In our current podcast series, I interview the owners of 4 very different graphic design businesses and we dive deep into their marketing.
Today’s episode is the first of that series and I kick it off with Sara Loretta of 99 & Saint Claire, based in Austin, Texas.
While tuning into this episode, listen for a common social media mistake that led to a critical pivot in Sara’s business and resulted in a better return on her marketing efforts.
And, hear the incredible story of how she landed 40 clients within the first 3 months of starting her business.
“What I’ve noticed is that by touching people where they’re at, I’m able to bring in new leads from a TikTok or an Instagram Reel.” – Sara Loretta
