Best of the Biz 2015

December 4, 2015

I’ve decided that is the last Biz Friday post of the year. As we wind down towards Christmas I’m getting more and more in a holiday mood, so the blog is going to be dedicated to all things fun and xmas for a while! So to wrap up Biz Friday for this year, I thought it would be good to round up the top 10 biz posts of 2015.

I also wanted to pick your brains on what you think of the biz posts in general. As you might have noticed the blog’s had some major overhauls this year, and I’ve ummed and ahhed about whether the biz posts still belong on the new-look blog. For now I’ve kept them because of the response from you guys, but I thought I’d put it to the vote – more biz in 2016, yay or nay?

I will keep them up as long as I feel that the Biz posts are helpful, but to be totally honest it’s hard to think of fresh words of wisdom each week (I’m clearly not all that wise!). However I know there are so many budding retailers and entrepreneurs out there, and it’s so great to connect with you and to know that there are other people with the same stresses, trials and tribulations of running a biz! It’s really just my spot to yabber on about everything retail – from online marketing to product design, VM styling and taking the plunge into the choppy waters of wholesale. Let me know in the comments whether you want more of the Biz, or maybe just every other week, or a totally different vibe on Friday altogether. This blog is for you guys after all, so all comments much appreciated!

Anyway, I digress. Without further ado these are the 10 most popular Biz Friday posts of 2015. The lessons I’ve learned, the mistakes I’ve made along the way (so you don’t have to) and the not always glam reality of running your own biz…
