Today we’d like to introduce you to Emily Schum Terry.
Hi Emily, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My business partner, Ann Martin, and her sister Kris Hanaman, founded Get Organized in 2017 after helping a family member move, unpack & set up her new home. They had a knack for organizing and realized they had a small business in the making. I started working with Kris & Ann in 2018, and officially partnered with them in 2020. I is an extended family member by marriage. Get Organized has grown every year, and we have hired additional organizers to help us along. We were featured in The Scout Guide Park City Volume 3, and are set to be part of Volume 4. In 2022, Kris left Get Organized, as her own art business took off, and Ann & I took the reigns. We continue to grow our clientele and love our small business!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Covid. Like every small business, there was a period in time when we thought business might be over when Covid shut everything down. But then, after a few months of shutting down, the complete opposite happened. Business took off. People started looking inward at their homes and home offices, realizing they wanted to calm their own chaos. Our motto is Clear space, Clear mind….and that resonates with a lot of people, especially after Covid. People want their spaces to be functional and beautiful, but life often gets in the way. We help people go from overwhelmed to overjoyed – something people are really looking for after a hard and strange couple of years!
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We specialize in decluttering & purging, primary or vacation/rental home move-in & set-up, preparing homes for the market, and making spaces more efficient, functional, and beautiful! Kitchens, pantries, closets, garages, playrooms, bathrooms, junk drawers…you name it, we organize it. We work closely with our clients to create sustainable and custom-organizing solutions for each person or household. We don’t believe in one size fits all – this is a very personal process and we make sure our systems are client-specific.
We are proud Park City locals and we love being a part of this community, as small business owners, moms, and community members! We are passionate about our services and feel fortunate to do what we do.
Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
We follow along with other professional organizers and their amazing tips and tricks on social media – we love being a part of the collective community and pooling ideas and resources. Social media is a game changer for small businesses.
