I chose this business because I developed the passion for it since I was young. I decided to go and learn how to sew for three years. I went to Beehive School of Tailoring and Designing. I have already started my business and it has been over 2 years now.
My customers know my existence through posting of my designs on social media and personal networking. Some know me through referral from customers who I did business with and some know when they visit my home. I do my business at home and it is along the roadside so I display my products right there on the veranda.
Targeting Customers
The best way to target my customers is to have materials and good equipment so that I can be able to meet the demands and customer standards. Having good machines and materials will make me do more chitenje products (which are in high demand currently) which I can also be sending outside the country, as such this will help to expand my business and also help my country in forex generation.
Ways to find customers
To market my products by making different uniforms and reach out to schools. Marketing can expand my business because it will make me have more customers and be able to make many products.
