Laura Bee Designs is dedicated to creating original handbags and accessories without sweatshop labor or leather products
I just won a new “gelato” handbag on Laura Bee Designs Facebook contest! It totally made my day! And guess what? I’m going to talk about it. Then when I go to pick up the bag, I will be completely thrilled all over again. Who knows how many people I’ll tell. For starters, I am telling you right now.
As far as internet marketing and social media goes, local business owner Laura Buzard, is seizing the opportunity to connect with the people who adore her handmade fashions. The Laura Bee Designs website allows you to browse her goodies from custom wallets, to hairpins, to bags. I even found a you-tube video about how the inside of the Madeline Mega Wallets looks and works. Don’t live in Seattle, no worries, you can purchase online. She utilizes Facebook contests as a way to learn more about each of her customers. An active blog, facebook, and twitter account keeps customers updated about featured items and sales. Local businesses should take note and discover how they too can increase their online presence and become part of this viral word-of-mouth marketing.
Congratulations to Laura Bee Designs for creating a unique retail experience that woman are excited about and want to share with their friends, in person or online. They sold their first handbag nine years ago in July at the Ballard Sunday Market. Happy Anniversary!
