Hey plant lover! We are fully stocked with gorgeous new plants, just in time for the weekend. There’s something for everybody in this latest delivery. Come and check out what’s new. We’ll be here until 6pm today and open from 10am on Saturday. See you soon! 😃💚🌱🌵
STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD ⠀ ⠀ Everywhere you look, there may be a certain style that seems to jump out at you - and you LOVE it. ⠀ Until you decide you must have your brand styled this way too. So you jump in and rebrand in this style and it makes you so excited to look at your new shiny look 😍⠀ ⠀ Then you notice that there’s an awful lot of other websites that look similar to yours, your chic little logo is spotted all over someone else’s branding and that happy feeling you once had is now quickly disappearing. ⠀ ⠀ This is where a lot of business owners go wrong, they fall in love with a fashionable style. But they forget their visual identity is the equivalent of their brands personality. ⠀ What makes a great personality is the differences and uniqueness of that person. The dirty laugh or the love of leopard print, the inability to pronounce a certain word or the way they can’t walk past a cat on the street without stroking it. I’m not suggesting we add all those to your logo though!⠀ ⠀ Use what makes you unique and incorporate this into your brand to make it you, and there is definitely NO reason for it not to look beautiful too. ⠀ ⠀ These are the ingredients to create a memorable brand that sets you apart from the crowd. ⠀ ⠀

WHAT'S YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR STARTING A BUSINESS?⠀ ⠀ We've found it a HUGE learning curve to run our own business, despite working as freelancers previously.⠀ ⠀ Managing multiple clients, waiting for feedback, responding to inquiries, creating proposals and contracts, creating social media it was easy to feel really overwhelmed.⠀ ⠀ The best advice I found was to put systems in place to manage as much of this as we could. ⠀ This could be scheduling social media posts for the week. Having a process we follow with every client, that we could use over and over when welcoming clients on board, creating branded versions of all the forms we send to clients to find out about their business. All of this was really helpful in stopping wasting time, no more multiple email threads and phone calls between us and our clients, it really streamlined our business.⠀ ⠀ What is the most helpful piece of advice you've learnt the hard way through your business journey?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

I have to say that I’m really enjoying my first proper day of work in my new Studio at #southlandsmethodistchurch on @bishyroad. I had a lovely walk here via #rowntreepark, took photos of squirrels and trees and actually had a few people to talk to when I got here! I just had a little afternoon walk down the road, got a yummy Mediterranean vegetable roll from @costellosgoodfoodshop and had a great chat with the lovely owner of @olivesnestyork. What a gorgeous shop that is. If you’ve never been then you’re missing one of York’s best Indie shops so get yourself there! Now I’m eating my dinner with this awesome dude made by @donnataylorart. I think I’m going to like it here! ☺️ #art #artist #textileartist #studio #artstudio #indieyork #york #yorkartist #carolineutterson #giraffe #feelslikehome #lovemyjobtoday

What is your trick to get your creative juices a flowin’? I find that when I’m away from my laptop, interacting with other creatives or when I’m relaxed is when I’m open to ideas.

EEEK, I'M SO FLIPPING EXCITED AND A LITTLE NERVOUS!⠀ ⠀ As our website launch comes nearer we've decided to only way to get the images on our site looking the way we want was to book a photo shoot for professional branding shots.⠀ ⠀ We knew that the images we had lined up were nice enough, but didn't really say anything about us or show our personalities. There's nothing that frustrates me more than looking at a website and not seeing what the person I'm considering hiring even looks like, and don't get me started on bland corporate images - They make me shudder a little!⠀ ⠀ So we knew it was time to get busy getting some professional images for our site ... ⠀ But, to be honest we're both happier behind the scenes, anything that screams "Look at Me" makes me a bit nervous, and I’m not overly keen on looking at my own photo, but we got in touch with @brandingphotographeruk and have arranged a shoot at one of our favourite locations. ⠀ ⠀ I can’t wait to see what she does with us and how her images finish off our new website! ⠀ ⠀ Have you got plenty of images of yourself on your website or do you prefer to hide away too? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

It’s the weekend plant lover!!! Come and see what’s new in the shop. We’re open until 6pm today but closed on Sunday so don’t be disappointed. #weekendsareforplantshopping
This has been such a hard post to write, but here goes: The Gift Gallery is closing down at the end of the month 😢. It’s been such a difficult decision involving many sleepless nights and one that involves many reasons. We’ve been going for 8 years, won awards and met some really wonderful makers, neighbours and customers who have now become friends and it will be so sad to say goodbye at the end of the month. But - every cloud has a silver lining, we’re celebrating how much we’ve achieved with a closing down sale where EVERYTHING is half price! It’s running until the 27th of October so pop in and grab some bargains - the perfect opportunity to start your Christmas shopping! Please tell your friends and spread the word, we want as many people to join us in celebrating the last 8 years #closingdown #sale #closingdownsale #york #indieretail #indieyork

He's incredibly passionate about what he does and shows a genuine interest in his clients' businesses.⠀ ⠀ Read more about his motivations and his reasons for setting up the business by using the link in the bio. ⠀ Thanks Chris!
