Launching Your Online Store 1:1 with Michelle of blaksands

This one-on-one session is ideal for small business owners wanting to create an online website ( or help navigating the ins and outs of a current website ). 

In a world where in-person markets can be a struggle to guarantee a certain expectation of sales - having a website ( one that you are in full control over ) is an important piece of building your brand, having an online presence and the ability to make sales at any time of day.

Building your OWN website ( i.e. not using a platform like Etsy ) gives you full control over your vision and sales. It is a place that you OWN where you can build your community and retain your customers.

Her expertise lies in 5 years of running an online curated vintage store, in addition to 20 years of photography + marketing experience.
