Better Together


This is a trying time for all of us.  We are inundated with bad news, fear, and uncertainty,  I cannot imagine what my partners who own brick and mortar businesses are feeling right now.  I do know what it is like to operate and own a business in which you are responsible for paying employees during a financial crisis. 
 
Although my current company is home-based, my first company opened in 2oo8 amidst the great recession. The financial climate had completely shifted during the time it took for me to secure my loan, build out my space and open the doors. With my husband’s knowledge of finance and real estate, I was well aware of the seriousness.

While this time is challenging in so many ways, the creative forward thinkers will be able to come up with unique and new ways to survive the coronavirus economy.

I sent these ideas to my wholesale accounts and I would like to share them with you as well. If you own a salon/spa here are some quick ideas of how you can continue to drive sales while we are social distancing.
