Julie Walsh, Account Manager and Marketing Strategist from the Workstand Marketing Agency Team, joins the podcast to talk about successful strategies for sales success during the 2025 holiday season. Julie has also published a new blog post with even more details and additional resources to help you grow sales in a challenging and competitive market. The high-level tips are:1. Look through the eyes of your customersIf your homepage feels a little out of season, revamp your website for the holidays with a homepage takeover. 2. Make shopping easyShoppers prioritize convenience when purchasing online. Simplify things by bundling content and scheduling it through the end of the year with pre-built content like Cyber Week, Holiday Sale, and Last-Minute Gifts. 3. Win local search campaignsCorner your local cycling market with Google Ads. Shoppers often look to Google first for desirable products—get your inventory at the top of search results so it's always top of mind. 4. Stay top of mind on all channelsStaying connected with your customers is key to keeping them engaged through the holidays and into the new year. Don't forget the power of traditional mail, too. Sending a physical holiday postcard or flyer to your customer list adds a personal, memorable touch that stands out in a digital-heavy season. 5. "Set and forget” customer communicationWhen you don't have time to plan out email campaigns, you can still keep in touch with customers by sending out automated emails after they've made a purchase with Workstand IQ Loyalty.6.

Producer/host Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes artists Francisco and Fredy Gabuardy, Consuelo Cruz Vice President of Marketing and Community Engagement Belger Arts, artists Tyler Suter and Hannah Schelb. FRANCISCO and FREDY GABUARDY- Kansas City-based media artists Francisco Gabuardy and Fredy Gabuardy are identical twins, but their styles are not hard to differentiate. Francisco explores a collection of personally meaningful symbols like spikes and pie graphs, while Fredy is a builder and often includes sculptural elements in his work. Cadejo, their first collaborative exhibition, was four years in the making. It showcases 10 pieces, eight highlighting the push and pull of their unique styles and shared Nicaraguan origins, and two representing their own studio practices. Cadejo refers to a mythical, dog-shaped spirit they grew up hearing stories about. In Central American folklore, it represents "good" and "evil," light and dark. It can protect and attack, lead away from harm or toward danger. They were inspired by the dual nature of cadejo, reflected in their complementary or perhaps, at times, seemingly contradictory styles and approaches. The works, in turn, reflect their relationship as twins, mirroring each other at various points in life and art. For the Gabuardys, the key aspect of cadejo is its mysterious ability to lead. But whether to safety or peril, the artists must keep moving forward. The brothers created the works using a series of self-imposed "rules," game play, and improvisational techniques. Each collaborative effort involved new negotiations and strategies with every action and counteraction. How much space does one occupy? Who gets to enter the conversation, and when? The results are both uncanny collisions and gentlemanly covenants in mixed media, expressing twin communication that goes beyond words. The works are exercises in trust and intention. In this series of collaborations, the artists demonstrate a tenacious investment of energy and time, and an expansive curiosity around process, material, and formalism. The works are packed with personally meaningful symbols, exuding cryptic beauty in their unexpected compositions. The artists invite viewers to approach the works with an open mind, reminding us that these abstractions hold infinite interpretations. They see the pieces as stanzas, sentences, or small thoughts that can serve as starting points for the viewer's own narrative. Artists talk can be viewed here, Unraveling ‘Cadejo: A Twins' Journey - YouTube www.fredygabuardy.com www.franciscogabuardy.com Kansas City Public Library Central Library 14 W. 10th St. KCMO Guldner Gallery now through September 20 CONSUELO CRUZ, Vice President of Marketing and Community Engagement Belger Arts Belger Arts Residency Programs, Hannah Schelb, Ceramics Artist in Residence, Tyler Suter, Glass Artist in Residence Belger Crane Yard Studios continues to host national and international artists through its Residency program. A residency provides ceramic artists with the opportunity to expand their body of work or create a special project that may be outside the scope of their routine studio practice. The residency program gives driven, self-directed artists opportunities for rigorous professional development and enhanced self-sufficiency practices. Within the studio community, resident artists engage in constructive dialogue and immerse themselves in their work. Residents foster the development of the studio's creative environment and create outreach opportunities within the local community. Outreach opportunities include teaching classes or workshops, giving public presentations, and critiques. Through