how to go on vacation and still make sales
You know how that Coco Chanel quote goes, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” Well, think of that when you're out sourcing.
Let’s take a vacation! Here’s my strategy for a stress-free break from your online shop (without sacrificing sales!)
and I’m obsessed with all things vintage! So much so, that in addition to having my own online vintage shop (I can’t keep it all!), I choose to spend my time empowering fellow vintage entrepreneurs to success through my super supportive private community, one-on-one coaching, and self-paced courses and workbooks.
I currently run online stores on Etsy and Thrilling and you can occasionally find me slinging goodies at a pop-up or two in the New England area. My little family and I (husband and 6 year old son) love to spend Saturdays on the local yard sale and thrift store circuit chasing down treasures, and I love that they're by my side as we live a secondhand way of life.
Growing up as a Gen X’er in New England, I have an eclectic and nostalgic eye for housewares – mid century, grandmillennial, farmhouse, traditional, classical, coastal, and contemporary - are all styles you can bank on finding in my shop.
Hi, I'm Caroline.
I have 20+ years or experience in the corporate and consulting world in marketing, technology, sales operations, and analytics and love being able to put it all to use in my entrepreneurial journey. I’m multi-passionate and there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t dream up a new idea (or five) that gets me even more excited to get out of bed in the morning!
My ultimate mission is to #sellvintagesavetheworld by promoting and encouraging others to buy secondhand over new for the good of the planet. Join me in helping to save the world - whether you’re a vintage collector or a vintage slinger - one gorgeous, pre-loved, and perfectly worn treasure at a time!
My love for vintage and my devotion to the vintage community is the real deal - I am committed to sharing my wide breadth of business experience and knowledge to help fellow vintage sellers succeed, whether it’s a side hustle or a full-time job. Community and camaraderie may as well be my middle names!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My unique background in sports as a life-long competitive athlete (college tennis captain here), my 20+ years or experience in the corporate and consulting world in marketing, technology, sales operations, and analytics, plus my passion for vintage and helping others, makes me the perfect candidate to be a coach and motivator. I am constantly striving to learn more, be better at my craft and find efficiencies, and I thrive off of leading a community and seeing others who have the same passions as me have success. Plus, I'm always selling right alongside you so we are in it together!
Yes! Let's meet one-on-one and put together a plan full of steps that will be acheivable and easy to follow. I can also introduce you to sellers within my community for extra guidance if needed!
I wholeheartedly believe in community over competition and strongly buy into the old saying "a rising tide lifts all boats." The more vintage sellers there are out in the world representing ourselves in a professional manner and being the best we can be, the more the general public will want to support us. A customer could have a bad experience with just one shop and be turned off from buying vintage ever again. We can all benefit from empowering and educating each other and there is enough vintage and customers to go around!
