Yes to this 100%. The self-discovery thing is so much more prevalent than I ever realized.

That’s awesome that business started off great for you but also just wanna say slow seasons are normal.

My main question is are you strictly in person retail or are you also online for e-commerce?

I see someone above suggested marketing, but depending on where you’re at financially and the numbers in your business, hiring an agency might be overkill (and tbh there’s a lot of bad ones).

Learning to create some marketing on your own would probably be your best course of action through social, email marketing, and getting a website setup for better sales conversions. Maybe even running an ad or two. It would help you get more repeat sales and create that more “autopilot” system — not to mention get things rolling again for Black Friday.

Happy to answer any questions, I hope that helps!
