This week we talked to Shelly, founder of Go-Girl, a line of “on the go beauty products for the diva in all of us.” Shelly was raised in Los Angeles, was an event planner for 10 years and then left event planning to start Go-Girl. Go-Girl has been featured in dozens of fashion and beauty magazines and blogs. Check out Go-Girl’s store and follow Shelly on Twitter.

And just for CheapTweet readers, Shelly’s offered a discount code for 10% off! Use code ‘GOGIRL’ when making your purchase.

How did Go-Girl get started?

I started Go-Girl after I created the lint on the go sheets.  They became such a success I decided to create more problem solvers. These include products like the smudge-sponge that removes deodorant smudges from clothes, oil blotting sheets, doubled-sided apparel tape and lots more practical beauty items.

Where do you get your inspiration?

I have always had a creative niche to me, hence the event planning.  It really just hit me one day after pulling hair off my clothes… why doesn’t someone create lint sheets?

How do you market or promote your store?

Through blogs and magazines primarily. I am in contact with all the magazines’ editors and inform them of our latest products and remind them that I’m here. Each month it gets better as I get more editorial coverage.

How do you use Twitter to help with your business?

I make contact with lots of fashion and beauty blogs and that seems to have spread the word considerably.

Do you have any tips or advice for someone just getting started with her/his own business?

If you have an idea, just go for it.  No matter what the obstacles are, just do it at your own pace.  Don’t listen to negativity – just do it.
