Reply SOON for Klaviyo & Shopify help for Black Friday! Hi Reader, 2025 has been a real roller coaster ride when it comes to tariffs. Now there's a new change that's going to be a big deal for smaller businesses that import any products or supplies. For years, the U.S. let packages under $800 in duty-free. Starting August 29, 2025, the US will end the de minimis exemption for all countries. That means every imported package, regardless of value, is now subject to tariffs, fees, and full...

There are times when you have to tread water while you recover and times when you can swim ahead to the next...

Please get in touch by August to prepare your shop for Black Friday! Hi Reader, I hope your summer is going well! My husband, Nigel, and I are getting better at sea kayaking, and we've had some wonderful times in our beautiful backyard (the Puget Sound and San Juan islands). A harbor seal came over and booped my kayak with her nose last time! Anyway, you've probably noticed that it is challenging to balance relaxation and joy with running a business, parenting or caring for aging parents (if...

⭐️ Get our pricing to improve your online presence ⭐️ Hi Reader, Today we’re talking about how to protect your business from competitors and copycats. We receive web design inquiries from over 50 businesses every month, most of them trying to figure out how to make their business work and sell more products.
