If there\u2019s one skill Denise Mayer has mastered, it\u2019s the art of gift giving. Starting out with hand-made custom quilts for babies of family and friends, the idea for PLAY. FULL. GOODS was born. \u201cAll of a sudden people who had received the quilts started asking if they could buy them for their friends and family,\u201d said Denise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Digital<\/p>\n

Located in Hamilton, Ontario, PLAY. FULL. GOODS offers pre-made and custom quilts for babies and young children. Each quilt comes wrapped in a bow and is accompanied by a tag, making it a simple and thoughtful gift option.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cPeople are looking for unique, quality, one-of-a-kind gifts and a custom quilt is the perfect solution,\u201d commented Denise.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While starting your own business can already be a daunting process, Denise expressed that doing it during a pandemic was even scarier with all of the unknowns. \u201cI had no idea if people would be shopping the way they were before,\u201d she said. With back-to-school season upon us, Denise has shifted her focus to designing mask lanyards to make the transition of going back into the classroom a little easier and more fun for everyone. \u201cI have learned to pivot my business in the last few months to really cater to what people are looking for during these weird times,\u201d she explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Digital<\/p>\n

When asked how her business operated before the ShopHERE Program, Denise admitted that she felt unprofessional and was struggling to reach new customers on Instagram and Etsy. With the help of the program, Denise has been able to successfully grow her business and expand her clientele: \u201cthe program allowed me to have a professional online presence and a proper way of selling my product.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having worked as a children\u2019s wear designer for a large company for the last six years, Denise is now excited to have her own brand with an online presence. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel as much like a \u2018local\u2019 business anymore as I have found clients from multiple provinces in Canada.\u201d Denise continues to reflect on bigger opportunities as her platform became more accessible to a wide range of people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had over 100 orders come in since my site launched,\u201d shared excited Denise. Bringing in more traffic and sales than she could ever imagine, the business owner says she\u2019s gained more confidence in the way she markets herself and her brand.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI feel more comfortable sending potential clients to a website that is my own.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When asked for advice on how small business owners might deal with the effects of COVID-19, Denise said the key is to not get discouraged: \u201cNow more than ever people are looking to support small, local businesses and are willing to pay the premium for it!\u201d<\/p>\n
