Jennerous Gifts, Inc. began in October of 2003 by me, owner Jenn R. Dolin Olsen. I hold two masters degrees - my MBA (Masters of Business Administration) and MNO (Masters of Nonprofit Organizations) both from Case Western Reserve University. I decided to create my own company after working in marketing, however, I still do marketing consulting and research on the side.
Coming from an extremely entrepreneurial family, it was in my blood to start my own company and I could not have done it without the support of my grandparents, parents, two brothers and my husband. I am forever grateful to them.
So why soaps? I had a desire to create a product that everyone could use, no matter what age or gender and I wanted to construct something beautiful, fun, adorable, creative, extraordinary and memorable. I thought long and hard about what we all had in common and came up with the notion that we all use soap. I read approximately 50 books on soap-making and taught myself how to make soaps.
