Customer Acquisition
Customer acquisition comes through walk-in retail and a strong social media presence via Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. The business philosophy emphasizes creating memorable experiences where staff know customers’ names, engage personally, and foster community connection rather than relying on impersonal online transactions. Customers show extremely high loyalty.
Team
The partner is a co-owner who works full-time; her daughter also works full-time. The owner works part-time evenings at the store and serves as the numbers and analytics person. Three to four part-time employees manage customer experience and engagement.
Owner's Role
Owner's role focuses on tracking transactions, average sale prices, and customer order sizes, while his partner provides the creative brand vision. Owners have a 50/50 split between them.
Reason for Selling
Since the business is doing really well, both owners are looking for an exit strategy since there is so much more room for continued growth.
