Today I would like to share an inspirational story and I hope that it will inspire you to step out. The story is about Samali Namuddu who also happens to be proprietor and create Director of Slick Marketing Limited.
Samali started her company in her mothers house while we were still in University. I remember one of her very first projects was our year book. she tells me her first VAT payment was Kshs 3,500! Fueled by her passion for design and an entrepreneurial spirit she set up Slick Marketing which has now grown to a full fledged advertising and marketing communications agency and will be celebrating its 5th anniversary very soon. Slick marketing offers practical and relevant solutions to meet the needs of SME's. That is it's niche. Samali's dream is to create a world renown brand from the SME's that come to her everyday. She moved on from creating our year book as well as designing a lot of wedding materials for her classmates to building a business that services growing businesses in the Small and Medium enterprise industry. She creates business cards, brochures, web designs, marketing strategies, brand strategies, all with a personalized touch to bring out the personality of every business.
According to Samali, integrity is one of the key things necessary to build a successful business. This ensures you get repeat and referral customers. Courage is another key ingredient. It does not matter how long you wait to start a business. You will still have to build it from the ground up. Would you rather do that while you are still young or when you have kids to send to college and mortgages to pay? it is up to you to decide.
I must say that watching slick marketing grow has been truly inspiring. Please visit their website to see what customized solutions that Slick has to offer your business.
