Landfills are disease's breeding grounds, and they are wreaking havoc on the unorganized sector of the ragpicker population who live right next to landfills” says Ms Kanika Ahuja, Director of Conserve India .

Owner LuAnn Martelli had been working in the industry for over 28 years before she made the decision nine years ago to open her own company, Finally My Salon, in Glendale, New York. “I was tired of working for other people's agendas and decided to open up my own salon in my neighborhood,” she said. Martelli grew frustrated in an industry where others were unwilling to keep up with trends. This frustration grew into a deep passion to open up her own business. Martelli said, “Opening up my own business would be the opportunity to make sure I built a team of workers that share the same passion, and aren’t in it just for profit.”

The business I interviewed is Vibrant Phulkari. Vibrant Phulkari is an Indian clothing and accessories boutique that sells all types of Indian clothing, jewelry, and clutches. It is a home-based business and is local in Virginia. I am from India, and it’s hard to go back home to get clothing for special occasions. I found out about this company, and it works out well. The prices are affordable, the location is perfect for me, and the customer service is excellent. Every time I walked in, I felt so welcomed; they helped me with the fitting and made me feel valued. The whole family comes down to help the client, which is fantastic because there are more people who can give their opinion about something and advise you the right way.
The first question I asked the business owner was to tell us a story about their experience with your company. She told me that she goes to exhibitions to get their company out there for advertisement and to have customers see our products and purchase them. One of their experiences was that many of their clients complemented their products and complimented our services, and we always enjoyed hearing good feedback. They also go out of state to other exhibitions to inform clients about the company and the quality of our clothing and accessories and get more clientele. When they do a transaction, they would take the customer’s name and number, create a profile, and call them to follow up on the pieces they purchased. That, to me, is excellent customer service because I would love a company to follow up with me about the details I bought because it shows me that they care and are here for me if I need anything.
My second question was about a high point moment for the company. One of the high point moments for them was that many of their customers complimented their products and services, and that would mean a lot to the company because, for them, it means that they are doing well. Another high point moment was when their whole family worked together as a team. I would always support a family-owned business instead of a franchise or a company chain business, for example, Macy’s, JCPenney, etc. In a family-owned business, it’s always better customer service, and I would always support family-owned companies first so that I can support them. Another high point moment for them was that the exhibitions they would go to were successful, and they had many customers call to make appointments to get more products from them and custom order their pieces. The business owner also said that everyone loves our products' quality and told us that we will always shop at your company for special occasions.
