Craft business receives boost from former Dragon
Crafty You Crafty Me has received a major boost from former Dragon’s Den investor Theo Paphitis.
The business, founded by Sarah Hodgkinson, has secured membership of the prestigious Small Business Sunday club (SBS), created by the entrepreneur.
The membership came about after Sarah tweeted Theo about her business during Small Business Sunday and was one of six weekly winners to gain a retweet by him to his near half a million Twitter followers.
The retweet resulted in Crafty You Crafty Me seeing a surge in followers and an increase in orders for its range of craft kits.
Sarah launched Crafty You Crafty Me during the pandemic last year, designing and making craft kits then selling them online.
Earlier this year, the business was highly commended in Marketing Derby’s Rising Star initiative.
As Covid restrictions have eased Sarah has begun wholesaling kits to shops across the region.
Sarah said: “Having my small business recognised by Theo Paphitis is truly amazing and such an honour.”
