155 | Using a Fulfillment Warehouse with Jomana Siddiqui, Pences Design Studio

How amazing does it sound to have someone else take over your packing and shipping needs? Think about it… How many hours a day (or even a week) could that save you?

Having a fulfillment warehouse that takes care of this for you could lend you time in your busy schedule. It might even be able to save you money in the long run. In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking about that with Paper Camp Alum, Jomana Siddiqui.

Jomana is the creative behind 3, yes you heard that right, 3 different businesses. She runs a graphic design business called Pences Design Studio, a retail business named modernEID all while authoring a lifestyle blog.

We get into what her experience was with working with a manufacturing company in China. Plus, the hiccup she faced after working with them. She shares how using a fulfillment center changed her business for the better. Jomana also discusses how connections and being in the right place at the right time can help land partnerships with brands you dream of working with.

ON TODAY'S EPISODE:

  • How Jomana got started with her three different businesses
  • How she balances the time she spends on each of her companies
  • Using content batching to get work completed
  • Her manufacturing process and how it's evolved over time
  • How working with a fulfillment center was a huge turning point in her business
  • Jomana's worries about using a fulfillment center
  • Her experience of working with a manufacturing company in China
  • The process she went through to find new manufacturers
  • How her partnerships with Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Walmart came about
  • What she wishes she'd have known when starting her businesses
  • What's next for Jomana's brands
