Perfect Penny Marketing

General information

Why Perfect Penny?

Well the reason behind the name goes far beyond the naming of a business to attract potential customers. I wanted it to really mean something.

A little bit of history about me and my family; I am the youngest of 4 kids (2 big brothers and a big sister) and we were raised by our Mum, a single parent and full time social worker. My Mum’s name is Penny (ah ha I hear you say!) and she was born in 1954 (sorry for telling the world how old you are Mum!) and in 1954 the Royal Mint decided not to make any pennies as there were enough in circulation (although there are some theories of 1 or 2 being made and if you ever find one keep it, as it’s worth a fortune!).

I found this (the 1954 penny saga) out when I was making my Mum’s 60th (sorry again Mum) birthday scrap book. I wanted to collect all the coins from that year, I found all apart from the penny. So, the beginning of her scrap book said ‘In 1954 there was only one penny made, a very special penny, that was Penny Ellis’.

My Mum is my hero, she raised 4 kids on her own, never really complained about anything and was ALWAYS there for us through and hard times. She made it look easy, which I know it is not. I was a single parent for 6 years with just 1 child and knew how difficult that was, plus I had an amazing family and friends network – she had no one.

Anyway, the reason I called my business after my Mum is because I wanted to dedicate something big to her and (hopefully) show her how much I appreciate everything she has done for me and my siblings.

She is my Perfect Penny.
