Sue started her craft 26 years ago due to a laundry error. Yes, you heard me right - a laundry error that reduced Sue's beloved sweaters to a pile of carnage. And since then, she's learned so many lessons in business as she found her own way.  What would have brought most to tears, became a lightbulb moment for Sue. Blending her graphic design with her sewing skills, she refashioned the sweaters into new wearables and launched Baabaazuzu. The brand has grown to include hats, mittens, scarves, bags, and more for women and men, all made from post-consumer woolens.  The past 25+ years have been a whirlwind of growth, excitement, challenges, and brilliant ideas that have tested her patience, as well as rewarded my efforts.  Sue says she’s grateful for the learning curves that are part of the journey as an artist and entrepreneur. LESSONS IN BUSINESS  Know if there’s a market for your product. Stay open to changes in how and where you do business based on where the market and opportunities are. Be available to your customers in different ways. The quality of your product will make you stand out. Your booth design is important as well as the accessibility to your product. Make people fall in love with what you do. Don’t let anything scare you especially if you’re just starting out. Learn from your customers as to which products resonate with them and apply that to your sales technique so you will know which product to sell. Signage is important for people to know more about your brand and to spark their curiosity about what your products are. Engage with customers. Demonstrate how your products work. It’s all about the customer’s experience. See the value in the way you market and sell your products. For wholesale business, deliver products on time. Stay true to the product of what people know you for. Always make your product better.

324 – Retail – Wholesale – Combo – Let’s Get Advice through 25+ Years in Business with Sue Burns of Baabaazuzu

A young American girl growing up in the Middle East, Carina Rourke enjoys a blissful innocence until, at age fifteen, she is captivated by an obsessive desire to peek inside her mother’s beautiful, forbidden jewelry box. There, Carina discovers a shocking family secret arising from her mother’s clandestine past in post-World War II Germany.  On the heels of her discovery, she and her family pursue her father’s dream: an exotic trip of a lifetime through the Middle East and Europe. This exotic trip serves as a metaphoric journey for the woman the author becomes―a silent nomad searching for identity. When they reach Paris, Carina is entranced by the city’s temptations. French pastries become a dangerous addiction and an accomplice in silence . . . and so does the love of a mysterious Tunisian.  Inspired by her past, The Syrian Jewelry Box: A Daughter’s Journey for Truth chronicles a teenage heroine who triumphs over her identity crisis and learns the power of love.
