Founded and Built MTN Merch retail boutique from the ground up. Responsible for everything from finance, buying, designing, marketing, advertising, product development, POS system, webpage, internet sales, hiring, management, working with vendors, growth and profit strategies, budgets, inventory management and more. MTN Merch was designed to reach a niche market in Asheville, NC that supplied locally made products [everything from shampoo to chocolate to leather and art], locally designed and printed apparel. It turned a profit the first year and was growing at 35-45% yearly. MTN Merch became a brand throughout North Carolina and worked to have products placed in other area retail locations. We also became a source for local BTB selling wholesale, providing product selection and design services, serving over 20 other accounts. MTM Merch was approached by a local vendor and was sold in 2017.
