I’ll be honest and say that running a business had never been a dream of mine. It’s unfair to say that Elsa Rose was started through desperation…it kind of was but it was my moment to try and I don’t regret what I did.

We've all been there; gone to purchase something on line and then stopped in our tracks because of the price of postage.
I recently wrote about my cake toppers to show you what you get for your money and today, I've decided to do the same for postage and packaging. I've been asked a few times if I can "just send it without a gift box" or "second class" and have lost a few potential clients because I've refused.
Here's why: Your cake toppers or accessories are far more valuable than the price of postage. It might not seem like it at first, but trust me, when you receive them you'll get it. And if you read on, you'll see that the price I charge is actually more reasonable than you thought.

I recently responded to an advert looking for female entrepreneurs to tell their stories about how they started their business and the journey they had taken in the process. I received a reply almost immediately saying that my story could inspire others in a similar situation (I'll let you guys be the judge of that!) and was then asked if I'd shared my story on my website. Well, I hadn't and think maybe now's a good time as I've reached a turning point and made a lot of changes - hopefully this blog sheds a little light behind the scenes and satisfies your curiosity!
