Today with Jennifer Looney

Welcome to Window Treatments for Profit! Starting a window treatment business takes time, dedication, and strategy. But imagine moving to a different state and starting that whole process all over again after decades in business. My guest today, Jennifer Looney of JLS Designs, did just that. She recently got married and moved from Nashville to Atlanta, and has managed to keep JLS Designs thriving during the process.

The Breakdown:

[5:00] Jennifer talks about her start in the industry and her transition into another state.

[18:28] LuAnn and Jennifer discuss the importance of community in business.
[23:47] Jennifer talks about how to cultivate relationships with designers.
[30:32] Jennifer shares why she has chosen deliberately to remain a solo business.

The Ah-Ha Moments

“We take it for granted when we grow up in the area that we do business in. We know where the areas and towns are, what would be great for custom window treatments and why.” -LuAnn Nigara

“We have to live in absolute clarity of how much easier we make designer’s lives. When you get that it becomes easier to ‘pitch’ yourself.” -LuAnn Nigara

“I want to be an answer to a problem. I want to solve the headache for designers. I want to be an expert for you. I want you to have beautiful window treatments to go along with the beautiful designs that you’re doing.” -Jennifer Looney
