That\u2019s 31.7 million SMBs that make up 99.9% of businesses in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>We cannot imagine what small businesses go through to keep their companies afloat. And with a considerable amount of competition, how do they even stand out?<\/p>\n<p>While some brands do so by adapting to the changing trends, Ivette relies on the trusty formula of providing quality-made products and excellent customer experiences \u2014 which has immensely helped her sustain business growth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like what makes my business stand out is that I make time for my followers, I make time for my audience, my customers, and I answer anything, any questions that they have about tumblers, about glitter, about the business side. And I am able to reach an audience in English and Spanish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Unboxing More Opportunities With Custom Boxes<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30927\" src=\"https:\/\/uprinting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ivette.jpg\" alt=\"Ivette Moreno shows off her Maestra Creations custom boxes\" width=\"800\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uprinting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ivette.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.uprinting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ivette-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uprinting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ivette-768x603.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Creating memorable experiences for her customers motivates Ivette to ensure that every step of the way, her clients get a good sense of what her brand can offer: meaningful connections, learning opportunities, and\u2026 personalized packaging.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uprinting.com\/custom-boxes.html\">Custom boxes<\/a> complemented these experiences and opened more doors for her to reach a wider audience.
