our philosophy
Finding time to keep up with what's new: marketing is constantly evolving and complex. When orders need to be placed, boxes unpacked and kilns loaded, staying on top of marketing trends often falls to the bottom of your list.
​
Focus your time on your customers and the community you've created, not tech: you started your business to create, inspire and teach, not to manage SEO, email campaigns and website updates.
Complete strategy, not random tactics: successful marketing requires connecting your digital marketing with your customers' in-studio experience. They are not separate efforts.
Ours is a strategic partnership: we create the marketing strategy so you can focus on what you love and do best - running your creative business. Together we drive real business results.
You focus on your studio and your customers; we'll handle the marketing complexity so your business can thrive in today's complex world.
"Prospective buyers do not want to buy a job. They want to buy a business."

What Studio Owners Are Saying About The Creative Retailer
Love! Love! Love!
The Creative Retailer! Hillary's fantastic designs keep our social media fresh and frequent!
TROY MYERS
Hot Pots, OH
I reached out to Hillary for assistance after being a member for a few months. Not only did I receive a response in a timely manner, but we met 2 days later and Hillary walked me through accessing and posting pictures. She was very patient, attentive, and supportive. The Creative Retailer is an invaluable service!
HOLLY ARAGON
Just Kiln Me Now, NM
I just love the graphics from The Creative Retailer. When the content is released each month, I’m super excited! Beautiful and eye-catching graphics are ready for me to customize or use as-is. The variety is great and mixes seamlessly with my own studio pics. The monthly graphics help me schedule posts a week or two at a time, making my life so much easier!

My goal this year is work smarter not harder, and as I sit here making my content for the month it's so nice to “phone a friend” by having all these lovely graphics to make posts with!
