3 mistakes that keep small product retail businesses stuck!

Ever wondered why your sales are stuck in first gear – and what you can actually do to shift them?

I'm Catherine Erdly and this episode of the Resilient Retail Game Plan drills into three mistakes I see again and again with small product businesses. If you’re posting on Instagram, trying in-person markets, running the odd promotion yet still seeing stubbornly flat sales month after month, you’re not alone. I draw on 25 years in retail, from big business stockrooms to indie brands, to break down what’s really holding back your growth – and what needs to change if you want momentum, not just busy work.

Why listen?

• Diagnose the hidden traps behind sales plateaus – and get clarity on what to fix first
• Craft a retail planning mindset that supports creative not cookie-cutter growth
• Pinpoint how to build a product strategy rooted in data (not guesswork or feast/famine launches)
• Sift fact from feeling so your decisions support cash flow for retailers
• Walk away with indie retailer tips to create your own resilient retail game plan
