The Render Podcast

In today’s episode on The Render Podcast, Cam is the guest! Yes, you read that right! Cam sat down with Karen for the GoodShuffle User Summit and talked about Pricing for Profitability in Your Business. Having been in the industry for a decade now, Cam has quite the background for how running your business can turn into success and that starts by making sure you are getting a profit from your pricing. 

We know that pricing to make money can feel stressful and we all want to make money, right? However, you cannot just throw a price tag on something and call it a day. Strategy is key to succeeding in pricing your products or services, and before you can even do that, you have to know what it is going to cost to run your business.

Here is a sneak peek of what this episode consists of:

[8:11] Learn & Understand Budgets for Inventory

In today’s episode of The Render Podcast, we are continuing the Finance Series and chatting about analytics, how to track those for your business, and your strategies to continue bringing business in. We are so excited to talk about this with you because we know how overwhelming this can be and we have some favorite software and processes we use that help us out greatly!

A quick reminder — analytics does not just tell you about your numbers in the business. It tells you the direction your business is heading toward and acts as a guide to what you should or could do next. We really want to make sure that you are looking at what you should be looking at, so we are excited to share that with you!

The Render Podcast — Cash Flow Strategies for Small Businesses

Next week we will continue this Finance Series on The Render Podcast all about the finances of your business! Thank you for being here and we will see you next week!

2023 Pantone color of the year — who else is excited?! Hi friends, welcome to the New Year, and today's episode about the Pantone color of the year, Viva Magenta (#18-1750). Before we dive into today’s episode, you may be asking yourself, What is Pantone?  By definition, “Pantone is the universal language of color that enables color-critical decisions through every stage of the workflow for brands and manufacturers. Finally, designers can refer to colors by more than just generalized adjectives.”

Considering all of this, in today’s episode you are going to learn all about Viva Magenta, how you can work this color into your designs if you are in the wedding industry, and how you can imagine new ideas with what we may consider an atypical color.

Here is a sneak peek of what this episode consists of:
