Jumpstart Episode 36: Suzanne Rowland

Suzanne Rowland is owner of Sevier Skirts
Sevier Skirts is a custom skirt company in Nashville, Tennessee, established in 2004.
Rowland sells her casual and playful custom skirts to guests at house parties.
Her staff measure guests, and take custom orders based on the loud and funky fabrics the attendees choose.
Sevier Skirts was born when Rowland couldn’t find a good fit for her career. She began making skirts for fun.
Jason Moore (a previous guest and friend of Jumpstart Foundry) mentored her.
She recommends finding mentors early in your business.
Videos and her blog help communicate how her business operates.
Don’t just have social media accounts, use them.
People are more likely to use her service if they have heard of it multiple times. Social helps with this.
Tips: Find mentors in your city and industry. Ask people in like-industries.
Rowland would gather like-minded people together for lunches to ask their opinions.
She recommends Style Blueprint as a great blog, but also because they have the same customer demographic.
Rowland recommends reading Getting Naked
