Timestamps:
Jacquelyn’s Background/How She Started Greentop Gifts

She also talks about what she did before Greentop Gifts - she worked in corporate for a candy company.(2:57) Jacquelyn talks about how she found her first manufacturer and had her first batch of wrapping paper delivered to her house. She would work all day then come home and package orders in the evenings.(6:06) Jacquelyn explains how she got her first customers - her friend filmed an “about us” video that was posted on social media and a lot of people saw it and started visiting their website.(7:27) Jacquelyn talks about how Greentop Gifts was her side hustle for the first 4 years and how she managed working full time and running a business.

(12:27) Jacquelyn talks about how getting into retail was not what she expected - there was a lot she didn’t know about and it’s very expensive but it was worth it for her product because most people want it the same day.(15:10) Jacquelyn explains how being in retail is seen as a sign of legitimacy for businesses and it can be rewarding for some businesses if done right.(17:40) Grace talks about how going into retail makes sense for some businesses because that’s where the most customers are, but it might not make sense for other brands with products that people don’t mind waiting on.(18:29) Emmanuel talks about why he hates retail - it does give legitimacy but it is also very costly and can kill a small brand that’s not ready for it.

It’s better to be able to say no or just go into a few stores to get that legitimacy.Founder Rounder
(26:54) Jacquelyn asks about ways to get more customers. Emmanuel talks about how that has been every founder rounder question and something that all businesses are struggling with.(29:12) Grace talks about how new customer acquisition was really easy during the pandemic but now we’re in an economic downturn and it’s gotten harder. She says not to compare current numbers to 2020 numbers, instead compare it to your startup numbers and you’ll see that there is still life in the business.(31:01) Emmanuel talks about cutting costs. During the pandemic, the economy was hot and there was an artificial demand that is now gone so business owners need to focus on cutting unnecessary costs to increase bottom line profit.(32:43) Emmanuel talks about possible cost cutting strategies - get rid of unnecessary services, sell your inventory at cheaper prices, and use pre-sales.(34:31) Emmanuel talks about how to get new customers - by focusing on what has already worked for the business as well as making good engaging content.(35:48) Jacquelyn talks about how retail is their main source of income right now and some of the problems they’ve had with Amazon.(38:03) Jacquelyn talks about the biggest lessons she’s learned - keep your eyes on fulfillment and try not to be a seasonal business.(39:26) Jacquelyn talks about how entrepreneurship is not as “sexy” as people on the internet make it out to be, and you shouldn’t get into it if you’re not passionate about it. Emmanuel and Jacquelyn also talk about how people on the internet give advice that just doesn’t work anymore.(41:49) Jacquelyn talks about what she would tell people who are just starting out - make sure you have a product that makes sense, don’t quit your job until you’re sure the business can support you, go slow and be reasonable. Emmanuel talks about how entrepreneurship is not a get rich quick scheme and you need to be passionate about it.(45:02) Jacquelyn talks about ways to support her business and where to find her products. She also talks about Clarence Claus and why representation in the holidays is important to her.Resources:
