The last few months have been unconventional and not easy for all of us, and in light of the situation B144 is launching a new and special project designed to pardon small business owners across the country.

Each time we will bring you here the story of another business, so that you can get to know it and maybe even support it.

And this time we are talking to Ayelet Elimelech from "Ayelet's House", a home design gallery.

Business name:

Ayelet's house

Year of establishment:

"I do not remember an exact year, but more than 20 years ago"

Tell us about your business:

"We set it up in our house and sold my paintings, until we saw that the whole design issue was progressing and people who would come to buy the paintings wanted more things for the house. Next, we opened our whole house so the business was called 'Ayelet's house'. From abroad, with the touch that suited our style and I went to study interior design and architecture, so that I would have a more formal background.

After about five years we already had a non-stop influx into the house, so we decided it was time to open a store.

We moved to our current location, in the Star Center in Ashdod, 12 years ago, when the complex opened.

Today we have customers who are like family.

On weekdays, whoever comes to the store sees how everyone hugs everyone and knows each other.

There is a very fun atmosphere and a special shopping experience, because I, my husband Itzik and our facts have been there for years.

We all do the work with love and fun and are very much towards the customers, whom I have known for years.

There are even some who used to come with the small children, and today the children already come on their own to furnish their apartments, a second generation of customers.

Personally, I no longer paint today, but I constantly travel to choose special pictures and other things, which can not be found elsewhere.

We always import small quantities, so that there is always a turnover and it will be interesting to enter the store.

At the moment, in addition to paintings, you can also find armchairs, living room tables, decorative utensils, sculptures, a variety of candles and scent diffusers, flower pots, flower pots, seating areas, lamps.

Everything from everything. "

How Does B144 Help Promote Your Business?

"Those who live in Ashdod know where to find us, but we have a lot of customers who come from outside the city and for them it is excellent. It helps people who want to get to our business, because the phone, address and description of the business appear on our page."

How else are you promoting yourself digitally?

"We have Instagram and Facebook pages, where sometimes we also do sponsored content. Following the Corona we are considering opening a sales site as well."

Pargani for another business:

"In Gan Yavne there are two women, Alona Trisker and Naomi Kosashvili, each of whom has a catering business and I know that this period was difficult for them as well, and they still made deliveries to homes and everything possible. "Food, design, presence, caring, and they also compliment each other, something I really like about people."

How has the corona affected your business?

"There were months when we did not work at all. For example now, from December we are not open and beyond the economic level, it is hard at heart because you do not see other people every day and I just miss it. No one is financially easy at the moment, but I am also a very sensitive person and this situation "I'm sad. I miss getting up in the morning, getting dressed, coming to the business and meeting the customers."

What tip do you have for other business owners?

"Both I and my husband are very optimistic and always say that next month will be more work. So I suggest everyone take with love even the less good things that are happening right now, because as Scarlett O'Hara said - 'After all, tomorrow will be a new day'."

How do you envision your business in 5 years?

"Honestly, I would not want him to be different from what he is today. I have no ambitions to grow up. It is good for us where it was before the Corona, or even between closures. I get up in the morning smiling, we are healthy, and we enjoy the work and the people around us."
