As a small business owner during<br />

the pandemic, Rogers faced uncertainty<br />

and restrictions regarding her sales and<br />

products. Adjusting to the pandemic was<br />

tough, she said, but she credited a group<br />

of female entrepreneurs for helping her<br />

get through it.<br />

Five years ago, Rogers went to a<br />

conference in South Carolina called<br />

the Southern Sea, where she met other<br />

female business owners. This group met<br />

once a week via Zoom, and Rogers said<br />

she collaborated with the other women<br />

to incorporate her work into Southern<br />

magazines and articles, which resulted in<br />

a large consumer base in the South.<br />

Through Instagram, Pinterest,<br />

Facebook and email, Rogers connects<br />

with her customers in the South to keep<br />

them up to date with new and exclusive<br />

products, including her personalized<br />

napkin twillies.<br />

"My two little hashtag I always<br />

use are "#popitwithamonogram" and<br />

#elevatetheeveryday," Rogers said. "I<br />

think elevating the everyday really<br />

embodies so much of my personality and<br />

what I do."<br />

Rogers said she is hoping to continue<br />

to work with her friends in the South<br />

to grow her business and clientele, and<br />

wants to bring Poppy on a road trip<br />

there.<br />

"I love seeing how much my business<br />

has been growing and branching out,"<br />

Rogers said. "I have a lot of plans for The<br />

Preppy Stitch and am excited to see how<br />

it all plays out."<br />

Rogers encourages people to follow<br />

her on social media (@thepreppystitch)<br />

for updates and information about popups<br />

and products.<br />
