We’ll start with a complimentary Clarity Call to get to know each other and explore which option is the right fit for you and your business.
Laurel grew her business by truly understanding her customers & what they want and then ditching Facebook ads for a way of marketing that worked for her and her audience (going on to 4X here sales over the next year.)
The average conversion in ecommerce is 1%. This means 99% of the people are leaving your store without buying. Imagine converting just 1% more.
Increase your ecommerce sales by knowing exactly what to say, how to say it and keep bringing your audience back.
You’ve been running your product-based business on Shopify for over a year now (maybe even longer), and you know people LOVE the products you sell. They’re buying — and they’re coming back for more.
You’ve steadily grown your email list and social media community because people love what you offer and stand for. It’s why you’ve been able to grow to a $5000+ monthly revenue.
You’ve intuitively created or curated products that people actually want. Your audience is buying from you and are even coming back for more. Yay for loyalty!
And yet… something feels off. You can’t quite put your finger on *what* that is; you just know you can’t continue doing all the things without seeing greater growth.
- Right now you’re:
-
Spending hours every week creating content (sooo many hours) and having no idea if it’s really resonating with your perfect customers - Sitting at your computer wanting to deeply connect with your audience but having no clue about what to say or how to say it so it moves them to action
- Optimising blogs for SEO and wondering if all the effort is even working
- Randomly pinning away in tiny pockets of downtime because everyone told you this was The Thing to use to drive free traffic
- Watching your FB ads eat up your store’s income without providing a return
- Figuring out the latest Instagram strategy (doesn’t it feel like there’s a new one every week?!)
All whilst continuing to make or curate high quality, conscious products, updating your Shopify storefront, sorting out the manufacturing, packing everything up beautifully, and sending out orders with that personal touch you adore giving. Whew!
Your business is SO personal, and the relationships you have with your customers are too. In order to keep giving the level of product and customer service you’re known for and scale your Shopify store, something needs to change. The question is… what? Keep reading!

We’ll start with a complimentary Clarity Call to get to know each other and explore which option is the right fit for you and your business.
The Scale Your Store private brand mentorship
focuses on the key foundations for your business.
We position your store fro growth and create a brand + plan that will help you communicate with your audience in a way that moves them to take action, and keeps bringing them back for more.
A brand helps you connect with your audience.
A plan gets you from point A, where you are, to point B, where you want to be.
Your business, just like your products, is one-of-a-kind. Therefore these building blocks are completely applied to your business, your context & your customer. I hold your hand throughout the entire process, provide ongoing, one-on-one, support, whilst we work together & equip you with the tools & techniques to continue thriving without me, once we’re done.
POSITION
Phase 1:
Lay the foundation
You’re selling so much more than a product. It’s a lifestyle. A movement.
Transform your store to an irresistible, conscious, brand that defines why your audience should buy from you, so that competition becomes irrelevant in the mind of your customer.
- Why: People buy from People and behind every small business, there’s a story worth knowing. Uncover your story.
- Customer: How do you expect to attract more of them, if you don’t know who you’re speaking to? Discover who your customer is, and their true needs, wants & desires (with my signature Story Probing technique & the 4D questions to dive into not just what they’re saying, but also doing, thinking & feeling).
- Value: People don’t buy your product. They buy the value you offer through your product. Define what makes you unique and why your customer should buy from you.
- Product: Customers will tell you their goals, dreams, frustrations. Not the solution. You provide them with the products that deliver on their needs & wants. Align your products to your why, customer and value.
PRIORITISE
Phase 2:
Build a Plan
Rule of 7: the average number of times a potential customer must hear, see, or interact with your brand, before purchasing.
Build a growth strategy plan to bring your audience back to your store…again and again; a plan that guides your audience through the customer journey (attract, engage, convert and delight).
- Destination: Commit to something for the long-run. Knowing that creating something meaningful takes time. Define where you want to be.
- Jumping-off point: To know where you are going, you have to know where you are starting from. Discover where you are now (starting with the 7 numbers to take control of your store).
- Lay-over: Plan for the long-term, but focus on the here & now. Decide where you need to be within a 1 year.
- Steps: A goal without a plan is a dream. Detail out action steps, for the next 90 days
PLAY
Phase 3: Take Action
Consistent action, creates consistent results.
Take consistent, intentional, steps towards your defined and measurable goals, keeping your brand (pillar 1) and plan (pillar 2) in mind. Constantly tracking, reviewing and adapting as you go along.
- Implement: A plan without action is just talk. Are you taking consistent action and implementing your plan? Real, long-term sustainable growth comes through slow and steady action that is taken over a longer period of time (with the occasional spurts).
- Review: You can’t improve and manage what you don’t measure. Track the metrics and KPIs. Track what you are doing on a weekly basis, with more in-depth reviews every month, quarter and year.
- Adapt: The ability to change and adapt, to both, circumstances and based on what your numbers are showing, is one of your biggest strengths. Based on your review, what can you tweak to amplify what’s working, or adapt what’s not, to help you towards reaching your goal?
