When you have no prior experience in running a business it’s hard to know what to expect. We initially envisioned selling a little on the side, attending the odd local Makers Market and making baby steps along the way. Little did we know how quickly things can grow when you get discovered by the right people!

One day, when playing at the park with my kids, I received a really exciting phone call from The Block Shop! Not long later we were selling our products through The Block Shop online. The team at The Blocks Shop are just amazing and we really love working with them; and we feel really privileged to have our items sold alongside some great products from all over Australia.

This has lead to opportunities for our pieces featured in many series of The Block, for which we are very grateful for the experience. The Team at The Block Shop are so supportive to other small businesses and we love working with them. Like us, they are all about offering great customer service, so if you have discovered us by shopping online at The Block Shop, or any other eCommerce store, and have ended up here reading my little blog then “hello, we are so glad you found us!”

After joining The Block Shop we began to be discovered by many other eCommerce platforms, some smaller and some larger, and all of those experiences have been valuable learning curves and great opportunities to discover our current customer base. While we love for our customers to purchase directly through us, as we know we can provide the best level of service this way, we know many sales have come through our connection to The Block Shop, Buy From the Bush, Etsy, just to name a few. But now that you have found our direct online store, we hope you will keep coming back to this space for your Jemmervale Design purchases. Also, if you haven’t already, please join our VIP list for access to newly released products and VIP only discount codes.

In the following article I will go into more details for each series of The Block we have featured in! And keep your eye on this space, as who know when you might see our pieces on TV next?
