SoSuMe’s in the money

-

Suzanne Jackson has a great deal to pout about this week.

She has learned she can splash out a bit extra on her summer wedding to fiance Dylan O’Connor thanks to her shrewd business sense.

One of Suzanne’s many companies just posted profits of nearly a quarter of a million euro for a year. And this comes after last week’s VIP Style Awards, when she was voted Ireland’s Most Stylish Woman. She spoke there about quitting her dead-end job and starting her blog SoSuMe.

Suzanne’s make-up palettes and eyelashes have also proved to be a huge earner, and next week she is to launch a new range of lashes called So subysuz anne jackson.

So after a whirlwind few years, Suzanne, 31, is sitting pretty on a growing cash pile. She is director of SanFran Limited, along with millionair­e businessma­n Fran O’Gorman of distributi­on company Sundrelle. The pair set up the company in October 2015 and the accounts up to September 2016 show they have raked in profits of €225,097.

SanFran is the vehicle Suzanne uses to sell her make-up palettes, eyelashes and other branded beauty products. And her company SoSueMe also boasts a healthy balance sheet. As we previously revealed, it has a cash pile of €311,553, up from €34,781 the previous year.

After creditors and tax have been factored in, she has just over a quarter of a million euro in her SoSueMe accounts.

The recent saturation of the blogospher­e has generated fierce competitio­n. But keeping her stilettocl­ad feet one step ahead of those nipping at her heels, Suzanne has now establishe­d herself as brand in her own right as the selfmade queen of beauty and style blogs.
