I would personally say your USP is incorporating Welsh into your artwork and stationery. That’s why I personally fell in love with your brand etc. as someone who has lived in Wales their entire life.
Aww this means so much to be Sophie! Diolch yn fawr 💖🏴 xxx
hai I'm from belgium and I want to start my own business and watching you help's me a lot. and I love to watch you and your dog I love you both 😘😘😘😘
Hi there! Aww best of luck lovely! You got this! xxx
I'd totally love one of those dog tags for my dog maggie!
Yaaay! I'll have to get making them!! xxxx
Natasha I love the bright pink one 💕I’m so drawn to it pink is one of my power colours dusky pink is not for me and how much are they …I hope I get one💕💕
Me toooo! I may bring out another design for it but it scares me as it's so bright, haha! I worry if people will buy. The sweaters are £39.99 GBP xxx
love both pinks for the sweaters but I'd most likely order dusky pink myself, it's a lovely colour x
This was also my thoughts! Thank you sooo much :D xxx
Ah how exciting to hear the podcast mentioned on your vlog! Thank you so much again for guesting - it was such an amazing episode! 💜
Thank you so much for hosting Verity! Always love listening to your podcasts and it was such an honour to be a guest 💖
New Glasses woo woo :) cute! Also even in Australia where its summer we're all feeling meh this January
Oh no!! I hope February brings better vibes for us all! xxx
Do both colours.. I like the bright pink x
Hey sweetie, sorry to hear that you were poorly with covid and it sure took its time to disappear. I’m glad you are feeling much better now. I love the hot pink sweater, I would 100% wear that colour ☺️ Always love watching your vlogs, have a fab weekend 🥰 xxx
Hi Leona! Aww that's so sweet of you! Depending on how well the dusty pink sells, I MAY do a pre-order for the hot pink :D xxx Hope you're good!
I love the bolder pink for sure! I need it!
Thank you for sharing the new glasses😎😎❤❤🤗🤗🎉🎉
Thank you for sending me them! I love them! :D xxx
Dusky pink is the winner x
I love love the hot pink! Go with what you know, and don't underestimate yourself. You are Brilliant!
been looking to get replacement ear bud things, off to order some now - perfect timing thanks :)
Glad I could help! I love mine! xxx
Really enjoying your vlogs from another fellow youtuber. I use to embroider sweatshirts etc on my channel but I sold my machine and just stick to my art and crafts now! I’m also in the UK. ❤
Omgosh I bet that was so fun! I'd love to have my own machine to experiment with some day 💖
@@CoconuTacha it was really fun. Creating really beautiful designs. It’s just the time consuming as it takes soooo long to do some designs so business wise bless you have multiple machines, it’s not worth the outgoings. 💖
So glad that you are feeling better. I think the dusty pink for the sweater would be a good choice. Your designs are so adorable, and with a more subtle color, the embroidery would be the star.
Thank you sooo much! Yes! The embroidery stands out so much more on the dusty pink! :D xxx
I like your metal glasses, sooo cute!
Thank you so much!!xxx
The hot pink looks amazing with this design! But i personaly agree that dusty pink is a lot more wearable haha.
Yay thank you! I'm glad I made the right decision then phew!! xxx
I love the dusty pink💖
Me too! 😁 thank you! xxx
Love the bright pink
Me too! I still have some available too 😍 xxx
so glad to see you back...was just wondering about your vlogs the other day - coming from someone who is like 3 months overdue on a vlog.....time to get the camera back out lol...thanks for your vlog. Take care of yourself. xkaren
Hahah I film bits as I go along and then before I know it, it's already been 3-4 weeks hehe oops! But I hope it makes for a more exciting vlog :D xxx
You should do the bright pink as a limited addition collection or something! Xx
I just always love your blogs but also love how your dog always has you bigger office chair 😂
Hahahah yep he's stolen it! I've not sat in it for a very long time lool! xx
Hoping you feel better!
Thank you! I am :D xxx
I think that the bright pink sweater would look amazing with your new sticker/pin designs.
Neon pink for the win!
I'm doing pre-orders for these on March 31st! 😍 xxx
Glad you are feeling better. I like both the bright pink and dusty pink options!
