The background story of the entrepreneur

Out of my love for excellence, creativity, and innovation, then comes integration into this country.

 

I have been working in the field of tailoring for a while, but now in sales and purchasing, it’s my first time.

Lessons

Learning the language

Introducing locals to Middle Eastern products

Growth of social media outreach

Expanding the variety of products sold

“Honesty and integrity in dealing with customers”

Description of the company/business

 

The store is based on the Middle East concept. Moreover, majority of the people involved are immigrants who come from different backgrounds.

LESSONS FOR PatENT

 

Increased visibility and better brand development. For now, it is hard to understand what the project is about entirely from social media outreach. If there were not local partners in Lithuania who helped a lot to familiarize with the project concept, such initiative would not interest me.
