Today we’d like to introduce you to Kayla Tavor
Kayla, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
In the bustling city of Houston, amidst the vibrant neighborhoods and lively streets, there lived a former kindergarten teacher from Chicago named Kayla. For twelve years, Kayla had poured her heart and soul into shaping young minds, but she felt the call of something new tugging at her spirit.
After relocating to Houston, Kayla found herself inspired by a simple yet powerful idea: why settle for generic party favors when you could offer something truly special and personalized? It was during one particular afternoon, as she watched her bonus children sift through their birthday party goodie bags filled with what they jokingly referred to as “junk,” that the spark of inspiration ignited within her.
“Why can’t they get something useful? Something they can cherish beyond the party?” Kayla mused aloud. And just like that, The Goodie Bag Co. was born.
With her background in education and a heart full of creativity, Kayla set out to revolutionize the world of party favors. She envisioned a company that would not only offer personalized gifts and party favors for birthdays of all ages; but also cater to weddings, special events, and every celebration in between.
Every order from The Goodie Bag Co. is a labor of love, meticulously designed and curated personally for each client and their guests. Kayla pours her passion into every single detail, from hand-selecting the finest materials to crafting unique and thoughtful designs that leave a lasting impression.
As word of Kayla’s personalized party favors spreads throughout Houston, The Goodie Bag Co. is on its way to becoming a go-to destination for those seeking something extra special for their celebrations. Whether it’s custom-made wedding weekend accessories or charming birthday favors that sparkle with personality; Kayla and her team go above and beyond to ensure that every customer feels valued and appreciated.
And so, with dedication, creativity, and a dash of kindergarten teacher magic, Kayla’s leap of faith is blossoming into a thriving business that brings joy and delight to countless celebrations across the country. For Kayla, The Goodie Bag Co. is more than just a business venture – it is a testament to the power of following your heart and sharing your unique gifts with the world.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
So far, I feel lucky to say that it has been a pretty smooth road getting here. I am still working hard to scale the business and to reach more families and different areas throughout Houston. Some of the struggles have definitely been on the business side of things – whereas a previous Kindergarten teacher, I know very little about.
As you know, we’re big fans of The Goodie Bag Co.. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
The Goodie Bag Co. is a local shop owned by a bonus mom of 3 children who wants to take gifting and party favors to the next level. Working with Kayla is extremely easy – she’s just an email, text, or phone call away to discuss all the things you would want or need. We specialize in personalized gifts and party favors for all ages. Kids birthday party favors are definitely what keeps us the busiest but we always have at least two-three wedding welcome bags on our schedule as well. We are most proud of our ability to stay busy, create beautiful products that recipients love, and work with our clients to create the image they have in their minds. We offer gift wrapping services as well.
Are there any important lessons you’ve learned that you can share with us?
The most important lesson that I’ve learned along my journey, thus far, is to stay true to who you are. A lot of people will try and come in and have you change things about your brand or your company – but staying true to who you are and what you believe in will always be the key to success. Also to remember that not everyone is meant to be your customer. Some people won’t want to spend your prices, that doesn’t mean they are too high – it just means that maybe they aren’t the customer for you. However, there WILL be plenty of people who are meant to be your customer and those are the projects we need to focus on and shine through.