Thank you sooo much Lucy! The dusty pink is available now for Patreons, and tonight at 7pm for everyone else! :D xxx
I hope you are feeling better now! I was ill with a chest infection last month also. I got bored of being unwell and tried to work a bit to early which resulted in a mistake with an order too. It happens! So glad your customer was nice about it and I am excited to see what else you will do this year :)
Aww thank you so much! I hope you're feeling better now xxx
Glad you are feeling better =) ooh i love that old making magic design 🤩 wish i could get my hands on that 🙈 love the now design too, so will still probably get one 😍
Love how you changed the creativi-tea sticker 😄 The dusty pink one is really pretty 🥰
Thank you so much Beathe! So glad you like the new designs and the dusty pink sweater :D xxx Thank you for watching!
I'm glad you're feeling better! Those dog tags are adorable. I didn't know there are PR courses out there. Good to know! I love how Mochi sits on your desk chair 🥰 I love those cards!
There's courses for absolutely everything it's amazing! 😁 Lol he's truly stolen my chair now. Luckily I have a new one on the way...
Hello Tacha. If I’m to describe what’s unique about your brand I’d say that there’s something bright, cheerful and therapeutic about your graphic designs. The colours and fonts give off positivity.
As for the sweater choice, I’d choose the dusty pink. They’re beautiful. Sub from 🇳🇬
Wow, thank you! That's so lovely of you to say 💖
The new sweaters are so beautiful!! And Both pinks are so gorgeous ❤️✨
Thank you sooo much Vikki! xxx
@@CoconuTacha 💗💗💗
Love both colors, dusty pink mighy be the best option for daily wearing🤩
Yesss I totally agree! This was my thinking too :D Yay! xxx
i'd say see how well or how fast the dusy pnk sells and the birght one could be variation 2
Yes! I did that and now have pre-orders opening up for the hot pink on March 31st 😁 xxx
I like both pinks but the dusty pink would be my first choice.
Yaaaay mine too! I'm soo glad! xxx
Dusty pink is a great choice if you have to choose one! :)
Yaaaay I'm so so glad! Thank you! xxx
I was just talking to my therapist about how I’ve been struggling so much this month and have been sort of behind on what I’ve wanted to get done.
It’s just been a lot these past few years and usually January is a month of us coming down from the stress and rush of the holidays and other chaos like the economy, price increases, heating, shipping, etc.
For me too my work picked up and lead to burnout and at this point I’m like you know what? I don’t need to start goals now there’s next month, who says my new year has to start now when my body and mind need to be a priority? I just watched a video too about doing goals in 3 month increments versus every month and to be honest I have the lowest energy and mood from November until February/March.
I’m glad you’re feeling better, but don’t feel hard on yourself for feeling meh. I think many of us do seasonally everything is meh and resting, so it’s only normal for our bodies to want to do the same. The weather especially the sun has a huge impact on us. I live in Connecticut and normally we get a lot of snow, but it’s been a mild and rainy winter. We’ve seen the sun maybe 3 times and even then it’s not enough because of how early it still goes down! It definitely affects me and this year has been so gloomy and draining. After it snows the sun comes out, but because it hasn’t here we haven’t had much snow and it’s supposed to be well below freezing this weekend with the wind chill!
I think to for your USPs something that stands out to me is your style. You have a very strong graphic design sense, but instead of keeping it rigid and commercial, you make it fun and almost illustration like the best of both worlds and I admire it as a designer and illustrator myself.
Hi what machine do you use for your foiling? I love this channel and as an artist myself there’s so much valuable information that you give us. I love everything you do! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi lovely! Oh thank you sooo much! I use a Mint foil machine 😁
Ah love that bright- it’s my colour!! Pre-order is an option if you’re wary- it will give you an idea on numbers… also your USP is those colours you use 💯 cities… Welsh phrases…
Ahhh Keziah I knowww I'm so sorry! I didn't;t think anyone would like it and it was only for a sample and then I was like 'oooh' and instagram was like 'aaaah!' lmaooo. Maybe I'll think of a design for that colour and do pre-orders! Thank you for the USP help, it's hard to think when it's your own! xxx
I love both pink the bright one is my favourite but you can always make another in the bright pink I’d love a small business one in the bright pink 😁💕xx
Pleased your feeling a bit better luv.
