A Blooming Journey: The Story of HairFlowers.net
May 14th 2023
Welcome to our first blog post at HairFlowers.net! We are incredibly excited to have you join us as we embark on this new chapter of our journey. As we unveil our blog, we feel it's only fitting to start at the beginning, to share the story of our growth, just like the vibrant hair flowers we've been crafting and selling since 2009.
Back in 2009, HairFlowers.net was just a seedling, an idea born out of a love for the beauty of hair accessories. Our first foray into the world of e-commerce began on eBay, a platform that allowed us to connect with a worldwide customer base. We were humbled and thrilled by the positive response to our unique, hand-crafted hair flowers, and we knew we were onto something special.
As our sales began to grow, we realized the need for a space of our own, a platform where we could curate our collection and offer a unique shopping experience to our customers. Thus, our first custom site was born. It was a major milestone for us, an exciting step towards realizing our vision.
However, in the ever-evolving world of online retail, adaptation is key. Seeking to streamline our operations and provide a better user experience, we made the move to BigCommerce. This platform offered us the tools we needed to manage our growing business more effectively.
Yet, the quest for the perfect platform didn't end there. We ventured back to a custom site, then to Shopify, and once again to a custom platform, each time learning, adapting, and improving. Our journey has now come full circle, and we find ourselves back on BigCommerce, armed with years of experience and a deeper understanding of our needs and the needs of our customers.
In addition to our own online platforms, we also expanded our reach by stepping into major online marketplaces. We started selling on Etsy, connecting with a community that values creativity and craftsmanship, and on Amazon, reaching an even broader audience.
Over the course of 14 years, we've had the privilege of making over 2 million dollars in sales, a testament to the love and support from our customers. Every platform switch, every change we made was driven by our commitment to providing the best for you.
Our story is a testament to growth, adaptation, and perseverance. Just like the beautiful hair flowers we create, HairFlowers.net has blossomed from a small eBay shop to a thriving online business. As we continue to grow and evolve, we promise to stay true to our roots, creating beautiful, quality hair accessories and delivering the best customer service.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. We look forward to continuing to serve you and to sharing more stories, tips, and behind-the-scenes glimpses here on our blog. Here's to many more years of blooming together!
Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, keep blooming!
