Meet Phoenix Entrepreneur: Gloria White, Founder of Page Petal

By LINDSAY FRICKS

There are few things I love more than watching friends follow their passions. I met Gloria White through real estate. We also live minutes away from each other in the most charming Lower Arcadia neighborhood. Last year she founded Page Petal, a handcrafted bookmarks company. As an avid reader, I absolutely adore these dainty bookmarks that just make you instantly smile.

Earlier this year Gloria announced that she’d be backing away from the real estate to pursue Page Petal full time and I couldn’t be more excited for her. In addition to sharing a bit more about this homegrown business owner, we are giving away a sweet collection of her handmade bookmarks along with my favorite read of the last year, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza. Head over to my Instagram @lindsayfricks to enter the giveaway and continue reading to learn a little bit more about my fellow crazy cat lady, bookwork and boss babe!

What’s your business? Who is your ideal customer or who do you serve?  Page Petal! We hand make flower-pressed bookmarks! If you enjoy reading, we’re probably up your alley.

What makes you and your business different?  We help you find your place! Plus we think handmade flower bookmarks are prettier than the dog-ear corner fold. Each Page Petal bookmark is crafted and delivered as an invitation of friendship and a memento to remind you of the beauty in life.

How can people support your business and get in contact with you?  Right now, we’re in Local Nomad and looking to partner with more local businesses. Our bookmarks make a great gift for book clubs, wedding/bridal favors, shower gifts, and more. You can purchase directly through our website, Instagram, or you can contact us at [email protected].

I hoped you enjoyed getting to know Gloria! If you know another local business that we should spotlight feel free drop a comment below!
