&lt;p&gt;My main business is selling my brand SnoozeShade&amp;#39;s products. SnoozeShade is the world&amp;#39;s leading range of sun and sleep shade for babies and is sold globallly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I started off with the traditional retail/ distribution model but realised in 2014 (when divorce was imminent) that this was not the most profitable way to run my business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I started to study how Amazon sellers sold and now mix my experience of consumer brands (my background before launching SnoozeShade was in FMCG PR and marketing) and being a small business helps other small product brands to grow as I have.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I turned the business around from mid-6 figures in 2016 to 7 figures in 2019 with a much higher profit margin.&amp;nbsp; I love helping other small product brands maximise the opportunities there are to grow sales online.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have grown my own brand online via ecommerce and I love to help other product businesses grow sales and raise profile via Amazon, Shopify and social media.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cara Sayer is a straight-talking entrepreneur and inventor. A popular speaker at events, she tells it like it is. Cara started her business in 2009 based on her need for a product that didn’t exist. She wanted her baby daughter to sleep when they were out and about – and she believed that many other parents had this same problem. So she decided to create a solution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With no experience in retail or manufacturing, she created SnoozeShade, the world’s best-selling range of baby sun and sleep shades. Her brand is recommended by leading baby experts all over the world, has won more than 70 awards, is used by celebrities and royalty and, most importantly, has helped hundreds of thousands of parents worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Despite initial public success in selling in major retailers and with 20+ distributors globally, 2014 saw Cara getting divorced and realising that her business was not profitable enough to pay the bills. When she saw Facebook ads showing how a garlic press could make a million, she decided to learn how to sell on Amazon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since 2016, Cara has more than tripled her turnover and doubled profit and her products are Amazon best-sellers in the very competitive baby category. As she frequently gets asked how she has done it, Cara started holding small workshops to teach other independent product brand businesses how to increase their sales on Amazon with ’Make It Brand It Sell It’.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cara loves passing on to other owners of small businesses what she has learned, sharing the real ups and downs of running and growing a business.&lt;/p&gt;

I know how hard you work, how badly you want to succeed, how much you believe in the potential of your business, and how much progress you’ve already made.
