As a business owner, you can control many parts of how your customers interact with you if you ask them for feedback. This includes how happy they are, how loyal they are to your brand, the quality of your products and services, and how quickly they leave. Godson Umeh is one businessman that has cracked this code and used it to the advantage of his business.
Godson Umeh is a 27-year-old British Nigerian brought up in Reading. He owns a luxury jewelry label and a brand that focuses on making one-of-a-kind pieces. He has established a new standard for the business world. Even by today’s lofty standards, his one-of-a-kind jewelry creations are the height of extravagance.
After school, before he became the successful businessman he is today, Godson used to sell sneakers. It didn’t take long for him to realize that he was flourishing and that business was booming when it came to selling sneakers. To step it up a notch, Godson decided to force himself to interact with others. During these conversations, he became familiar with his customers. His interest in fashion grew over time.
Over time, he saw how important it was to get to know customers and meet their specific needs. These customers didn’t want the same things everyone else had and weren’t getting what they wanted from anyone. That’s why he launched a concierge service for an exclusive clientele. In a nutshell, he swiveled around and examined the whole thing from the client’s perspective, and that’s when he realized he was competent. He realized that by specializing in high-end custom jewelry, he could give each of his customers the best service possible. It’s because of this that he stands out from the crowd.
Godson’s loyal customer base has always been a driving force in his success. Offering an illustration of how his clients inspire him, he stated, “My customers have and will continue to be my greatest source of inspiration. Meek Mill, for instance, discovered a cartoon cactus plant puffing weed. He hoped to find one made of precious stones. So I made it.”
Godson’s winning mentality was just as important as his excellent team. He said, “You must believe in yourself, even before anyone else does. I knew I was an artist, and I knew I had to do this.” The rockstar designer has made a name for himself and proved his worth in the industry. That is why celebrities like Lil Mosey, Davido, Meek Mill, Travmbb, Krept and Konan, Zlatan Ibile, and Football player Sterling, among others, trust him to bling them up in the finest pieces.
As an entrepreneur with lofty goals, Godson has been working on including another brainchild in his collection, Watches by Godson. Like his brand tagline says, Godson does it better! It’s unlike anything else that’s ever been done before in the industry. So fashion lovers with exquisite and top-notch tastes should get ready to add a unique piece to their jewelry collection.
Although many of Godson’s clients are in the United States, his London store is still quite busy. Considering the demand for Godson products in America, he has decided to open his own shop in New York. This is to provide locals with what he calls “the Godson retail experience,” or the chance to buy Godson products from an American retailer. Godson is thrilled with the project and can’t wait to show the world what he’s been working on.
Of course, the industry didn’t see Godson coming, but here he is, taking up so much space and creating a legacy. His brand would be a must-have luxury fashion item in years to come. So watch out for Godson; he has come to stay because Godson does it better. If you know, you know. Godson Umeh is on Instagram as @godsonumeh; follow him to see some of his creations.
