Shelley Panton is a potter, ceramicist, and owner of The Panton Store, a beloved lifestyle and home boutique in Toora, Gippsland. In this episode, she shares the down-to-earth story of building her business from scratch and making the bold move from inner-city Melbourne to regional Victoria.
You'll learn:
- How early collaborations (like the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival) helped put her store on the map with the right audience
- Why trusting your intuition combined with looking at the data is crucial for making big business decisions
- The reality of running a bricks-and-mortar retail business and why sometimes you need to see your space empty to know it's time to move on
- How she's built a thriving business in regional Australia and what that tree change has meant for her family and the business
