We had the good fortune of connecting with Yvette Hunter and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Yvette, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
I am not afraid to show up on social media as who I am . I do not try to be something I am not, but rather instead love being able to show the real people I’m grinding hard for V.Hunterlooks . I think the most important factor behind my success has to be to never give up. Never forget the vision and what you’re doing it for. There has been so many times where I doubted myself and just wanted to give up. Being able to stay on a certain path and always remind myself what is coming for me when i reach the end are the things that help me be successful. I absolutely love what I do, and am extremely passionate about my work and helping others. I truly treat each person as the individual they are and customize every single customize basket , decor & more ! I genuinely care about their client and learned during this pandemic that I’m the best version of myself when I am able to help others. I am always learning and evolving . The most important factor is having pure intentions, keeping God 1st while having a peace of mind. if you don’t feel it, don’t force it.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
“It makes me feel warm inside to put a smile on someone’s face, I’ve always been arts and craftsy. This takes arts and crafts to the next level. I do operates the business by myself. I offer customers the ability to customize their orders / baskets . “When the customer call me, I ask what their vision is, and also what the price point is,” BUDGET is important in order to provide enough content for the baskets the budget has to be reasonable . “The customer can customize a gift basket with me. It’s more personal than buying a basket premade from a store or a catalogue. For example, ‘If He /She likes chocolate, but he/ she allergic to nuts.’ I can give my client a chance to arrange what they want and what their needs are.. One challenge for me was learning to pack the gift baskets, bags and boxes properly, especially for shipping. However, I still enjoys the challenge.”I get excited making baskets,” she said. “It’s kind of like engineering. I have to make it sit up and make sure it doesn’t fall.. Though I do gift baskets and arrangements for individuals, I have been targeting corporate Realtors, offering “welcome home” arrangements and closing gifts; arrangements for medical centers wishing to gift their staffs; and hotels hosting large groups. I could do 300 customize gifts baskets for any event . Some of my most popular baskets include an the fishing basket, Barbie basket, & Bride to be . I can make any theme basket you want .
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
When my friends comes back to visit Atlanta, I would love to experience The Garden Room an enchanting garden bar & small plate dining experience. Afterward, we’d do a little shopping at my favorite accessory boutique, Modern Episode , Target , Tjmax , Publix and hit up a few of the Atlanta historical sites. Then we’d drive up to Marietta to do a little more shopping and possibly catch a Braves game at the Battery.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
All praise to God for exposing me to the truth, my mother the late Carolyn Paulk (R.I.P) keeping me focused on this pathway to success, eliminating the distractions out of my life & leading towards destiny. Also, My family and peers for the support and overflow of love..
