Shop My Amazon List
Figuring out what all I needed to open my space was by far the hardest part. So I put together a comprehensive list of items I purchased to make it easier for you!
Furniture
90% of the furniture in my studio is previously owned. Facebook Marketplace was my go to for all of my pre-owned furniture. Do make sure you go with a friend when picking up items from people.
Scheduling
Having a comprehensive scheduling tool that integrates directly with our website has been a great timesaver and an opportunity to easily convert website visitors to booked studio users.
Marketing
Listing my studio on Peerspace has helped immensely with visibility and additional monthly income. Peerspace shouldn’t be used as your only lead generator but its a great start to get people familiar with your space.
