Are you ready for a 2018 Social Media Challenge?!

I’ve been listening. If you aren’t part of the Savvy Shopkeepers Facebook Group then you may not know it’s a safe and fun space for women business owners to ask questions and chat about owning and marketing a shop – brick & mortar or online. Being a woman and owning a shop are two prerequisites. 🙂…

My name is Kathy Cruz! I’m a fellow retail business owner and Retail Coach. My journey into retail started in 2013 when I launched a creative DIY blog with my sister. We grew from a blog to a brick and mortar home decor store in 2 years.

During this time, I took my deep passion for learning all-things-retail and launched a second blog, Savvy Shopkeeper so I could help other retailers just like me.

The Savvy Shopkeeper blog has also taken a journey. From a blog to a podcast and an online Academy just for retailers.

I’m on a mission to help independent retail business owners work less, profit more and grow! I’m glad you’re here and hope you find the information I share helpful.

Bonus Episode: Updates on my own store expansion and more! - Savvy Shopkeeper Retail Podcast

I hinted at this a couple weeks ago but I'm currently experiencing a "season" in business, my own store is expanding! Needless to say, a store expansion is a BIG deal and has required quite a bit of my time. This means some things had to get pushed down on my priority list because our Grand Reopening became THE priority. In episode 120, I shared that the store I co-own with my sister was expanding. In this bonus episode, I thought I'd share some quick updates. Updates about expanding, the retreat, and the Master Shopkeepers application which is opening up soon!
