🫣 “I could do that myself for cheaper.”🫣
And you absolutely can. But have you ever stopped to think about everything that goes into making it happen?
Running a small business is so much more than the final product you see on the day.
It’s the hours spent sourcing quality products, researching suppliers, comparing prices, planning quantities, preparing food, styling every detail and travelling to set up your event. It’s the time spent writing quotes, answering messages, planning menus, shopping, prepping, packing, loading the car and making sure everything comes together perfectly.
It’s the countless little things you don’t see. the admin after the kids go to bed, the late nights preparing orders, the early mornings sourcing fresh products, and the juggle of being a parent while trying to build something of your own.
And let’s not forget the cost of ingredients, packaging, equipment, fuel, insurance, business expenses and all the hours of labour that go into every single booking.
So yes, you might be able to recreate something similar yourself for less money. But what you’re often not accounting for is your own time, your effort, the experience required and everything that happens behind the scenes.
When you book a small business, you’re not just paying for the products. You’re paying for the planning, the preparation, the creativity, the convenience and the care that goes into making your event special.
At Crème de la Cart, every grazing table, cart and box is created with love, thought and countless hours of work behind the scenes. We want you to enjoy your event, spend time with your guests and leave the details to us. 🧀🍓🥂
So the next time you support a small business, remember there’s a real person, a family and a whole lot of hard work behind that price tag. 🤍
Thank you to everyone who values, books and supports what we do. It means more than you know.
