Launching a Ceramic Business: A New Journey Begins

Embarking on a new venture can be both thrilling and daunting, especially when it involves turning a passion into a business. Recently, I made the significant decision to leave my job after welcoming my baby, who is now two months old. During this time of change, I have been inspired to pursue my long-standing dream of launching my own ceramic business.

I’m excited to share that I have most of the essentials in place. My workspace is set up, I’ve created an online presence with a Shopify website, and I’ve cultivated an Instagram account to showcase my creations. However, I find myself at a crossroads when it comes to initiating actual sales. While I participated in a local market and received positive feedback on my pieces, I am eager to expand my reach and sell my work online, particularly since I reside in a small town.

As I embark on this entrepreneurial journey, I would greatly appreciate any guidance or insights from those with experience in starting a business. What are the best strategies for driving online sales? How can I effectively promote my ceramics and connect with potential customers? Any tips or advice you could share would be invaluable.

Feel free to visit my website, Eclayre, to see my work and provide feedback. I’m open to constructive criticism and really value your input as I take these first steps into the world of entrepreneurship. Thank you in advance for your support and suggestions as I work towards turning my passion into a successful ceramic business!
