Isn\u2019t it flattering and exciting when customers make a
\nday around visiting your shop!? Doesn\u2019t it make you a little teary
\nwhen people make visiting your shop a special event!? Today we\u2019re
\ntalking about how to build that business that attracts all of the
\ncustomers for all the right reasons.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to widen the net and become THE destination shop!<\/p>\n

We have the opportunity to not just sell things, but truly create
\nan experience for people and make them feel something. And this
\nshould be at the top of your list, and in order to make it happen,
\nyou have to know your ideal customer.<\/p>\n

We discuss so many ideas in this episode on HOW you can get your
\ncustomers excited to come in and experience your shop. Whether you
\nown a bookstore, a vintage shop, a home decor store, a jewelry
\nstore, or a paint store – we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n

So, are you asking yourself the following questions\u2026?<\/p>\n

*What is something your ideal customer would love?
*What is it that your customers don\u2019t love?
*Are you building a community?
*Are you creating an EXPERIENCE?<\/p>\n

Overall, it\u2019s all about trust, community, being 100% yourself, and
\nintentional planning. None of this happens by accident. Let\u2019s dive
\nin and not just focus on our great inventory, but focus on
\nexpanding our customer footprint and becoming the beautiful
\nbusiness and attraction you were meant to be.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s keep our shops enjoyable not only for our customers, but for
\nus as well!<\/p>\n

About your host, Wendy Batten<\/p>\n

In case we haven\u2019t met yet, I\u2019m Wendy, a small
\nbusiness coach and founder of the
\nRetailer\u2019s Inner Circle, where I help other independent shop
\nowners learn how to gain the right business skillsets to see more
\nprofits, paychecks, and joy as they navigate running their retail
\nbusiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through online classes, business coaching programs,
\nspeaking, and a top-ranked podcast,
\nI\u2019ve helped hundreds of retailers around the globe reclaim their
\ndream and see the success they want from their beautiful shops. My
\nsignature private coaching community, The
\nRetailer\u2019s Inner Circle, has helped retailers around the world
\nbuild their retail business skill sets and confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I am proud to have been featured in several major
\npublications, including my own business column in What Women Create
\nmagazine. I have been privileged to be a guest on top-ranked
\npodcasts and sought-after as a guest speaker and teacher for
\nseveral brands, associations, and communities that are passionate
\nabout the success of independent retailers.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not coaching, you will find me either DIYing
\nand renovating my very imperfect old crooked cottage by the sea in
\nthe UNESCO World Heritage town of Lunenburg, NS, or blogging about
\nour travel and RVing adventures and the weird fun things we get up
\nto in our coastal village. I\u2019d love to invite you to check out one
