1. What To Expect From The Savvy Shopkeeper Retail Podcast
b'
This has been a long time coming!\\xa0 It\\u2019s been months since I blogged, but for good reason.\\xa0 I spent the past two months learning how to podcast, finding an editor, partnering with a sponsor, and creating \\u201call the things\\u201d to get ready for this launch.
Well, it\\u2019s finally here \\u2013 the Savvy Shopkeeper Retail Podcast!
My goal is to provide you with a weekly podcast that\\u2019s easily digestible, maybe 20 minutes or so, where I teach you one valuable tool or lesson about shopkeeping.
I have a long-running list of topics that shopkeepers have been asking me for and I\\u2019m ready to dive in \\u2013 I hope you are too!
Episode 1 covers the who, what, where, when, how and why of the Savvy Shopkeeper Retail Podcast.
It\\u2019s an introduction to me, the mission of Savvy Shopkeeper and what you can expect from the podcast.
I\\u2019ll be starting off this series with 12 episodes that I\\u2019m proud to say are sponsored by\\xa0Darice.\\xa0 If I\\u2019ve learned anything from partnering with Darice, it\\u2019s that they are just as committed to helping independent retailers as I am.
If you take a moment to listen to Darice\\u2019s sponsor ad during this episode, you\\u2019ll get a special discount code for your next order \\u2013 trust me, it\\u2019s worth it because they don\\u2019t offer this type of discount to anyone else \\u2013 it\\u2019s just for Savvy Shopkeeper!
Just like any other entrepreneurial journey, I\\u2019m sure I\\u2019ll learn a lot, make changes and improvements, depending on your needs\\u2026because this podcast is for YOU.
