Meet Jillian Oliver, the artist & owner of Gert & Co - a stationery and home goods line inspired by her home state of Maine.

Prior to Gert & Co, Jillian spent nearly a decade curating home furnishings brands and creating product for mass markets while working at a large e-commerce furniture company and later an area rug manufacturer.

In today’s episode of The Buyerside Chat Podcast, we’re chatting about her path from corporate to entrepreneur and how her ecommerce experience has lent itself to her current success.

The topics covered in this episode are:

- how she walked away from corporate to focus full time on her business

- removing a product from your line that is driving revenue but is not profitable or aligned with the future vision for your business (and how that makes you MORE successful)

- how to cultivate a point of view for your brand and say NO to trends if they don’t fit with your brand aesthetic of brand voice

- understanding your ecommerce analytics and simplifying your reporting to make profitable decisions

Enjoy the chat!

Connect with Jillian and check out her beautiful work!

Get ready to make the most of the next 6 weeks AND make your business even easier next year. Today is a special re-release of one of my favorite episodes from the vault - the pop up podcast from last holiday season that is no longer available to download!

In this episode, I walk you through exactly what I do post Black Friday Cyber Monday weekend (and recommend to my coaching clients). It’s broken down into into 3 parts -

• A hindsight: (or a recap) There are 5 buckets of this hindsight. You have your financials, your top performing styles, ecomm metrics, a quick marketing recap, and a recap of your operations & production.
• Your inventory- we will talk through a strategy for reorders, and what you can do to move existing inventory.
• And your website- I will go through what you need to un-do now that BF weekend is over, and what to check to make sure your website and emails are relevant and accurate.
