Ladylammie Creations
CEO of Ladylammie Creations, Adesalu Olamide on 9jastartupseries.blogspot.com
Kindly introduce
yourself?
I am Adesalu Olamide, CEO of
Ladylammie Creations, a brand that is into craft work and bead making.
When did you start this venture?
It started in September of 2013. A friend of mine
was in my room one day, and she was on the phone talking to a friend about
bead. I have always had interest in knowing how to make beads, so I asked her
if she would be willing to teach me, and she agreed.
Why the name Ladylammie Creations?
I wanted to open an account on
twitter and wanted something to go with my name. I couldn't come up with any
that hasn't been used, but suddenly a friend came up with the name and it stuck
since then
Kindly tell us about your educational background?
I studied Politics and
International Relations at Lead city University, Ibadan
With a degree in Politics and International Relations, do you intend on
going for the regular 8am-5pm job?
Well surprisingly, after my
youth corp. service, I decided not to write a Curriculum Vitae (CV) as I wanted
to focus on my business but you know how mothers are like. I told her to give
me 3 months to prove myself after which I will write my CV, and look for a job.
During that period, I did so well that people were amazed. So the answer to
your question is, I don't think I want a job that will keep me away from doing
my business.
What separates Ladylammie Creations from other brands out there?
Ladylammie offers unique
designs, creativity, and also affordable craft works. We also provide not just
business relationship but also friendly relationship with our customers. There
are also some freebies for consistent customers * terms and conditions apply
Where can customers find your products and what are the price range?
You can find them on our
facebook page "Ladylammie Creations", and you can add me up on
29782EBD. The price range starts from 5000 naira, and above.
How can the government support SMEs in Nigeria?
The government can help by
holding seminars and conferences creating awareness on the importance of SMEs
and also by giving incentives.
Any last words?
I will like to say to people
out there, young or old, please engage your hands, be creative. Try and find
something to do along with the work you have no matter how little it is. Invest
in it, and in no time it will yield positively.
