Recently, the company took part in its first live virtual wedding fair. Owner Emma O’Regan says: “My chat lasted six minutes where I included free gel nails for brides that make a booking with me. The live chat went so well with 1,800 views within several hours and counting.” After such success, the next step coming very soon to the business is a YouTube channel to share inspiration and top advice.
