Jessica Sharp, owner of Ink & Cotton in Valdosta<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Jessica Sharp, age 28, recently joined a growing number of fellow millennials when she opened her own business. According to a recent report by America\u2019s Small Business Development Center, millennials represent one of the most entrepreneurial generations in U.S. history.<\/p>\n

Located in Valdosta, Ink & Cotton provides screen printing, embroidery, and customized promotional items. Sharp is confident in her leap of faith, even though she admits there have been some challenging times.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt sometimes feels like one step forward and two steps back when you\u2019re first getting started,\u201d she said, \u201cbut you have to keep pushing forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the ups and downs of starting a new business, Sharp was excited to receive a financial boost when she won the 2018 Southwest Georgia Bank Business Plan Competition. As this year\u2019s winner, Sharp won $10,000, along with more than $20,000 of in-kind services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning the business plan competition is such an honor,\u201d Sharp said. \u201cThe money will help me grow the business and provide a greater impact on our community\u2019s economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharp, who opened Ink & Cotton in October 2017, said the business is more than customized promotional items. \u201cWe take a consultative approach to help our clients create a brand that promotes the true identity of their company or organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young Entrepreneur<\/strong><\/p>\n

With what she describes as an \u201centrepreneurial spirit,\u201d Sharp has been working toward opening her own business for several years.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I graduated from college, I have been planning on finding a way to best utilize my experience and education,\u201d said Sharp, who graduated from Valdosta State University (VSU) with a Bachelor in Fine Arts degree in 2013. \u201cI am doing something that I really enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

While working in the graphic design industry throughout high school and college, Sharp continued to hone her artistic skills.<\/p>\n

After graduating from VSU, Sharp landed a job with her alma mater in the creative design department, where she developed a variety of marketing materials including the university\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking at Valdosta State allowed me to not only gain valuable graphic design skills,\u201d she said, \u201cbut to also build a network of potential clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cGoing to both the SEEDS Center and the SBDC was essential in starting my business and winning the competition. I highly recommend any business, new or established, to utilize these services right here in Valdosta.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Community Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before opening Ink & Cotton, Sharp sought assistance from the SEEDS (Sowing Entrepreneur and Economic Development Success) Business Resource Center and the University of Georgia Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at VSU.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing to both the SEEDS Center and the SBDC was essential in starting my business and winning the competition,\u201d Sharpe said. \u201cI highly recommend any business, new or established, to utilize these services right here in Valdosta.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two of her champions were Betty Morgan, vice president for the SEEDS Center, and Walt Moore, a consultant at the SBDC.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetty Morgan provided statistics pertaining to the screen printing industry in our region, which helped me outline my potential business growth,\u201d Sharp said. \u201cSince I won the business plan competition, she has also helped Ink & Cotton by implementing promotions and advertisements.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having worked as a graphic designer at VSU for several years, Sharp was familiar with the SBDC but did not realize the magnitude of assistance they could provide.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not a numbers person,\u201d Sharp said. \u201cWalt Moore helped tremendously in putting together my cash flow projections and needs for starting capital. I couldn\u2019t have asked for a more supportive adviser every step of the way. He treats your business like it was his own and gives the best advice possible for every business situation that could arise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharp said writing the business plan helped her better define Ink & Cotton\u2019s overall business concept and realistically explore all options.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe business plan allowed me to put my ideas on paper,\u201d she said, \u201cand make a thoughtful and intentional guide for where I want my business to go in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team Effort <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sharp\u2019s professional experience has taught her that building a solid team is vital to the long-term success of Ink & Cotton.<\/p>\n

Serving as co-manager is Michael Schrader, Sharp\u2019s fianc\u00e9, who will also supervise the screen printing department.<\/p>\n

\u201cMichael has years of experience under his belt,\u201d Sharp said. \u201cHe has worked in both small print shops and larger companies. Having 10 years in the industry has helped him gain expert knowledge in the screen printing production process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christyn Challender, a graduate of VSU with a degree in business administration, will serve as the front-line manager.<\/p>\n

Using a model of individualization, where each customer is provided one-on-one support from the inception of the design to delivery of the highest-quality product, Sharp knows that having an experienced front-line manager is of paramount importance.<\/p>\n

\u201cChristyn brings more than 10 years of retail and management experience,\u201d Sharp said. \u201cand she will fill additional jobs as the business continues to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharp said she is fortunate to have a knowledgeable and dedicated team, and together they are ready to tackle any job.<\/p>\n
