North Carolina Client: Yomaira Garcia
Creating Meaningful Keepsakes for Growing Families
Originally from Colombia, Yomaira Garcia built her business around two things that shaped her life: frequent relocation as a military spouse and her desire to give families a meaningful way to preserve memories. After having children of her own, she realized there were very few baby products that helped parents track milestones in a personal and unique way. This sparked the idea for ComoTu Enterprises, LLC, founded in Fayetteville, North Carolina in 2022.
ComoTu Enterprises offers a milestone blanket designed to capture a baby’s first twelve months. The product stands out for its dual measurement system, two original designs, and a memory kit that includes a wooden month ring, height marker, and information disc. Yomaira notes that the height tracking feature is especially unique, as it is not commonly found in similar products. Parents can also customize the blanket with their baby’s name, making it a keepsake that reflects each child’s story.
Connecting with Prospera for Strategic Support
Yomaira first learned about Prospera through a local Facebook group, where she came across a business seminar that aligned closely with her goals. At the time, she was seeking guidance to develop a business plan and strengthen the foundation of her new company, which led her to attend.
About a year later, after gaining experience selling on Amazon and Walmart, Yomaira reconnected with Prospera as she prepared to pursue access to capital for her business. Through personalized, one-on-one business consulting, she received support to optimize her business plan and navigate the application process. This guidance helped Yomaira move forward with confidence and gain clarity on her next steps.
A Business Focused on Growth and Visibility
Today, Yomaira is focused on expanding her online presence. With a new website in place, her goal is to increase traffic, grow her audience across multiple social media platforms, and shift most of her sales from external marketplaces to her own site. By strengthening her digital presence, she aims to build direct relationships with families who value meaningful, customizable products.
Words of Encouragement for Other Entrepreneurs
“I would tell them not to give up. Do not let the challenges or obstacles you face be the reason you stop. If you know what you want, do it and take whatever steps you need to take. It does not matter how big or small the next step may be, just take it.”
With determination, creativity, and the right support, Yomaira Garcia is helping families capture memories in a way that feels personal, intentional, and lasting.
