Reader, One of the most frequent questions I get is, "What's trending right now?" Building a successful resell business is part audience-building, part smart-sourcing, and part trend-identifying. Jumping on a trend won't make or break your business, but it certainly can give you a little boost! So new today on YouTube, I'm sharing 15 things I see trending this summer, along with 5 things that seem to be on their way out. Curious to see if you agree with these for your area and customers 🧐
Do I need a Website?When I started 14 years ago, a website was for the "big" business people, the ones who felt really important and special 😂 But now, having your own website, or even just a basic landing page, is pretty much standard practice for anyone looking to build a business brand. I know that may sound overwhelming to a lot of you, which is why I'm excited to share the sponsor of today's newsletter: Lovable. Lovable is an AI tool that can help you build a basic website or landing page super easy. Or if you wanna get crazy and have an idea for an app that could change the reselling game, it could help you build that too. If you've felt like it's time to mark a basic website off your business to-do list, Lovable could help you get that done this summer. And the best part, their basic plan is free! Weekly Restock is Live in the Online ShopOn Monday I added some more new finds to the Found Collection online shop, these all have a classic English library feel. As always, US and Canadian shipping available along with free local pickup at checkout.
As always, I appreciate you being here with me today! If I can be of any help in your reselling journey, don't ever hesitate to reach out. |

Reader, Starting in 2023, things began feeling different in my business. And as I talked to my booth owner and reselling friends, I wasn't the only one feeling that way. The truth is, since 2020, a LOT has changed in the reselling world - whether you are a booth owner, show seller, or are only online. And in the last 3 years, the pace of changes has sped up. But I don't want you to be discouraged! With change also comes opportunity, and I believe smart sellers can adapt to what we're seeing...
