The Variegated Lady is a houseplant business that was started in the backyard of my home in 2020. Quickly gained the attention of locals in Fayetteville, where we were located at the time, and quickly gained popularity in the area due to unique flyers and customer service.

Number one goal was for any type of horticulturist, beginner or not, to be able to come in, buy a plant and be successful with it. I potted every single plant in store with the quality mediums I would use in my personal collection. I made my own soil mixes and pesticide mixes to sell. I sold hand painted pots, local art and so much more.

The Variegated Lady was once an operating brick and mortar store but I quickly moved to online sales to accommodate our lives as we made our transition to the mountains!

During my time operating the store I did the following :

• Heavy Lifting (50+ lbs)
• Increased sales and customer satisfaction through personalized servicing.
• Balanced and organized cash register by handling cash, counting change, and storing coupons.
• Used consultative sales techniques to understand customer needs and recommend relevant products and services.
• Located merchandise across various stores to address customer needs.
• Provided pricing information to customers regarding specific products.
• Retained excellent client satisfaction ratings through outstanding service delivery.
• Developed and maintained comprehensive understanding of products, services and competitors to enhance sales presentations.
• Made custom products at customer request.
• Produced live videos every day of the stores inventory.
• Managed online inquiries.
• Fulfilled online orders.
• Packed and shipped out hundreds of plants and products.
• Monitored online presence of company's brand to engage with users and strengthen customer relationships.
• Increased customer engagement through social media.
• Created and implemented impactful strategies to increase company brand awareness and engagement.
• Collaborated with team members to develop creative campaigns for social media platforms.
• Designed and implemented social media strategies to align with business goals.
