OUR VERY FIRST RETAIL ROUND UP WITH NATHAN WALDON, BARBARA MOONEY, AND SARA VILLARI

Welcome to our very first retail round up! This one features Barbara Mooney from Daisy’s Mercantile, Sara Villari from Occasionette, and Nathan Waldon from Nathan & Co. As retailers, we all have countless questions to ask our fellow retailers, and here, each guest gets the chance to pick the others’ brains.

Barbara kicks things off with an update on her classroom and what it looks like to take a class at her store. Sara fills everyone in on her move to a newer, bigger location and her plans for design and renovations. Nathan shares his updates from his cabin Airbnb in Sonoma County, California. He’s also in the top 10% of Airbnb hosts on the platform, worldwide!

The group talks about posting on social media and shares their stats, techniques, and some tips and tricks. Each member of the group shares how they plan for shows and the upcoming holiday season. They also share their thoughts on exit planning and retirement, what the future holds for their businesses, words of wisdom for hiring a manager, and open-to-buy systems and programs.
