Hidden Gems: Meet Karletta Jordan of Krowned Printing

Today we’d like to introduce you to Karletta Jordan.

Hi Karletta, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
The idea of my business started when my mate and I were ordering t-shirts for his football team. We realized it would be profitable for us to make the shirts ourselves but he passed away and we never got a chance to start the business. After his passing, my life changed dramatically and I was having a hard time coping. While trying to refocus and redefine myself, I ran the idea of me making t-shirts past my entrepreneurial sisters and a few friends and they pushed me to go for it. With their support and advice to bet on myself, I went for it. I came up with the name Krowned Printing because of my love for Crown Royal but of course the K is because of my name.

My business began in the basement of my home. It started in one small area and with the support of my family, friends and strangers it quickly took over the whole area. I had no plans to get into a brick and mortar but I had customers that saw it for me and all I ever said was that is not my plan but I’m willing to go where God leads me. One day I looked up and there I was signing a lease. Now my store has an actual location where, thanks to my family, I am able to offer not only my customization services but space for other entrepreneurs to sell their products and grow their business as well.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Thus far, it’s been a pretty smooth road and I think that’s because I not only do what I do because I enjoy it but also because I feel like I don’t try to force anything. I have allowed God to lead the way. I have truly come this far by Faith.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Krowned Printing offers customization printing services. Specializing in t-shirts and printing on most all apparel as well as drinkware, mask and bags. Customers are also able to provide their own apparel and other items to be customized.

Within Krowned Printing customers get to experience boutique style shopping courtesy of “Torri”, owner/operator of Quirkëe. There is also jewelry, snacks and other special treats offered by other entrepreneurs to help create a well-rounded shopping experience. Inventory changes regularly so there’s always something new & exciting to look forward to.

What I think and have heard that sets us apart from others is not only the positive atmosphere but the great customer service that we pride ourselves on offering. We do it not only because we enjoy what we do but because we put ourselves in the customer’s shoes and think about how we want to be treated as a customers. We know that without the customer, our businesses are nothing.

I want your readers to know that while Krowned Printing is definitely a custom print service where the motto is “Your Wish Is My Command & If You Think It I Print It”, it also offers a full shopping experience that is still growing and it is fueled by the smiles & memories that every creation helps make.

What matters most to you? Why?
What matters most to me is providing quality work and exceptional service because I want to be a part of putting a smile on people’s faces and knowing that I did something to make people feel good.
