10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! - The ups and downs of starting our own business


We've officially hit our 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY milestone of being open for business - it's so exciting.

We remember hitting the "publish" button so clearly on our Etsy Marketplace store for the first time 10 years ago. What was going to happen? Were we going to get any orders? How quickly? Were we prepared? It was a rush

But let's get real. It took three months for our first Etsy sale to come in. Three Months.

During this time we were building our e-commerce platform and got that up and running. We devoted full time hours to the business, working in a small garage, doing anything to create traffic and momentum for this gig we put our hearts into. We wrote daily blogs, and invested all our time in photography and building our Instagram platform (@anewalldecor). We just wanted people to love it as much as we did. 

Slowly (but surely) orders started to come in, and the momentum started to grow. Here is a simple time line of Anewall's evolution over the last 10 years. 

Years 1 & 2 - slow momentum and growth, mastering the manufacturing process and slowly getting more orders.

Years 3 & 4 - we needed to hire some extra hands to cut all the mural orders we were getting as we partnered with Anthropologie and Pottery Barn. 

Year 5 - we needed a larger office space and more equipment. 

Years 6, 7 & 8 - we expanded our design inventory and even tried out marketing some new products.

Years 9 & 10 - amazing years of growth both personally and professionally. 

Our families have grown. There are now five children between the two of us and our roles in the company have also changed over time as we balance our work and family lives. We have an amazing team of staff who handle all of our daily operations and they keep this business running efficiently and with so much heart. 

Here's what they had to say when we asked each of them how they felt about working here at Anewall: 

 BELINDA |  "Anewall is such a fun, creative, and inspiring place to work. I seriously love my job! We have the best work environment, coworkers, and bosses! Plus our wallpapers are so adorable." 

 

EMMA |  "At Anewall I am inspired everyday working alongside successful entrepreneurs. Working for a small women owned and run business is truly a dream come true. I love making our customers wallpaper dreams come true everyday with all of the unique designs that we offer." 

 

BROOKLYN |  "It’s incredible working for and being surrounded by such kind and passionate women, and seeing design dreams come true for our customers! To experience products by Anewall is to truly experience the hearts behind it all, Sydney & Richele." 

 

DANICA |  "I love helping bring people’s vision to life, always love seeing the after photos of custom projects. Also love our little office girl gang!"
---------------------
The past 10 years have been so amazing and we have lots of new exciting news coming this year as well. We genuinely thank each and every one of you for your support and orders throughout the years. It has meant the world. 
Please join us in celebrating our 10 year anniversary! All products are 20% off this July long weekend beginning tomorrow.

    The panic struck me like a thunderclap on an otherwise mundane Monday. After diligently depositing a total of $87,340 across three transactions, I realized with sinking dread that my attempts to withdraw the millions I had invested were futile. Instead of realizing substantial returns, I found myself ensnared in a web of demands for more money, each promise of wealth proving to be yet another ploy to drain me dry. It was a sobering moment—a stark realization that I had fallen victim to a fraudulent investment company. My story is one I feel compelled to share as a cautionary tale. The allure of quick and substantial returns clouded my judgment, blinding me to the glaring red flags of deceit. The company’s promises were too good to be true, and by the time I realized I had been duped, it was too late. They vanished into thin air, leaving me grappling with substantial financial losses and a profound sense of betrayal. The primary lesson I gleaned from this harrowing experience is that improbable events can indeed happen, and they happen far more frequently than we anticipate. From natural disasters to unexpected global events, the world is fraught with uncertainties. My ordeal with investment fraud served as a stark reminder that vigilance and due diligence are paramount in navigating the treacherous waters of financial markets. Ignoring the warning signs proved costly, but it also underscored the importance of learning from mistakes and sharing those lessons with others. It took me considerable time to come to terms with my predicament and muster the resolve to seek a solution. It was during this period of vulnerability and desperation that I discovered Cyber Tech Wizard. Recommended by a trusted source,  Cyber Tech Wizard   offered a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. Their reputation for expertise in recovering lost funds from fraudulent schemes gave me renewed determination to fight back against those who had exploited my trust.

Too often, victims of fraud resign themselves to their losses, believing there is no recourse. However, with the assistance of reputable entities like  Cyber Tech Wizard  , there is a pathway to justice and restitution.
