You want to offer some swag at our next Hub event, now what? Swag items are sponsored items that are given out to Hub members that ultimately promote your brand. In order to stand out from the crowd, you need to think of swag items that can make an impression.
You are remembered for the swag you contribute. If something is overly branded with your logo, people are less likely to use it. If something isn’t useful or fun, they won’t enjoy it. If they don’t use it, they won’t remember you.

In this episode, Serena and Java Patterson share the inspiring story of how they transformed The Farmhouse from a local vendor space into a successful boutique rooted in community. They walk through the key moves that fueled their growth, from switching their POS system from Clover to Shopify to streamline inventory and cut fees, to using smart merchandising to create an inviting shopping experience. - The Retail Metrics You Can’t Afford to IgnoreHave you ever heard the phrase, “When you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time”?

It’s not about being “good with numbers,” it’s about being intentional with your focus. Because when you consistently track something—whether it’s sales, traffic, or inventory—you naturally start to improve it.
