Rebranding my business

I started  BeautyQueens Beautys back in April 2019, and nothing really came off it. I made an Instagram account, had business cards made, and even tried to sell my dream catchers.  Sadly, in my business's lifespan, I only sold a total of about five dream catchers, which left a lot of stock. In January, I decided to try and rebrand my business; this post is what I have done so far to rebrand my business and what my next steps are. I started by removing all my old posts and photos. I saved the best images, made them into better-looking posts, and just put them straight onto the Facebook page. I spent about two hours editing the photos, thinking of the captions and tags to get the best coverage.

When the dream catcher is finished, I will be posting it on Tiktok to try and get more public attention on my creations as well as starting to list them online for sale through...
