In the last episode of our special Christmas in July Series, I’m going to talk about Social Media. This isn’t going to be like any social media training you’ve ever listened to before, largely because it’s not a “training” at all.
This is for the vendor who spends loads of time on social media trying to figure out what other people are doing so you can recreate it, when you could be creating new products to sell. This is for the vendor that is so worried about doing it right, that you aren’t doing it all. We’re going to reframe social media today and rip off the band-aid.
This is the third episode in our special Christmas in July Series, aimed towards getting your booth space ready for a profitable Fourth Quarter.
Today I want to talk to you about the physical space that is your booth. Creating displays that draw customers in, and keep them there so that they actually shop your products.
Welcome back to the second episode in our Christmas in July Series. Today I want to talk about Inventory Levels and where to start when it comes to increasing your inventory to generate more sales.
I'll be sharing some mistakes that I see happening over and over again in small retail businesses as well as some actionable steps you can take to generate more inventory, even on a budget.

Welcome to the first episode of my special Christmas in July series! If you’re spending time on the beach or by the lake and all of the Christmas talk in your social media feed is making your head spin, stay with me for just a minute.
When July hits and Q3 begins, retail professionals know that now is the time to make sure you are prepared for the Holidays. It is not at all unusual for Retail Shops and Craft Fair Businesses to bring in as much as 40-60% of their revenue in the 4th Quarter. So let’s make sure we are ready for it, so that we can maximize those seasonal profits, while still enjoying our own holiday schedules.

The Makers Chat Podcast has been rebranded! I’m getting back to it and The Booth Business Podcast is for small business owners who are selling their products through booth spaces inside brick and mortar retail collectives or antique malls.
In my first episode back I’m talking about the Four Ps of Retail & applying them to our Booth Businesses. As vendors we always look for tips and trick to help us sell, but at their core of things, booth malls are simply retail stores.
Join me to talk about Product, Price, Place and Promotion and how we use those elements to create successful booth businesses.

In today’s episode I want to talk about Pivoting in Business. It's easy to get discouraged when what you've always done in your business doesn't seem to be working anymore, but if there is anything that you can count on when running a small business, it's that things are always changing! So how do we know when it's time change things up, and where do we start making those adjustments? That's what today's episode is all about!
