In this dynamic season two opener, Stacie is joined by her sister, business partner, and fellow creative force, Angie Classen, to talk about all things business at Gingiber. The duo dives into what’s actually working in today’s economy for product-based art businesses. Sharing the strategic pivots they made during their Mother’s Day sale, Angie and Stacie reveal how they grew sales and profits—despite fewer transactions and a tricky retail climate. From discount fatigue to smarter ad spend, and why knowing your numbers might be the most creative move of all, this is a must-listen episode packed with tactical advice and heartfelt entrepreneurial truth.
