When Katie O’Neil, president of KT Steppers, began customizing the perfect place for your little to step up in the world — we don’t think she realized what a business it would become. So, we sat down with her and got all the details behind KT Steppers.
Not at all. It really never entered my mind until a year or so ago and was figuring out how to promote and market outside of my east coast network on a small budget. So, reached out to some celeb mom icons to promote too and so far we have been well received and loved. It has been a great honor and promotion for us.
My biggest challenge right now is figuring out how to ‘give up’ some responsibilities. As an owner and proud ‘Master of Multitasking’ I need to really delegate and look for economical and useful ways to pass on some ‘jobs’. It’s probably the hardest thing I am facing now, because this is my third baby and I do EVERYthing myself…. I know it’s more of a control thing, but I have realized if I want to continue on with the success path, I am going to need help and trust others I bring on with me.
Of course. I’m still trying to find that balance. Moms struggle with the desire to be a ‘stay at home mom’ or hold a successful career and whichever path they choose, there is always some ‘mom guilt’. The hardest job I’ve ever had is being a mom and my most favorite. My first priority will always be my family.
Believe in yourself and your product.
When Katie sent us one of her uber-cute step stools we immediately realized why it was such a unique & special item to have in your home. KT Steppers also makes the perfect baby shower or birthday gift — even Christmas too. These days it is hard to find that special something for little ones and this fills that void – it is special, thoughtful and best of all customized! What little doesn’t love seeing their name as they step-up to brush their teeth or help you cook. It is the perfect little stepper (not to mention just the right size!) & everyone should get one or give one!
Make sure you check out the newest stepper ($59) — the Kidskreate line is perfect for kids to be “kreative” and design their own stepper for any room in the house. Write & erase!
