and advance Happy Valentine's Day!
