eco rascals

Taking a break ⭐ As a business owner, I understand the relentless nature of the daily grind. Over 200 daily emails, hours of meetings, and constant responsiveness have become the norm, shaping our lives in the digital age. However, I've recently started an amazing training programme to up-skill certain aspects of my marketing game and the first week was spent setting foundations that are integral to building a successful e-commerce brand. It has made me step back and evaluate how I use my time, how much I lose focus and how much I could gain by changing my mindset. Tonight, I'm heading on holiday with my husband and three children. Normally, I would be consistently online, checking my e-mails and immersing myself in the demands of entrepreneurship. But this week, I'm recognising the value of stepping back and recharging, especially when it comes to spending quality time with my family. As we strive for success in our businesses, it's equally essential be present for those who matter most. That's why I've decided to challenge myself to do something I haven't done in far too long – take a holiday. For the next week, I'm committing to switch off from emails, meetings, and the constant stream of notifications. It's time to detach from the digital tether and fully immerse myself in the moments that truly count – those shared with my family. To all that work with or for eco rascals, I appreciate your understanding and support during this time offline. Rest assured, I'll return refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to tackle new challenges! I'll be back on the 1st April! x

Getting out from behind the computer. In the world of e-commerce, 99% of our direct to consumer interactions happen online. Starting today, we're at The Baby Show in London Excel, on stand F25, and we've already met a host of wonderful partners, brands and customers. Speaking to customers directly is a priority for eco rascals. We thrive on being a brand known for providing high quality, safe and sustainable products for children. Over the years, these products have become part of a wonderful community online where Mums share their baby led weaning hacks and favourite recipes. Events like the Baby Show provides us with a wonderful opportunity to converse directly with customers, address queries and discover new opportunities. Whilst we're looking forward to a weekend of connecting, learning and building a stronger sense of community with our customers, it does make me wonder, as a consumer, do you like seeing the brand owners more on the channels you use? #thebabyshow #consumerbrand #retail #b2csales #b2cshow Pictured: co-founder Kristina on our stand!
