Having worked in the education sector for 11 years I decided to take a leap of faith & start up two very different businesses that I was very passionate about. I knew very little about the business world and learnt through making mistakes and meeting great people! Andrea at Sophia’s Diary was one of those people. She was aware of the issues I faced as a start up business, and as a working mother! She was really supportive, gave me great advice and introduced me to lots of potential clients. Her caring attitude was genuine & her attention to detail meticulous.
Within a week of being signed up to Sophia’s Diary I received a two new clients for Blue Lotus Furniture with lots more who made enquiries. A week later I received bookings & enquiries for Blue Lotus Massage.
There is a very real buzz at Sophia’s Diary, the goal of connecting local parents & families to quality services is paramount!
Sophia’s Diary is such a great concept, from the minute I started using the website for my children’s social life until my business, Crafty Chefs became part of this great website. I have realised just how useful the site is. I have gained fantastic customers through the site who have now become regulars and I’ve made great connections with other businesses. I can’t thank Andrea enough for the support she provides for me & Crafty Chefs.
If I am stuck for things to do with my children then Sophia’s Diary is certainly the place to look!
Like any business just starting up you need to get yourself out there and let people know who you are and what you are about. Upon discovering Sophia’s Diary we knew straight away that we would be able to reach a large part of our local customer base quickly and easily. We found Andrea helpful, approachable and a big source of encouragement; all valuable assets to anyone getting a new business going. Our connections to new and potential customers have grown significantly within just a short period of joining and we can safely say that being part of Sophia’s diary has given our business the perfect launch pad it needs.
James WhiteBeing part of Sophia’s diary makes me feel part of a team that are so willing to help and support me & my business. Andrea you have made such a great group of people and businesses come together, the support you give is so encouraging – thank you!
Ailsa O' SheaI joined the Sophia's Diary Membership back in Aug 2018 & can honestly say it’s been such a happy, friendly, working relationship. After having a discussion with Andrea on the phone i was a bit reluctant to join as in my time at Powerleague (19 years) I have worked with lots of companies to market my Business and have never seen much of an uplift. As we all know Social Media is a great tool and helps everyone in their business. In my first week I took a booking for a children's party which paid for year’s membership.
I am not the greatest at posting and should really do this a lot more frequently, but when I do I always get positive responses from the members on the page. Like anything you need to be able to measure the return on any investment you make and I am happy with the bookings I have taken so far in the five months I have been using the page. I will most
certainly renew my membership & I always recommend to friends and family to join the page to find out what's on local to Enfield. Andrea has been a great support and help to us, and we love when she comes to visit our club
I like how supportive the group is but also how focused you are on your next goal to improve Sophia’s Diary, you are full of ideas and keep things fresh…(like the magazine, award night, driving your likes and following)
Amy ThatcherAndrea is fantastic at what she does, connecting people and promoting our businesses. She has
helped TEDDY TASTIC grow so much
As a Business: As a new business member of Sophia's Diary (Sprint Printers & Stationers) I would like to give a huge thank you to Andrea and her team for having such a positive impact on our business in such a short space of time. Andrea has gone out of her way to promote our services and to make sure our products reach our target audience. We are a small family run independent business so having support from the local community is vital for our survival. In recent times shopping trends have shown a change in consumer habits which has seen the retail high street declining, we have embraced the online world via our own website along with Amazon and Ebay. Andrea has been key in highlighting the specialist areas of our business on the Sophia's Diary platform. Andrea constantly doing her best to help us to stand out from our competitors and we are eternally grateful.
As a Mummy : As an Enfield parent of two small children I also use Sophia's Diary for my own needs. I booked my son's 5th birthday party with Faik at Wild Fangs through the Sophia's Diary Facebook group. I have also used other services and products on a regular basis and have just booked the Millfield Theatre production of Moana and her incredible friends after seeing Andrea's fabulous blog post. We have signed up both children to Pro Elite Football Academy too. Sophia's Diary is my go to for all things Enfield related. Thank you Andrea you are a true gem, I'm looking forward to seeing Sophia's Diary grow and flourish.
I LOVE the family feel and the support we all give each other …. You go above & beyond Andrea, always thinking about us, connections and our exposure
Shereen AhmedMy name is Cengiz and I’m a new member of Sophia’s diary. I chose Sophia’s diary because I’m a parent and I know at times we have to put a little thought in, where we can go and what can we do with the children? We are always looking for those child friendly places where you can go to. When I met Andrea and she explained about who she is and what she does, it made perfect sense to become a member of Sophia’s diary. Andrea is very very helpful indeed and already has put me through to many of her connections, which I’m currently using. Thank you Andrea and look forward to doing business with you! All the best and thank you once again for all your support!
Cengiz CombatBeing a part of Sophias Diary for me has made me feel more confident in what I do by the help and support that i get for my business, being able to help others back and being involved with such lovely people and knowing we all support each other in what we do. It's a lovely business community which you make every one feel so welcome in!
EllieI love the recommendations! Plus how many amazing businesses I’ve had the opportunity to work with which I wouldn’t have had if I hadn’t joined!
