This week I'm joined by Lyn, the founder behind Gympie Patchwork - a beautiful Queensland-based fabric store selling quilting fabrics, threads, haberdashery and sewing supplies both online and through a bricks and mortar store in Gympie.

Lyn shares her journey of buying and taking on the business two years ago and the reality of what it actually looks like to grow an established store with an online presence in today's ecommerce landscape. We talk honestly about the unexpected struggles that come with running a fabric and craft business online - from getting consistent traffic to converting browsers into buyers - and how we've been working together to support Gympie Patchwork's growth through Meta Ads and email marketing.

If you're a small Aussie retail or niche product store owner wondering what it looks like to take that next step with your online marketing, Lyn's story is going to resonate.
