We offer a $10 credit/gift card to someone at the end of the week if they post a picture in our group wearing our items! We only pick one winner every week.

They know that I randomly add credits to accounts for sharing photos! Usually every other time someone posts a picture in their outfit in my group I’ll add a $5 credit to their account

I have a monthly “Share Your Pic” contest where multiple people can win $10 shop credit. I usually do one winner for every 10 photos shared. I have anywhere between 40-70 photos shared in my group per month.

r u o y d n i h e b y e r o m t a S n s s e n i bus Rowdy Maui = Texas Tropical 😊 We wanted something to reflect our southern roots but also our love of all things coastal and tropical, as we are located in a little beach town on the Texas gulf coast! Had it since ‘06 and never looked back.

we transitioned from LLR to doing our own thing so I already had a small community built and they know how much I love coffee, and since we have 3 kids and are a blended family, we always have something going on so we just kinda thought-“a lot of chaos... ahhh LatteChaos sounds good”.

My name comes from the parable of the mustard seed and the story of zacchaeus in the sycamore tree and the idea that at the intersection of faith, courage and a desire to see Jesus fully, is where we find our best life..

Interview with Bethany from Hello Belle Boutique

When did you start your boutique? I started my boutique in 2014. When did you start making profit? It wasn’t until the third year that I actually started seeing a profit. How many employees do you have? I currently have one employee and that is my wonderful sister-in-law. What social platform did you make your sale on? Facebook is the first platform that I used. What is typically your best sales month? September is always my best month because everyone loves fall where I live. Do you have live sales? Live sales are my bread and butter. We go live every Sunday at 8 pm. What is your bestselling holiday? December is my best month because everybody is Christmas shopping and buying cute outfits for those holidays get-togethers.

Do you have an app? I currently use Comment Sold. Do not have an app but there is one in the works and I can’t wait. Text marketing, email marketing, or both? Surprisingly, I actually do not do email marketing. However, I do text marketing through my comment sold app and it lets everyone know before I go live which is wonderful. What’s your favorite social platform? I love Instagram and I also love Facebook but I would have to say with my sales platform and my live videos Facebook by far has to be my favorite.

Marci Faith

I am fairly new, started out on my own, with limited funds, and all my income goes back into inventory. The one thing I am trying to save for is a barcode scanner and printer. I can't wait to barcode lol!

Kasey Cline

Honestly....groceries and bills! I still work other jobs and the one job that is salaried and I always depended on stopped the first shut down. I am getting less than 200 a week from unemployment (barely feeds a teenager) we opened back up and things were looking ok. Then shut back down again today! I would totally spend it on food and bills!

Desiree Reinhard

Marketing materials. New upgraded business cards, and package inserts. I’ve had an idea since covid started just haven’t had the funds to do it.

Mandy Arostegui

My first thought was inventory but after thinking about it, I really need more help with marketing!

KATRINA’S Katrina DiMiele has been a business owner, entrepreneur, and hustler her entire adult life. After undergoing a double mastectomy at the age of twenty-one she opened her first business, a hair salon only six months later. Her first foray into entrepreneurship was a wild success resulting in numerous awards and achievements including being voted “Best Hair Salon in NJ” by NJ Magazine. Facebook Live selling and online sales began only as a side hustle for her and a way to help satisfy her creativity, after at the age of thirty, she had a preventive hysterectomy for her BRCA-1 cancer gene diagnosis.

y r o St


It would soon though like anything else she sets her mind to, explode and take on a life of its own. The almost immediate success she experienced in the early days of the FB selling online space would soon become the catalyst for selling her salon and dedicating her time solely to that business. After over 4 years, millions of dollars made, and over four thousand hours of successfully selling live on Facebook she has become a mainstay and recognizable face to many.

HOW MANY EMAILS DO YOU SEND WEEKLY? We send emails once a day! shelley jack, shelley's shoppe

1 on Fridays, but I’m wanting to start sending at least 2-3! Grace Toelke, Glamour & Grace Boutique About 3 a week. I need a strategy though! theresa kelly, payton & Piper Boutique

2-3 a week. I 100% get more views on my website the days that I send out emails. I have also seen that some ppl read my emails a week or two weeks later and I am still getting a few sales based off of those promos. I definitely feel like people are still reading emails even if not 100% of the time. abby colbath, yaqar collective
