We hosted some delightful visitors this week. Two of Forrest’s neighbors, Destiny and Claire, took two days out of their busy schedules to be volunteer entrepreneurs at Artterro.
They learned the ins and outs of running a small business: taking orders, packaging and shipping product, making samples for store displays and, since this is the 21st century, blogging! We armed them with a camera and notepad, and as you’ll see, they took great behind-the-scene shots and made some very interesting observations. Without further ado, I present this entry from our guest bloggers, Destiny and Claire.
At the Artterro headquarters there are lots of hardworking people, making an effort to sell good products to you.
They have lots of unique strategies for packing and shipping art kits to different stores.
They use all natural products, including wood, glass, shell, bone, and seed beads.
Each of Artterro’s art kits has a basic design, but lots of different ways to switch it up and be creative yourself. There are lot of different ways to express your creativity in art with Artterro’s art kits. You can make something for your garden, with a garden art kit, or make a neat pattern in your jeans with natural felt.
You could even add a nice colorful touch to your car by designing something from a creativity kit to hang from the mirror. Artterro sends their costumers samples with their orders, so that people in the stores can see how to make it.
A big thank you to Destiny and Claire for visiting our office, helping us make some beautiful samples and sharing their inspiring ideas. We hope they had so much fun they’ll start their own businesses someday. We also hope to invite many more girls to explore our office in the future. The next generation of women needs to know that owning a business is a fun and creative challenge well within their reach.
Tell us in the comments if you have any ideas on how to encourage entrepreneurship in young women. Let’s make it happen!
