“You are rolling the dice no matter what you do. It’s a gamble, but it’s worth it. I say roll the dice and see what you can do. The people at Painted Tree are so honest. They want you to be successful, and they are going to help you be successful.”
Seeking advice and inspiration from fellow Shop Owners can be a game changer. We had the opportunity to sit down with Susanne to talk about her story and how it led her to Painted Tree.
Susanne’s entrepreneurial journey began with a passion for health, nurtured by her work in a natural health clinic. Despite facing challenges after opening Eterna Health Food, she was able to continue her business by moving her space to Painted Tree. In this blog post, we identify three strategies that contributed to her accomplishments and can serve as a roadmap to your own success.
1. Be Passionate About Your Business
If you find yourself burning out, go back to your roots and renew your love for your products. Try reconnecting with the motivations that led you to begin your entrepreneurial journey. Shoppers can tell when you put in the extra effort to perfect your space or product.
2. Know Your Product
As Susanne stated in her interview, “It’s so important that not only do you have great products, but you know about what’s in your products.” Shoppers will want to know what they are buying and will expect you to have the knowledge to tell them. Staying updated on industry trends and sourcing quality products not only showcases your expertise but also builds trust with your shoppers. ct.
3. Get Social
Accessibility is key to fostering lasting connections with your shoppers. Find multiple avenues that allow your shoppers to stay in contact with you. Consider displaying your social media in your space or leaving business cards!
