I've owned my shop HomeGrown Creations, LLC 1514 U Street for six months. HomeGrown is an art collective selling the works of Washington, DC's best artists as well as elective handmade gift items and used books and antiques. We've been well received by the U Street community. People enter our store and see a beautiful array of color art, items and just when they think they've see it all they reach our lounged bathed in warm pumpkin spice walls and rust colored comfy couch and sip on my own blend of raspberry peach tea (hot or cold) and a homemade treat. I wanted the shop to feature great art and be an oasis from the maddening crowd. From the response I'm receiving these goals were achieved. As beautiful as the place is the harsher reality is maintaining while building this business. In later blogs I'll let you know how unusual marketing schemes work out. For instance . . .we had a Yummy Sale, buy $50.00 worth of items get DC's best barbeque free. It went well and people love our spontaneous and quirky approach to sales. I must get back and start the next six-month journey. Stay tuned.
