Hi,
Congratulations on your success!! I also want to be one the successful business women but I am not sure how to market my products to my future clients. My business is going to be in importing women fashion accessories and handy craft goods mainly from Asia. My target customers are departmental stores, small retail stores and any one who is willing to purchase my goods. I will appreciate if you can give me any insight. Can you please share your experience about how did you slove the problem about under charging and how can you decide what is the right price to charge with out shorting yourself.

Good to hear from you, Donna. I've found out some things about DraperyPro members I didn't know. Yes, loving what you do is the ultimate, and it just so happens we're in the company of people we enjoy.

Dear Donna,

I would like to invite you to my network of friends and professionals. I own and operate a specialty gift shop in Myrtle Creek, Oregon. I am interested in networking with other professional women.

Donna! Welcome to MyWomanOwnedBusiness.com! Thanks for joining us. Loved your comments on your profile, especially that you didn't charge enough for your services in your early days in business. A good lesson for all of us, which is what this site is all about. Don't forget you can upload video of your products, photos of your design work, and you can blog. Play around with your page. You can use it to drive traffic to your site. Another woman signed up yesterday, who does what you do. She lives in Mission Viejo, CA. You might chat with her. Since you're a continent apart you won't share customers but you can share "issues" and perhaps talk through solutions to problems. Thanks for joining and please pass the word to other women business owners you know.
