Start a business at a loss from day one, but worth it.‼️

We just started to open a wedding card shop. The first customer who contacted wanted a hand-made wedding card (Handcraft). We were double-minded about whether to accept it because we never did it. But anyway, try it out. We started by looking at various materials, the total amount of work, and about how much, tell the customer. The customer agreed to do it. We are very happy. 🥹🥹

But I never studied the length of the ribbon fabric and forgot about the package of delivery. I started to see that the work was not a loss, it was a small profit until the ribbon fabric that we bought was only 12 cards out of the total of 30 customers. Because we miscalculated the length of the fabric, the spare parts were not enough. The box that was bought to put the card for delivery was too small to put the card in. It cost us more money to buy. And yes, it was a loss. 🤣

We continue to do it. I think. At first, like this, we still don't know. Will know how to charge the price next to be more careful

And the result that we feel that despite the loss is the "review" of the customer who hired us. The customer reviews and introduces our shop in the bridal group, so there are a lot of contacts, so we feel that this is the real profit.

I really want to thank this customer for trusting and giving us the opportunity to work on his big day.

We had a lot of experience from the first work, so I didn't regret the loss.

Anyone who is starting to do something, don't just be discouraged. Every mistake has good things in it.

📍 anyone looking for a wedding card maker can contact. Take good care. 🥰🥰
