Ok, rant time!
Copying another small business IS NOT COOL! 😡
I've just discovered a business which recently started following me and another small bizz friend has suddenly started copying exactly what we do -sharing the same gifts we've just shared onto their own page 😡 each day .
Just a week ago, they did their own melts, here's the thing, I work exceptionally hard ..many hours a day I'll never be paid for...just trying to provide for my family.
Behind every product, ✨️
Every hour not spent with my children is to try pay the bills, provide clothes or new shoes or a trip out they wouldn't otherwise have✨️
The endless days ✨️
The trying to save money to carry physical stock ✨️
The planning ✨️
Researching ✨️
Creating posts ✨️
Editing pics ✨️
Money invested ✨️
Is a real person trying their best.
Waking this morning to see this person posting what I post 📫
Looking at their page and also spotted other small businesses recent merchandise ideas taken
Really infuriated me.😡
It's hard enough being a unique Small business as it is during the worst cost living crisis ever!
It's one thing to be inspired -but straight up copying someones ideas, photos shows only one thing......you lack your own identity, have no originality of your own .
Be careful guys who follows you
