Tell us about your business:
Spree with Me is a marketplace for personal styling services.
For clients, we provide a new approach to personal styling services, making it accessible service for the everyday woman for increased confidence.
We drive positive change through collaboration; we empower stylists, who then empower others through styling, and support ethical shopping and local designers.
For personal stylists, we help to support and fast-track their business success. We provide personal stylists for the following for their business to thrive:
• Client bookings
• Website,
• Marketing and advertising,
• Social media
• Training
• Partnership opportunities
• Business support services
• Financial and business admin
• and more.
How would $5k or $10k enable you to create more profit and impact in your business?
Expansion and scaling: We'd empower 10 personal stylists to join the Style Squad. With $5K we’d empower new 5 stylists across Australia.
This funding eradicates stylists’ business entry barriers, enables our rapid nationwide expansion, augmenting service sales, and provides a catalyst for impactful career growth and amplified business success. We'd provide vital support in building their success as an independent stylist.
Marketing and advertising: We'd refine our branding, elevating our online presence for improved engagement.
This would ensure the success of Spree with Me and our stylists.
Wider impacts include increased spending at local designers, ethical and sustainable Australian fashion.
