Case Study : Magnolia Moon - Helen Mallon

Working from home, Helen started her handmade and bespoke greeting card business in June 2008. Helen said  “Without the help and support of my Business Coach, Gillian Khachikian, and the advice and funding received from Be Enterprising my business would not be where it is today.  Gillian has given me all the support I needed to start up on my own including expert business advice and financial support”

Gillian Khachkian said “Helen has achieved a great deal in the short time it has taken to start up her business.  She is aiming at the high quality end of the market and her cards are exhibited for sale in exclusive shops such as Wooly Blue in Jesmond, The Cornmill in Hexham, The Fat Quarters in Blackhall Mill and The Glass and Art Gallery in Consett, as well as other key shops in the North East and Yorkshire and demand is proving very high.” 

Helen’s production techniques allow her to be able to offer customers a personal service.  Helen said “I do not use any mass production techniques or large scale printing.  This means I can provide small runs, fast turnaround and a bespoke greeting card and wedding stationery service at competitive prices”

“Most of all, I love making beautiful handmade cards for others to enjoy sending and receiving”
