With host retail coach Wendy Batten https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/ In This Episode: I’m sure you’ve all heard the phrase “work smarter, not harder”- possibly even from me during this podcast! How have you applied that in your retail business? Are you wondering how you can expand your business in new ways without reinventing the wheel? In this episode, I’m sharing ways you can build your retail business by optimizing revenue streams that work for you and your brand. In addition, this episode is FULL of specific examples of new revenue streams that fit into each area from subscriptions and memberships to ways to earn “other” income. How will you know if a new revenue stream is a good fit for your retail business? We’ll work through that too! I’ll share some questions you’ll want to ask yourself before diving headfirst into something new. It’s not about adding more to your plate, it’s about optimizing your business model. If you are ready to grow your business using some of the tools you already have in place, this episode is for you. Let’s dive in!
