About

Hey, my name is Jalyn Knightshaw and its my time to share my story before we get on to BeDazzled. I am 16 years old. I live with my mom, my Grandpa, my brother, and my dog Gail. Im born and raised in Kansas. Since I was a little kid I have been all about my money and I knew I wanted to grow up and do something but now I need to start from somewhere. I am an organized person. My family says I am the "clean freak" in the house but I like everything looking perfect.

Part 1:

We’re walking around with boring phone case. We keep paying money for phone cases that break in a few months. Our cases don’t match our personality. We just get cases and don’t even know what their putting on their phone. BeDazzled comes in clutch because we make sure our customers get exactly what they asked for.

Our cases are going to be one of the most high quality cases. People can customize their case, and use their creativeness and their personality.

Part 2:

Try to sell to online MarketPlaces like Esty, Tiktok Shop, Amazon, Depop. And look out for teenage audience.

My vertical is ages 10-18. Because I feel like every age could add some cute a bajazz to there life. But I would startup by selling on market places, then I will branch out and do all Shawnee Mission School District.

Part 3:

I am going to use TikTok first because people see and usually are interested in what people have to sell, Then add a link so my TikTok can find the Instagram account and make a Lemon* and get a account going on there. 10 year olds probably do not use TikTok so I wanted be available so all age can find me. Then, to get my products out more, I'll have people send in reviews for deals off next items.

Part 4:

My competition includes: @Elite.shine , @GlitteringQt, and @SparkledByLaney. Their all sellers online.
There are bedazzling business out there but not one where it is fully customizable. You also get to fill out a fun, quick and easy survey so I can take notes how to make your dream Bedazzled product.

Next Steps

Make sure I can get all my supplies and make sure I can afford it.

Other Information

Resource  |  Support Needs

I will need supplies to make the BeDazzled stuff- like phone cases, ipad cases, air pod case, good quality chargers, airpod cases, and high quality headphones.
