Today we’d like to introduce you to Kathy Pitts.
Hi Kathy, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I started this jewelry company a little over 4 years ago. What started out as a creative outlet has turned into so much more. My first creations were leather teardrop earrings and basic beaded bracelets. My shop now offers a variety of on-trend and classic earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. You can shop online at my stand-alone website or through my Etsy shop. You can also find me locally at different pop-up events throughout the year!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It’s still a struggle! When you are just a regular person trying to grow your small business, it can be tough climb. I am not only the owner but the creator, the accountant, the marketing director, the buyer, the shipping department, the social media director, and so on and so on!! Juggling all those roles while learning them as you go can be difficult and without having connections or easy big breaks, you really do have to work hard constantly.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Magpie & Bobbin is known for its affordable on-trend and classic jewelry pieces. I handmake all my bracelets as well as most earrings and necklaces too. I also enjoy curating styles from other small businesses to give my customers a variety of materials and styles. I also really love working with a customer on personalized or custom pieces. I truly think what sets me apart from other jewelry businesses (and there are so many) is the affordability I never want to spend a lot on a trend knowing that soon it will be no longer.
So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
Customer service and customer loyalty matters most to me. If I mess up, I will always make it right and I want to be the type of business that has repeat customers. I know that when I have good customer service, I make it a point to support that person or business. So far, I think I am achieving that.
