ANNA GOLOVYRINA OMG BIKINIS; Different Stone Placings/Designs, Affordability, A Suit Maker's Day-Presentation Series Ep 4

7/26/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
For the final part of the series, Celeste interviews founder of OMG Bikinis and figure competitor, Anna Golovyrina. Anna talks about how, as a competitor herself, she can relate to the ups and downs other competitors have experienced during the pandemic and having shows cancelled. As her business has grown, she has found less and less time for herself to prep. She wants her customers to get great quality at an affordable price, because bodybuilding is such an expensive sport. OMG bikinis offers swimwear, posing suits, competition bikinis, and an affordable line of competition suits. Anna started making suits because of a bad experience with her first competition suit. Because of this she strives to be transparent with her customers about the suits they are buying. You won’t want to miss her story!
​
Topics covered include:

-Moving from Figure to Wellness
-Quality level of different crystals
-Shopping for the right suit
-How different crystal combinations can affect the color of the suit
-Why transparency is so important to her company
-Life as a suit maker
-Taking risks and trying new designs
-The value of doing something you love
-How the pandemic affected her business choices
-The value of great customer service
-Knowing the specifications of your league
