Secondly, my plan is to make my marketing fun for kids and mature for adults to reach all audiences. Third, I will be diligent on setting the bar of the knowledge base benefits and attributes of using therapeutic 100% essential oils versus using products that have aluminum, alcohol, baking soda and parabens. I am known for giving great customer service, I will lead my team to be even better. I have a pending trademark with the USPTO. I launched my product for sale 12/15/2021. The business is officially certified as being African American woman owned. Fresh Lil Pitz has growing followers on social media. Great reviews from customers about the product. I have made some progress for Fresh Pitz for adults. (Legacy) for Men and (Dignity) for women. I have completed my business plan and have been searching for grants to keep up with demand of the product. I've enrolled in a small business series at my local college and received certification of completion at HCC Small Business Series sponsored by Wells Fargo. Completed HCC Women Wednesday's Entrepreneurial Initiatives classes. Became a member of the Greater Houston Chamber of Commerce. I hope you can feel the sincerity in my words. An opportunity such as this will be a blessing to my family and my business. I currently work a fulltime job so it has not been easy managing a small startup business, raising three kids and attending workshops and classes to gain knowledge to me more successful as an entrepreneur, but it has all been so rewarding. We have created a product that is safe and effective for kids as young as two years old. The product contains all natural ingredients safe for tender and sensitive skin. It does not contain harmful or toxic ingredients found in most deodorant like: aluminum, alcohol, baking soda or parabens. It stops the smelly armpit issues. Our business is also committed to improving our community by creating more jobs, we are also committed to donating a portion of our sales and our products to the Covenant House for homeless teenagers in our local community and recently hosted a fundraising and hygiene donation drive for them that proved to be successful!. It is truly a blessing to help those in need. There was a point in my life as a teenager when I too was homeless. It was one of the most challenging and terrifying times of my life. It was because of an organization like The Covenant House that helped through those times. Investing in Queen By All Means Creations is investing in a person who will not give up! I will keep pushing and striving to make my business even more successful than my competitors.
