Tonight we will be talking with lingerie designer Jennifer Pierre @onlyyoujp to discuss her business journey. Hello @onlyyoujp. We are so delighted to have you with us tonight.
Pleasure is all mine. Excited to join the movement!! @SpeakMovement
Let's start with the basics, tell us about the Jennifer Pierre Signature Collection.
The Jennifer Pierre Signature Collection is a line a of Antique vintage pin-up style pieces of Lingerie & Jewelry
I am a fan of the vintage pin-up look. What inspired you to become a #lingerie and #jewelry designer?
My inspiration comes from seeing my ladies want comfort with their garments but still have that sexy pin up look underneath. I wanted to design pieces showing that "No one can make you inferior without your consent" and a uniqueness in each individual.

Sexy and comfy? Gotta <3 that combo. What do you luv most about lingerie?
What I love about Lingerie is seeing women & men happy when finding that memorable piece...
Would you say it's almost like finding that perfect pair of jeans? ;-)
Yes!!! Just like a comfy pair of jeans...
Lol. Travel back in time w/ me 4 a sec...when u started your collection, what was the most challenging moment you faced?
The most challenging moment I faced when building #JPSC is everyday is a challenge within itself.. You are always growing!!
So true. Being an #entrepreneur is a daily grind. It never gets easy IF you want to be extraordinary.
Absolutely!! Learning is knowledge...
Special Deliver Photoshoot: Luv how my KandeeGems Bracelet (top) stacks nicely with my other accessories. Thanks Jennifer!
One challenge many biz owners face is generating traffic 4 their sites/e-stores. What methods have you found that work for you?
The methods I found for social networking is pin-pointing your market area of who you want to show your biz or product too!
Yes. Knowing your mkt is imperative. In addition to lingerie, u also design jewelry. Talk to us about KandeeGems.
KandeeGems is my jewelry line that is a small but unique line. Each piece is made from Gemstones and Swaroski Gems. KandeeGems has designs of women's bracelets & necklaces & men's bracelets pic.twitter.com/Xq0UbOv5
Hence the name KandeeGems. Awesome ;-)! Some find it hard to run one business successfully, how do you handle running two?
Handling biz is like any other business to run. If u love what u do then it will produce what you love!! #Hardwork #Dedication
Exactly. As #entrepreneurs, we all have our reasons for starting a biz. What was yours?
My reason for starting my biz was to help women understand lingerie and find the right piece for them.
Empowering women is an awesome reason. Alright...last question: what's your favorite fabric to work with? Lace, satin, silk...
My fav pieces 2 work with are satin n lace. They come in many diff colors and designs within the fabric http://t.co/olkcCqur
