Startup of the year 2014: Boogie Bugs

My startup business has done well in the last 18 months, thanks to word of mouth.

We are fully booked most weekends, as every party booking acts as an advert. We are approached by parents asking for business cards at the end of our parties.

We no longer have to pay for unreliable marketing or advertising. Our unique selling point is that we are gender neutral as I was personally fed up of gender stereotypes being force-fed to our kids!

I love my business and am enjoying watching it grow.

Chrissie Beadle is the owner and entertainer at Boogie Bugs
