Money where your mouth is…

Welcome 2015.  i had a lovely long break over Christmas enjoying the joys and freezing cold of New England, knowing that this will probably the last time for a while that I can take a holiday…

…because, yes, I successfully completed my first raise before Christmas so now it is time to build the marketplace.  Still taking small steps, so we are using an off the shelf site to keep costs low and launching with just a couple of partners, including Castellano Ethnic Origins (as a soft launch) – aiming to be in the next 4-6 weeks.  We are also expanding the Just Clothing Company product range to include some scarves from Women’s Weave, an amazing organisation aiming at providing employment and preserving traditional weaving skills in India.

However, I’ve still to settle on a name for the marketplace.  The question is do we go for a neutral name (e.g. JUST) or one that specifically states what we are doing in the title (justethical, justforwomen, justsupportingwomen etc.)?  Still undecided but need to make a decision soon.

So back to it – Happy New Year to you all
