Small Business Tips!

If you missed Tuesday's podcast drop, we discussed the market season that is upon us...

We’re sharing practical tips to help vendors make the most of the busy fourth quarter. We’ll discuss everything from choosing the right tent weights to smart pricing strategies that can draw in customers. Plus, we’ll highlight trending products and seasonal opportunities you won’t want to miss. Join us for straightforward advice and down-to-earth tricks to boost your sales and make this holiday season your most profitable yet!

But today's, Friday's, new podcast episode has me answering YOUR questions!

“Can a business that has received a grant from the CRA in the past, apply again?” “Do you use Square?” & “Since you posts so much, do you schedule them?”

Let's find out the answers now...

🌟 Meet Laney: The Independent Sweetheart 🌟
​
Born in December 2023, Laney is a gorgeous gray tabby 🐈‍⬛ with big, beautiful round eyes 👀 that see everything—including whether you’re worthy of her affection. This playful and curious 😺 girl loves to have fun, but only on her terms. One moment, she’s zooming after toys, and the next, she’s lounging like a queen 👑, watching the world with quiet confidence.
​
Laney has been with us at Kitty Cat Lounge ☕️🐾 for a while, waiting for her person—someone who will love and appreciate her for exactly who she is. She may not be the cuddliest cat in the bunch, but when she chooses you, it’s special. ✨ If you’re looking for a fiercely independent yet secretly sweet companion, Laney might just be your perfect match! 💕

That's A Wrap!

The past few months have flown by, and we've come a long way since this lil idea of the LKLD EDGE kicked off.

Thanks for your support!

We have a lot planned and in the works despite setbacks and constant changes that we can't control.

I look forward to the rest of 2025 with y'all! Let's see what happens! 🚀
