  • I am sorry to hear that you are going through hard times with your business. Before I move out from LA few years ago, my ex-girlfriend had a small breakfast and brunch place and it went through hard times that she almost closed it down. What we did at the time to boost sales is the following and I hope this will help you with your shop.

    - We increased our presence on IG and tried to make more engaging posts directed at our target customers.

    - She listed on DoorDash and UberEats, so i guess in your case you can offer your products on Etsy or Amazon.

    - We reached out to some of the local micro-influencers to promote the business and it worked really well for her.

    - Try to engage with the community, for example do a charity event with donors to give winter clothes to the homeless as the winter is almost here.

    - have a calendar of national and local events and try to draw on your display or change the way it looks for every occasion, you’ve got very big holidays coming up soon.

    - maintain a list of your customers with a CRM you can use the one that is offered with Square or Odoo. send your customers emails before the holidays, tell them your special offers, give them coupons, and congratulate them on their birthdays.

    - develop a referral program this is the best thing for word of mouth marketing.

    I really hope this helps and i wish that your business gets back to making money. Local stores are the best thing for our communities and I would love to hear that you thrive again.
