EKOSAK – reusable produce bags
-Sales are steady, and our online marketing seems to be reaching our desired targets. We (my mom and I) are surprised at the amount of sales we are receiving by word-of-mouth.
-Our manufacturing during the week days is not really working. It is an adjustment with my new job to find the time for production. The bookkeeping and online marketing are easier to perform since most of it can be done via smart phone (something we have with us most of the time).
How do you feel the project if coming?
-I feel this venture is coming as expected. We are planning on adding a new product to offer our customers. It is still in development and more research has to be completed before launching.
What are you learning around running a business?
-I am learning that running a business while working full time keeps me very busy. Finding the time to allocated my duties is difficult at time. I am very grateful for family support.
What are you learning about yourself?
-I enjoy making an income outside of my income from my job. Most of the sales are reinvested back into EKOSAK for inventory and product development.
