Today we’d like to introduce you to Kimberly Bowman.
Kimberly Denise Bowman, an experienced creative and cultural enthusiast, and Charleston native is a lifelong advocate and champion for small business advancement, connecting members of the community through various activities, and youth rights & empowerment. She brings an unwavering sense of passion, and deliberate creativity to her leadership roles with Exquisite Enterprises Inc. and Exquisite Kids, equating to a combined 10 + years of community outreach and service, and entrepreneurship experience. She believes in living a life of your own design, as evidenced by her transition from a career in customer service, to running multiple small businesses in the Tri-County area, and consistently inserting herself into collaborative spaces to provide opportunities to underserved groups, communities, and professionals.
Kimberly’s personal vision and purpose fueled her decision to leave the comfort of a full-time job, to fully invest her time and energy into launching her businesses and pursuing her passions wholeheartedly. She hopes to continue leading the professional and creative communities of the Lowcountry into more spaces that increase access to resources and opportunities, and a regional expansion of both Exquisite Enterprises Inc. and Exquisite Kids to continue her work and legacy. Exquisite Enterprises Inc is a creative agency focused on empowering small businesses by arming them with the knowledge and resources they need to be successful. We narrow our focus to the areas that can make or break a small business: branding, marketing, and strategizing. Our goal is to help you develop a strong brand and presence for your small businesses, to increase productivity and results you can’t imagine. Anyone can start a business, but it’s the strategies in place that really make a difference.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
What weren’t my struggles? Ha-ha, I would say some of my biggest struggles were just an unfounded sense of needing to do everything. I tried so hard, in the beginning, to be all things to all people, when all I needed to do is master a few things and target my audience better. I was offering unnecessary services and products that just really confused myself and my community on who I was and what I was looking to accomplish. In addition to that, I, just like many others, made friends with some of the wrong professionals who just didn’t have my best interest in mind. I felt like I need to be known by everyone to feel like I was doing something, and all that did was put me in a position to be used and taken advantage of way too much. It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, but I honestly don’t regret my decision to pursue my dreams and passions.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
We are a creative agency focused on empowering small businesses by arming them with the knowledge and resources they need to be successful. We narrow our focus to the areas that can make or break a small business: branding, marketing, and strategizing. Our goal is to help you develop a strong brand and presence for your small businesses, to increase productivity and results you can’t imagine. Anyone can start a business, but it’s the strategies in place that really make a difference. We offer printing and graphic design services, small business strategizing, and book publishing coaching. Some of our most popular services are website design, graphic design, and small business strategizing. I’m most proud of the growth of my brand over the past eight years. I’ve come a long way professionally, especially being self-taught in these areas.
We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
I’m pretty much an open book, ha-ha. I don’t think there is much I could say that could surprise anyone. I’m unapologetically me. I try to be as authentic and genuine with everyone I come across, be it personal or professional.
