Need Aprons
            

The Pickens County Chamber of Commerce would like to welcome Need Aprons, Inc. as a member.  Michelle Davenport, President of Need Aprons Inc, has been a WAHM (Work at Home Mom) for about 3 years and tells a very interesting story about how that came about:

“I earned college degree in Computer Information Systems and worked for over 10 years climbing my way up the corporate ladder to be one of the two top level IS executives in the company.  It wasn’t very long after I finished my degree that I out grew the company and their technology.  I was basically the “Maytag Man”, hanging out until something broke – I was bored!  During that time I had always piddled around with selling on eBay.  So I began working harder at building my eBay presence and finally against everyone telling me I was nuts, I followed my dream of being a Work at Home Mom.  I continued selling on eBay for a year and realized there just wasn’t enough income coming in so I set out to find part time employment in the computer industry.

I was lucky enough to land an interview with an apron manufacturer.  We talked about everything but the job I was actually interviewing for.  We got on the subject of eBay and he asked if I would like to take a box of aprons and try them on eBay.  I being an avid eBay seller for so many years, knew that aprons would be a hit!  After a few weeks of analyzing the market and the need I was hooked on Aprons!  In February 2006 NeedAprons.com was born!  Need Aprons, Inc. was a success with clients that now include Walt Disney MGM, Bourjois Cosmetics in Paris, Dollywood, Neiman Marcus and recently the “My Name is Earl” Show! How cool is that!!

Being a work at home mom I have gotten more into the art of home making, the cooking, cleaning, nurturing etc.  Although my professional aprons do so well, I prefer the more girly girl look of Retro Aprons and gloves when I’m working around the house.  So we recently created our designer line of Professional Retro Aprons.  To learn more visit NeedAprons.com or to hear about my new line of aprons call me, Michelle Davenport 770-755-1606.”
