The tools and supplies behind running a Pinterest strategy and email marketing business (Lavender Pin Co) - what actually helps you plan, design, and schedule pins and content for clients without burning your whole day.
Good lighting is half the battle on pin graphics and reels - this fixes bad lighting without a full studio setup
Ring Light Tripod
Digital calendars are great until your app crashes mid-brainstorm - I still map out pin themes and client content on paper first
Undated Daily Content Planner Notebook
Client work means a lot of typing and clicking - a decent wireless set beats fighting with a laptop trackpad all day
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo
Running two businesses off a laptop screen for years will wreck your neck - wish I had gotten one of these sooner
Laptop Stand For Desk
Client calls while folding laundry or answering another kid's question is the reality - a headset that actually sounds clear matters more than people think
Headphones For Phone Calls
Cloud storage is great until the wifi is out or a client needs a file fast - keep a backup drive with all your brand assets and finished pins on it
Portable External SSD for Client File Backups
Client folders, package labels, cord organizing - once you start using this you find a reason to grab it almost every day
Label Maker
One less cord tangle on the desk and your phone is always charged when a client calls or messages
3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand
Design work means staring at a screen for hours planning pins - my eyes notice the difference by the end of the day
Blue Light Glasses
Sticky notes, pens, SD cards, business cards - keeping the small stuff contained saves you from digging through a junk drawer before every client meeting
Desk Drawer Organizer
Small thing but your wrist will thank you after a full day of dragging and clicking in a design program
Ergonomic Wrist Rest for Keyboard and Mouse
Simple but I still color-code pin ideas by client with these before anything goes into a real calendar
Sticky Notes for Content Planning
For filming a quick demo or Reel to show a client the pin idea in action - no need to hold your phone the whole time
Phone Stand For Recording
A clean background under your phone photos makes a huge difference on pin graphics - way cheaper than a real backdrop
Aesthetic Desk Mat for Flat-Lay Photos
Overhead room lighting is never the right color temp for design work - a good desk lamp fixes that fast
Adjustable LED Desk Lamp
Big enough to see the whole month of client content at a glance - erases clean when the schedule shifts.