This phase also includes reviewing your systems and resources needed to implement the plans optimally (e.g your ways of working, tools, team/hiring)
After completing both Phase 1 & 2, you’ll walk away with:
- Your irresistibly conscious brand guide covering the 4 building blocks that form the north star of your business. This feeds into everything else you do: messaging + copy, content, advertising, product decisions, collaborations, etc.
- Your 90-day action plan that moves your audiences to action, incl. understanding of your key business metrics and how to use them to decide on the actions to scale your store.
Phase 3 involves continuous mentorship and coaching
- Ongoing, in-depth, support and accountability whilst you are implementing your plans.
- It's like having a Head of Marketing or Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) by your side, every step of the way.
My 6-week 1:1 mentorship includes:
- 1 hour onboarding call: You’ll get access to all the resources, streamline how we work together, and I will teach you my signature Story Probing technique, so that you can discover your *real* customers needs, wants & desires (a technique you can continue using in your business & life, once we’re done)
- 2x strategy sessions of 3 hours each (one for each phase): in-depth, one-on-one, sessions to nail your brand and plan, so that you know exactly what to focus on to scale your store, after our 6 weeks together.
- Scale your Store Resources (tools, templates, examples, swipe files): to ensure you understand the concepts & tools we use and have inspiration in case you’re stuck. This deep understanding will allow you to move forward on your own, once we are done working together.
- Workbooks for each phase: step by step guidance for the entire process. From capturing all the detailed stories and analyses, to transforming into your final irresistibly conscious brand guide & 90 day action plan (your *north star*)
- Unlimited, ongoing, support via Voxer: for continuous, personalised, support for the full 6 weeks or months. I’m here to hold your hand every step of the way
My 6 month 1:1 mentorship includes:
- Everything from the 6-week mentorship. Once the foundations have been completed you will seamlessly transition into Phase 3 - Take Action
- 1x 90 min strategy sessions in the first week of every month: we will review your data, discuss how the previous month went and what your ONE focus is for the month going forward
- 1x 30 min in the third week of the month: a quick update to check how it's going, what's working, anything you are struggling with (perfect for longer questions, not suited for Voxer)
- Weekly ongoing support via Voxer: continuous personalised support to answer 'quick' questions
- Asset Reviews: you can submit any assets you want me to review (website, landing pages, emails, content, specific offers, etc.), which I will review in weeks 2 and 4 of every month.
Note: If you have already completed the foundations with me before, then we will immediately start the 6 months from this phase
From trying to do it all (wholesale, online store & art festivals) to taking a decision to focus on her zone of genius and what she enjoys. Therefore completely stopping wholesale.

So are you a conscious product entrepreneur?
You are here to build something meaningful. A conscious product business. And you know and accept that it takes time to create something meaningful (heard of slow growth yet?). Transforming your business into one that allows you to live the life you want is really important, but you’re not here to maximise your profits at any cost, or create a business with the sole purpose of selling it.
Are you able to check of the 5 P’s?
- Products: you sell products online (make or curate!)
- Purpose: you have a personal story behind your business, want to create impact and build something meaningful with the long-term in mind.
- People: a care about the people who make your products, the ones you employ, the ones who buy it! Fairly & ethically-made, diversity and inclusion are not just buzz words for you. You live by these. And you take care of yourself too!
- Planet: a business that is earth-friendly, mindful of the choices you make as a business owner and what you encourage your customers to make. (Think organic materials & ingredients, sustainability, farm-to-table.)
- Profit: whilst building a business that allows you to have a true impact, build that long-term sustainable business, and live the life you want.
(Bonus P: Hey, we’re not Perfect. You may not check all the boxes right now, but you are on your way to transforming your store into a conscious ecommerce brand that does.)
This brand mentorship is for you if:
- You’re doing the ‘right’ things - social media marketing, advertising, emailing, getting the traffic. The ones who buy love it, but you’re still not seeing your results improve (you wonder: am I even attracting the right person?)
- You’ve intuitively created or curated products that people actually want. You may *know* who your customer is, because they are buying from you (again & again). But you can’t put who they are and exactly what they want into words. Maybe they’re just a little different from what you *imagined*. (So how do you even start to attract more of them?)
- You don’t want a business that just gets you by. You want one for the long-term. A business that is sustainable, secure & stable. (Maybe even be the breadwinner at home?)
- You're not scared of putting in the hard work, but you’re ready for everything to feel effortless. (Bye hustle, and hello slowdown!)
- You’re tired of hiding and doing what others say is right for your business. You’re so ready to be bold & unapologetically you.
- You are tired of going it alone. Group experiences, though great, are too general and don’t take the nuances of your business into account. (Personalised guidance please!)
- You’re open to being challenged, offered different perspectives, and willing to do the work that goes with it.
- You believe in investing in your business and don’t shy away from getting help.
