What inspired you to
start your business?
I planned my own wedding last year and we struggled to find
a gift list service that was flexible and reasonably priced. Like many brides
& Grooms my partner and I had lived together for some time so a traditional
wedding gift list wasn’t needed. This got me thinking about creating an online
wedding gift list service that was different from others out there. I wanted to
build a website that allowed couples to create an alternative gift registry
that was unique, personal and special to them. Not only that, I wanted the
online gift list to be totally flexible but also reasonably priced, and I
believe that’s exactly what we have created.
What do you enjoy
most about your job?
I meet some fascinating people every day. My job is to provide couples with
the tools to create a wedding gift list that is exciting, unique and special to
them, so no wonder I love my job! Brides
& Grooms find this part of planning their wedding really exciting and so
they should! After spending thousands on their big day couples actually get
things bought for them! It’s not every
day you get to create a wish list that other people pay for, and I am very passionate
about couples making the most of this opportunity and it’s great to be part of
the action.
What has been the best moment of your business?
My best moment so far has got to be the weekend my business launched. It’s seems such a long time ago now but I had the most amazing time at a wedding fayre. I spent the whole weekend speaking to hundreds of brides & Grooms who thought the website was amazing. This is when I knew I had created something that couples really wanted.
What are your plans for the future?
We have some amazing plans for the not so distant future which at this stage I don’t want to say too much about. What I can say is that I am so excited and can’t wait to announce them as I know brides and grooms are just going to love it. All I can say is watch this space!
Can you give us a‘Typical day in the life of....’?
My working day is always busy and never dull. I spend lots of my time planning for events, keeping our brides and grooms updated with our latest news and offers, talking to clients and other businesses. I have an amazing team working behind the scenes who do a great job in ensuring that the website looks great and runs smoothly. My team and I are constantly researching and discussing new ideas and are working very hard to introduce new and exciting services to our clients. It is a very exciting time for If U Insist and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
