[LS137] BALANCE in Business and Self Promotion

1 hour 11 minutes

Opening up a shop is exciting—but also a huge project. Alex talks about setting up the space, furnishing it, and getting Square up and running for sales… which led to buying some creepy mannequins for the shop. In this Q&A episode, the team also tackles power supply issues and the real challenge of promoting yourself as a small business owner—without feeling like a sleazy salesman. Where’s the balance between making money and keeping it genuine? Seamless designs. Acrylic signs. Creepy mannequin? If we weren’t all over the place, this wouldn’t be a brand new episode of the Laser Source Podcast! Coming straight to your ears with the latest on power supply failures and some serious discussion about how to best promote yourself without being a turn off to potential customers. All this and more today on the Laser Source Podcast!