community involvement, residents create educational opportunities for the appreciation and critical understanding of ceramics, thus employing and evolving Belger Crane Yard Studios as an innovative, artistic resource. Hannah Schelb, Ceramics Artist in Residence: Hannah Schelb started working in ceramics in 2009 while attending Augusta State University. After receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2012, she started a studio practice and eventually moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she worked in glaze production and taught community classes. In 2016 and 2017, Schelb attended summer residencies at Chautauqua School of Visual Arts in Chautauqua, New York, while teaching after-school programs in Cincinnati, Ohio, during the school year. She was accepted into the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2019 and graduated with a Master of Arts and Fine Arts in May 2021. She was the director of ceramics for the summers of 2020 and 2021 at a summer camp in Harrison, Maine. Schelb became a lecturer for the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2022-2024 and started showing work at several prominent galleries. Schelb recently completed her 2024-25 residency term at the Belger Crane Yard Studios and is returning for her second term. The Glass Residency is open to emerging glass artists looking to further their artistic and professional careers and gain experience teaching and working with the public. This residency is ideal for artists looking to develop a body of work, who thrive in a shared, communal space, and are preparing for the next step in their professional pursuits. Resident artists advance their art practice in a spacious state-of-the-art facility equipped for glassblowing, kiln forming, sandblasting, and coldworking. Work alongside nationally recognized artists throughout the year and help develop and inspire beginner glassblowers. Resident artists teach a class of their own design, plan and lead public glassblowing demonstrations, and engage with the public during hands-on glassblowing experiences. Tyler Suter, Glass Artist in Residence: Tyler Suter is a St. Louis-based studio artist who, since an early age, has had a profound love for the natural world. Working primarily with glass, his current body of work explores the repetition of form and pattern that can be found throughout nature, from micro to macroscopic. Developing this body of work involves exploring various glassworking techniques and incorporating ceramic components. Tyler received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art with a concentration in ceramics from Bowling Green State University. He has had work featured in numerous group exhibitions, including Bravo! BGSU: A Celebration of the Arts (2018). He has also conducted public demonstrations and private classes, sharing his passion for glass with the community. Tyler recently began an artist residency at the Belger Glass Annex in the inaugural year of the residency program. Since 2000, the Belger Arts Center has encouraged viewers to explore, question, and deepen their understanding of art and of the world around them. Drawing upon the extensive Belger Collection as well as a rich variety of local, national, and international artists, the Belger Arts Center has staged over 100 large-scale exhibitions that represent some of the best in contemporary art. Belger Crane Yard Studios is a ceramics studio, education center, and gallery space located in downtown Kansas City's Crossroads district. Learn new techniques or master old ones with wheel throwing, handbuilding, and special topic classes, for beginners to professional potters. Our world-renowned Artist-in-Residence program has made Belger a center for contemporary ceramic art, fostering artists to explore their craft. The adjoining Belger Crane Yard Gallery hosts exhibitions featuring world-class glass, ceramics, and multimedia artists. The Belger Glass Annex is the third Belger Arts location and opened to the public in October 2021. It is the first public glass blowing studio in Kansas City of its scale and scope. The facility boasts state-of-the-art glass blowing equipment and tools, a furnace that holds 300 pounds of molten glass, and three workstations. The Belger Glass Annex is a Midwest hub for glass art, education, and appreciation, strengthening Kansas City's reputation as an arts destination. www.belgerarts.org Belger Arts Center 2100 Walnut Street Kansas City, MO 64108 816 - 474 – 7316 gallery@belgerarts.org Belger Crane Yard 2011 Tracy Avenue Kansas City, MO 64108 Events • October 3, First Friday: Opening of Put a Lid on It exhibition (lidded vessel invitational) and Fall-Focused Glass Demo with Glass Pumpkin Sales • Eight resident artists have arrived: (https://belgerarts.org/air) Four new ceramics residents + two returning ceramics residents + two residents for our NEW Glass Residency(https://belgerarts.org/glass-residency-programs)! • November 7, First Friday: Opening of Holidays at Belger Crane Yard Gallery • November 21 and 22 Holiday Sale at Belger Crane Yard Studios • We also kicked off Saturday Socials in our ceramics studio—like Date Night but without the pressure of having to bring a date.

