When someone tells you “oh wow, things must be going SO well in your business” – does a part of you wish they knew how lost you sometimes feel?
 
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.
 
But at some point – between juggling orders, suppliers and the relentless need to keep up on social media, you’ve begun to feel overwhelmed. And financially, you may be wondering when you’ll get the chance to pay yourself a decent salary or hire in enough help.
My name is Catherine Erdly and I have over 20 years experience working with product businesses of all sizes from high street names (such as Laura Ashley, Coast and Paperchase), all the way down to brand new businesses with just a handful of customers.
 
I have helped these businesses get more organised and make more money.
&nbsp; 
Now I want to help you do the same so that you feel clearer, re-energised and confident enough to take your business to the next level.
&nbsp;

- Outline what your options are to make your business a success long term

Do you sell products?  Whether that's online, in your own bricks and mortar store, via Etsy or other platforms, or at local events, then this group is for you.  Product businesses have their own unique rewards and challenges, so why not join with us as we share ideas and encouragement?

It&apos;s a tough vocation being an entrepreneur and owner of your own business however, the rewards both emotionally, financially, professionally, and your impact on other humans, can be rich and satisfying. There are highs and lows and my job is to help you smooth the ride providing consulting services focusing on specialists areas that will impact everything you do - knowing your customers, what makes them tick, aligning your offer and values in ways that always resonate, that builds long-lasting relationships and drives digital revenue.
B2B buyers have evolved. They no longer just purchase, they subscribe to your values, the brand experience you offer as well as product &amp; pricing fit. They want trusted partnerships, not just suppliers. Investing in marketing tactics can very often fumble without the right up-front investment in understanding your customers, building emotional connections, telling your story, getting the right technology in place and optimising engagement throughout the buyer and customer journey. After 25 years of bringing up kids, providing a safe and secure home for my family, my motivations and &quot;North Star&quot; are quite different moving forward.

The added benefit, I have a great network or equally professional and gifted colleagues spanning the whole spectrum of what it takes to do effective marketing so if I don&apos;t know it, I know someone who does.

I am an interior designer and homeware buyer with years of experience in the interiors sector.
I&apos;ve lived and worked in Dubai for many years, both as an interior designer and homeware buyer. Whilst there, I worked on the launch of several high end furniture showrooms and the stand-alone home store of the first Bloomingdale&apos;s department store outside of the US. I loved my time in Dubai and gained a huge amount of valuable experience.
Upon returning to the UK, I set up an online homeware boutique, for which I sourced handmade items from around the world. This was also a wonderful experience and taught me so much about the world of online retail and marketing.
I now work as a purchasing and product development manager for an independent interior design company, a job which I really enjoy.
I would now like to help small creative businesses to establish their online presence, and can use all the experience I have gained to help with brand positioning, product selection, pricing, website feedback, marketing strategies and more.
