Small Biz, Big Ideas Runner Up:
Re-defined Boutique

Congratulations to Jenna Boykin, owner of Re:defined Boutique and winner of $1,000 as one of the runners up in our Small Biz, Big Ideas competition.  We asked her to share a little bit more about her business and her big idea.

Tell us about yourself and you how you first got involved in small business?

I was a stay at home Mom with a Piano Performance degree…..I jumped blindly into starting a small business!

Tell Us About How and When You Started Your Business?

After suffering from an eating disorder for many years, I wanted to make something good out of my experience. I decided that there was no better platform to share my story and spread truth and hope about body image than a women’s boutique….so I did it!

How Did You Feel When You Found Out You Won the Prize?

SUPER PUMPED!

What Was Your Small Biz, Big Idea?

Because I love to have a mission for my business(es), I was inspired to start carrying children’s clothing and have 10% of the profits from these sales go towards an adoption grant/scholarship program. My HUGE goal is to help loving parents and fund at least 1 adoption per year.

Applicants will write essays and be interviewed to be in the running for this money. What better way to make a difference in my community and world, than help give orphaned children a loving family and a loving family the child they so long for!?

I have always been touched and convicted that there are too many orphans in this world. I HAVE to be a part of saving some of these lives.

What is Your Intention With The Money? How will you implement the idea?

The money I received from this contest will go towards buying inventory for my children’s space!

I think that my sales will definitely increase because who doesn’t like unique children’s clothes and gifts?
