My Story
Back in 2014 my partner Malcolm Trollope-Davis drew a very detailed map of our home town of Lewes, UK. After seeing our map, family and friends wanted to buy one. So we decided to sell art prints online and Lewes Map Store was born. At the beginning we only had three products! Today as well as our Lewes Map and Brighton Map collection we sell a beautiful selection of handcrafted products from UK designers and makers.
In my studio…I think this is about 2016…
I much rather prefer being the one behind the camera 🙂
How did growing our online shop lead to the creation of Curly Carrot?
As well as product styling and photography, managing the shop and sourcing new products, I market our online shop through social media and Pinterest. I absolutely love working on Lewes Map Store and have learnt so much about what is effective and what isn’t when it comes to marketing. I started with an Instagram account and enjoy the emphasis on beautiful photography and being able to connect with the supportive community there..
However, it’s Pinterest that has been my biggest surprise. After implementing my first Pinterest strategy I was amazed how much traffic to my online shop increased just after a few months! In 2018 I created Curly Carrot to share really useful Pinterest tips and tricks. Introducing and applying my Pinterest marketing strategies to my clients brings great results time and time again and I look forward to sharing them with you.
Here is where the magic happens…
