Hi there! I'm Andrea and I own Kei Collective in Phoenix, AZ. I run our shop with my business partners Stella and Skylar. We have a brick & mortar shop that features over 80 independent artists. Everyone works together as a collective to promote the shop and each other. It's like a fun little (weird) family! 

You can find us on all socials as @keicollective 

Looking forward to talking to everyone about our unique retail ups and downs!

Hello @keicollective lots of very fun items in your shop! Thanks for joining here and adding your info. It looks like everyone involved in your store has a lot of fun and truly enjoys themselves...that's one of the great things about having your own business, and being able to create an environment that is uniquely yours...THIS is what makes work and a job NOT feel like work/jobs and more like having a complete and wonderful life. Love this!

Hi, Andrea, I like the cause of your business and your website. 

[ginawood]

Hello my name is gina wood and i am the owner of Small Wonders Childrens Boutique in Wyckoff NJ.  Our website is www.smallwondersnj.com    

Looking to learn from all of you and hoping to contribute. 

We opened the store 2 years ago this March in the middle of the pandemic (yes crazy right LOL), good news we survived, bad news we are still struggling, and I have had to go back to a corporate job to supplement my income

Hi Gina - cute website! Have you thought about putting your merch on eBay?  I have friends (husband/wife) both quit their FT corporate jobs at Pepsi last year and only resell!!!!  $$$ If I weren't doing what I'm trying to do, I might be doing what they're doing.  Seriously.  I also had a former co-worker who sold her 5 year old son's used shoes + clothing on Mercari and made more than she even paid for them.  I am still scratching my head wondering how people are so impulsive that they don't research what they're buying but it's good for my friends.  Just sharing as I am SO feeling your pain about having to go back into a corporate job.  Have an interview tomorrow in fact. My dog collar business is not even 3 months old so I just have to give it time but you already have great stuff... go for it! Good Luck! - Rona @ Do Good Collar Co

Can I ask why both Square and Esty? I have a website with Square but have had friends telling me to also do Etsy (without any reason other than they know that name...which may be a good reason). With both, do you advertise the same items on both or have separate inventory for each? Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Hi Guys,

My name is Nina and I am the owner of Indica Dreams, a vegan wellness CBD brand. We sell everything from oils, flower, gummies, bath bombs, topicals, and even a new line of hemp-infused vegan & soy crystal affirmation candles. I also run own another company by the name of Lowman Glass at specializes in colored glass tincture bottles, mostly for wholesale, and lastly, the soon-to-be-launched Candelabra, which is a luxury soy vegan candle line. All of my businesses are 100% e-commerce-based. Looking forward to chatting with you guys.

P.S. for those of you who own meta-physical shops we will definitely check you out as we are always on the lookout for ethically-sourced crystals for our candles & bath bombs.

[prickly]

Hi Nina, fellow CBD brand here.  Love your branding and boxes. Would you mind sharing your packaging supplier? I see you have pet products coming soon. If you still need a supplier, our dog biscuits are a best seller 😉 

[Indicadreamsllc]

Hey There, nice to connect with you here. The company that prints our packaging is called The Customized Packaging, but they just print, we don't use them for design, that is done elsewhere.

I'd love some samples of your biscuits.  I have some team members getting ready to test out the pet products on their pooches, and it would be great to include these. Are these biscuits "clean" and/or vegan? You can reach me directly at nina@indicadreams.com. Lets chat more about this.

[Spice45]

Hi, I like your website and will be sharing with family and friends.

Hi I am Kerry. I am super bran new to starting my own little business in Baytown, TX. I'm teaching myself as I go, I have sold a few items by word of mouth online and I'm on the waiting list for a couple of local Farmer's Markets to try to sell in person. I draw Bible verses and a coffee mug weekly and create products from the digital images of the chalkboard such as bookmarks, magnets, and earrings. Nice to meet everyone and thank you Elisabeth for the invite. Here is my website: https://kerrys-coffee-designs.square.site/

[NEPennants]

Hello. My name is Angel from Connecticut..

Thank you for the invite. I just joined Square but set up my website via Weebly. Not sure how to integrate my site with Square yet,

I sell Blank Felt Pennants via my website and Etsy. I started selling pennants in 2020 just before the pandemic hit. Was slow at first, of course with the shut down, but, I still obtained orders with the anticipation of events starting back up. Business is OK.

Been with Square for over a month. Seems like a very good platform... so far.

If you would like to visit my website and Etsy site, you can view them at the following. Let me know what you think. I welcome critics.

One thing though... Not sure how the site looks on Iphones.

Again.. Thanks for the invite!!
