Support Your Favorite Retailers Online
When the Coronavirus forced retail stores to temporarily shut down in California, Brooke decided to turn her in-person hands-on DIY workshop and retail boutique to an at-home business by creating an online retail store. Fortunately, she had amazing results from old and new customers alike. "The outpour and support from our customers and community was incredible," she told E! News. "In the months we were closed, we had over 500 DIY-to-go kits ordered, numerous retail purchases and hundreds of new customer referrals. Four weeks into the closure, I was able to bring back several employees who rely on this income to survive. It was an incredible thing to experience and as a believe, it was a testament to God's faithfulness."
