Today we’d like to introduce you to Kat Hussey.
Hi Kat, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Like many people during the beginning of the pandemic, my partner and I were laid off and could not find jobs quickly. We didn’t let that get us down, and we like to stay busy. We started to conjure up Nifty Nerdy Company (NNC), The Eco-Friendly General Store That Every Nerd Needs! We began planning, researching, and developing NNC and its website. We refined and expanded our product ideas then scoured the globe for vendors that are just like us, small Mom and Pop shops.
Ensuring that we have Nifty & Nerdy products that are friendly to Mother Earth but that customers would enjoy. Nifty & Nerdy products are “Nifty,” so they must be helpful in our customers’ everyday lives. Nothing you use once, forget about, throw it away, and end up in a landfill or the ocean. “Nerdy,” while we do have combs with Captain America’s shield on it, we mean Nerdy in the verb tense. We are here for the people who nerd out for Tea, nerd out for games, nerd out for quality leather goods, and most importantly, nerd out for our environment. We finally launched our Eco-Friendly Online General Store on Earth Day! Since then, we have been slowly grinding away at getting our name out and growing our awesome customer base.
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?
Before we started Nifty Nerdy Company, it was a dream, something exciting. When you’re dreaming, though, you have no idea how much you don’t yet know. There is a learning curve with opening an online store, especially when the online store market is saturated. Market research, product research, audience analysis, and the list goes on. Yet, you still learn even more as you implement everything and have an open store for everyone to browse.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We are Nifty Nerdy Company, The Eco-Friendly Online General Store That Every Nerd Needs! We don’t conform to the so-called ‘norm.’ We aren’t going to have huge prices on our website, cross it out, say “40% Off”, and pretend we are giving you a deal. We aren’t going to sell you cheap junk that will only last a few uses or something that you forget about after a few weeks. What we are going to do is help you Nerd out! Nerd out to beard care? We got you! Nerd out to DnD? We got you! Nerd out to anything? We got you too! Most important of all? You can use our products without the guilt of trashing Mother Earth. Nifty and Nerdy products from Home, Bath, Accessories, Leather, and so much more! Rage against the plastic machine with us at NiftyNerdyCo.com.
What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
We love the wide range of diverse backgrounds that venture through Dallas because of the international airport. Bringing people together through finding common ground is vital in the fight to save the planet. We also love the arts that have sprung up in recent years. We are former musicians and enjoy a good concert from time to time. Our least favorite thing about the city is how few people use public transit. Constantly sitting in traffic every day for hours can be a waste of time and precious resources.
