🧠 Lessons Learned & Advice:

One of the key lessons I’ve learned is the importance of understanding the local market — products only thrive when they meet real consumer needs. I also realized how vital it is to protect your brand; thanks to the WIPO training, I now understand how to do that effectively.

My partner and I started with just 1,000 EGP from our personal savings. After generating some early profits, our first official step was to register the company — ensuring our operations were fully legal and ready to grow. From there, we invested in product development, local manufacturing, and a strong digital presence.

Advice to SMEs:
• Start with what you have, and grow step by step
• Make things official once revenue starts flowing
• Build networks, protect your brand, and focus on digital from the beginning

 

🔮 What’s Next?

In the next 6–12 months, we aim to launch Leeknty’s first product line in Egypt and grow brand awareness through social media and retail presence. We’ll focus on boosting sales via e-commerce and offline partnerships.
Plans include expanding into Arab markets through export deals and exhibitions, developing quarterly product lines — including skincare — and collaborating with influencers to build trust and engagement. We’re also enhancing our digital presence and customer support to ensure a seamless brand experience