There's nowhere lonelier in the world than rock bottom.  It's a place where overwhelm, anxiety, and uncertainty feel relentless, and the total weight of your burden makes moving forward seem impossible. Staying down is a choice, but it's one that you really can't afford to make. Before you pick yourself up, you need to know exactly where you are. When you recognize where the demons holding you down come from, you can see the path you need to take to fight back and regain control.  It's not about hacks, quick fixes, or the perfect framework. It's about facing the hard truth head-on, with squared shoulders, and taking action, even when the easy choice is to stay down. In this episode we cover: The three most common responses to overwhelm and a “salty” alternative How to categorize our stressors so we can divide and conquer Self discrepancy theory and making peace with our whole selves Investing in yourself and the pitfalls of “playing tight” To get the most out of this episode, and every episode in our library, download our free bonus reflection question sheets. They're designed to help you think deeper, organize your thoughts, apply what you've learned, and TAKE ACTION.

Let's be honest—most of us are masters at playing the “what if” game. But instead of using it to imagine bold, exciting possibilities, we use it in a way that riddles with us with self-doubt and makes us hide from our potential: “What if I fail?” “What if everyone laughs at me?” “What if I accidentally become a meme?” In this episode, we're flipping the script. Because, let's face it, the fear-based “what if” game isn't winning us any awards (unless there's a prize for sleepless nights). Instead, I'll show you how to play the version of the game that leads to courage, confidence, and so much possibility! We'll tackle how to silence that inner critic and replace it with thoughts that move you towards the life you have imagined for yourself rather than away from it. So, grab your headphones and let's turn those “what ifs” into your secret weapon for freedom and possibility.

  With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   In This Episode:  Don't sit on cash. This time of the year we want to move inventory OUT. Let's make sure you don't have any extra inventory left after the holidays. Let's also optimize how much you can get for what you do have and let's turn it into cash before the end of the holidays! In this episode, I'm sharing practical, effective tips to help independent retailers move slow-moving or excess inventory. I'll tell you how to leverage bundling, flash sales, and other simple promotional strategies to clear stock and improve holiday sales. Some Takeaways:  Optimize Inventory Levels: Regularly assess your stock to ensure you're not overstocked on items that aren't moving. Set a Clearance Timeline: Establish a plan for holiday decor or seasonal items to avoid post-holiday clutter. Bundling Products: Combine slow-moving items with popular ones to create attractive themed bundles. Create “Last Chance” Sections: Designate a specific area in your store for final sale items to draw attention. Use Flash Sales and Events: Go live or send emails to promote limited-time offers that create urgency. Exclusive Discounts for Loyalty Members: Reward your loyal customers with early access to deals. Gift With Purchase (GWP): Offer a free gift to customers who spend over a certain amount to clear out smaller stock. Host a Live Sale: Engage customers by showcasing products directly, ideal for highlighting overlooked items. Mystery Bags & Stocking Stuffers: Surprise and delight customers with mystery items to encourage impulse buys. End-of-Season Blowout: Schedule an annual or biannual clearance event to keep stock fresh and avoid storing unsold items. “We don't want to box up money. Keep your inventory moving and in front of customers.” -Wendy Batten   Related podcasts we think you'll like:  Episode 104: Tight on Cash Flow?
