You may want to sell online, or you may just want to have a shop online where viewers can see a sample of your merchandise so they are motivated to visit your real-life shop.
Or you may be concerned that online consignment “big boxes” are cutting into your market.
Or you may want to become one of those major players yourself.
No matter your reasons, it’s always a good idea to
keep an eye on the competition
and to see how they market themselves, and maybe even gather a few ideas of things that could work for your business.
