Today, I’m joined by the power duo behind Dazed & Engaged. Now, I thought hen dos were all about willy straws and strippers, but these two have flipped the script and turned the party industry into serious business. Who knew you could make millions selling more than just inflatable penises!

We kick things off by going back to how it all started – spotting a gap in the market for hen party supplies that aren’t tacky as hell. They saw the opportunity, jumped in, and built a global e-commerce empire out of Dubai!

We get into the nitty-gritty of suppliers, stock, and how they’ve expanded their product line. Forget just having a few party favours – they’ve got it down to a science. And building a business in Dubai? Let’s just say it’s a bit more complex than chucking up a website and waiting for the cash to roll in.

Amelia and Holly share how they’ve grown their e-commerce platform from the ground up, and their marketing tactics to drive traffic are next-level.

What you'll get out of this episode:

• Proven Social Media and Advertising Strategies: Discover effective methods that go beyond the usual “post and pray” approach.
• Insights into Business Partnerships: Learn about the ups and downs of running a business with a partner, handling competition, and keeping things on track.
• Mastering Customer Retention: Get tips on how to keep your customers loyal and coming back for more.
  
  

So, if you’re thinking of starting a business, want the ins and outs of dropshipping, or are looking to build an e-commerce empire without the bollocks, this episode’s for you.