Thank you Carol! Me too, it's been a while 🤣 xxx
I liked both sweaters but if I’m honest I’ll wear the dusty pink more than a bright hot pink 🫣
Yesss this was my thinking too! Ahh I'm glad I made the right decision :D They're available now eeek! xxx
Your USP would be "your unique style" (if you want to avoid sounding like 'me-me-me' - it ultimately does mean 'you' but not in the way you don't want it to sound. I hope that makes sense :)
Ahh that's such a good way of putting it! I struggle with words so much haha! xxx
Oh I want one in Dusty pink are the sweatshirts heavy Fabric or cotton?
I’m still suffering from brain fog 2 years on!! It’s way worse in public especially shops. At times it’s actually been very scary 😟 I hope you get well soon 💖
Oh my goodness! :( It's really not nice! At one point I completely forgot where I was driving to in the car! I hope you feel better soon xxxxxx take care of yourself!
Long term covid is frightening, have you talked to any specialists about this? It can also be triggered by other things too like anxiety, caffeine, sugar etc. maybe you get anxiety in public spaces and it makes the symptoms worse.
@@mrs.quills7061 I’ve spoken to a couple of doctors but all they’ve said is that is a typical symptom of long covid, and eventually it will pass.. Its significantly at lot better than it use to be but when I’m tired it’s worse
What if you offered them as a pre order, then you'd know how many you need to order? Also, Happy new year, x
I've done this before but I didn't like making people wait so long to receive their orders as I had to order everything in, then get it made, then shipped etc. However, I will definitely do pre-orders again in future for the products I'm not 100% sure about! I definitely need to plan better haha xxx
I'd be interested in taking the PR course you mentioned. Where can I find it? :)
Hi Tacha! Could you please tell me which software program you are using here for designing your graphics ???
Sure! I'm using Affinity Designer - I highly recommend it! xxx
Hi! Do you embroider your own sweaters or do you get them manufactured?
I use a local embroidery shop - I'm always there seeing the process and behind the scenes. I'm so lucky that I get to be so hands-on throughout the entire process. I'm heading back down there today for more! 😁 I'd love to have my own embroidery machine one day though 💖
How long are the sweaters? I don't see any photos. Are they above the hips?
They're quite long I'd say but not crazy! They sit just below the hips, but the larger the size, the longer they are too :) I wear a size M and its perfectly oversized and lovely to wear leggings with, if that helps! I'm a UK size 8 xxx
I know you're a small business and it makes itmore difficult to do so but PLEASE take care of yourself. Long covid isn't a joke take tings very slow.
Thank you so much lovely, it's definitely tough! xxx
I like dusty pink better
Some typos on the document
for the USP, althoguh yes you are a USP there is more to it than that. thake your traits and translate them. and don't forget about the other ones like UK based, community driven etc. made in home. And to be that annoying teacher, what makes you diffrent from UK based illustrator business that also use social media and patreon. For a really good thinker haha (I'd also recommend not forgetting baout any of your tech skills either. for example you seem to know illustrated inside and out)
Ahh thank you so much for your help! I hate being sales-y and thinking of USPs etc but I guess it's what needs to be done in business sometimes! :D xxx
PR is public relations
Hi, I thought I’d mention, as you’ve been experiencing brain fog, that your address seems to be on display on Mochi’s badge. Of course, it may be a false one, and I’m stupid for thinking otherwise ☺️.
Aww thank you so much for looking out for me! xxxx Luckily it's a fake address - but it's definitely something I would've done when I was experiencing the brain fog! You're so thoughtful thank you that's really kind xxx
I feel your indecisive pain 🤣 The hot pink looks lovely as a colour and in photos, but for a practical, wearable colour, the dusty pink is definitely the winner 🤗 It will suit most people and complexions; I reckon the hot pink is not the easiest colour for a lot of folk to wear!
...... It's a lovely sweater design!
I 100% agree! I LOVE how the hot pink looks in photos, but on me I know the dusty pink will match more of my other clothes hehe. Although, im all for bright colours.... who knows!
