Just over 5 months ago, small business owner and single mom, Marcie Mower, wins 2008 Spellbinders Web Retailer of the Year award for her online scrapbooking and die-cutting store at the Craft and Hobby Association Show (CHA).
Sandy, UT -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/13/2009 -- Marcie Mower, single mother of four boys, purchased Cut@Home, LLC from a friend in September of 2006 and has never looked back since. Without any prior business experience and lacking any college education, she bought the business as a way to support her children while working from home. Cut@Home was just what she was looking for! It started out as a part time job, while Marcie worked two other jobs on the side to make ends meet. Two and half years later, she now finds herself running a full blown scrapbooking and die-cutting company. Due to her hard work and many sleepless nights, she finds herself being awarded the Spellbinders Paper Arts Web Retailer of the Year for 2008. “It was such a shock!” says Marcie. “I had no idea we were doing so much business with Spellbinders. I was too busy filling orders and shipping to notice what the numbers were!” Spellbinders is just one of the vendors she carries on her site. Spellbinders is a wholesaler for scrapbooking supplies, mainly die-cuts that can cut, emboss, and stencil. Spellbinders grew significantly in the summer of 2007 due to the overwhelming popularity of their brand new nesting dies called, “Nestabilities”. In turn Cut@Home followed Spellbinders and increased in growth as well becoming their number one online retailer. Cut@Home was already on their way to becoming a bigger company when the entire website was revamped last August. As the owner, Marcie brought customer service to a whole new level by answering all phone calls and emails personally. If you want personal contact and a real person over the phone, Cut@Home is your online store. With the addition of adding the Nestabilities line, (which have completely replaced bulky scrapbook punches) her business has increased substantially from the previous year. “Investing in a more sophisticated website and shopping cart was imperative to keep up with our growth.” Marcie reports. Marcie is quick to attribute the success of Cut@Home to a phenomenal staff, good products at good prices, providing great customer service, and loving support from her family. “I feel providing great customer service for these wonderful women that shop in my store is the least I can do. They make it possible for me to work and provide for my family. I am honored to receive this award and absolutely love working with Spellbinders.” So why do women who scrapbook and paper craft love Cut@Home so much?
