Stand Out & Sell More: Brand Messaging Bootcamp for Vintage Sellers
A 2.5-hour, in-person workshop to help your vintage shop convert followers into buyers.
📍 San Francisco
📆 Tuesday, March 31st
⏰ 1pm - 3:30pm
You’ve seen other vintage sellers with social media presences that seem to open doors (and sales) for them. Their DMs seem flooded, comment section’s engaged, events sell out, and racks are always refreshed. Meanwhile, you feel lucky when your posts get over 50 likes.
The beauty of social media is that your account can get to that place too. With a differentiated brand and a strong grasp on the algorithm, the online world is your oyster. Finally, social media can stop feeling like a drain and start being a driver of your business.
This bootcamp is designed to help you dial in what makes your shop unmistakably you so your content attracts the right people, builds trust faster, and leads to more sales (without needing to post 24/7).
What to Expect
You’ll learn social media frameworks for growth, do guided journaling exercises to apply them to your brand immediately, and workshop live examples together.
All while building your network with other SF based vintage sellers!

Build a simple set of themes so you always know what to post—and why it matters.

The repeatable phrases, angles, and hooks that make your content instantly recognizable.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a:
Clear framework on how your unique brand story can reach your dream customers
Strong understanding on what to post on social media to grow your followers
Standout tagline you can use for posts, captions, bios, and product storytelling that makes your brand memorable
Confident grasp on the Instagram algorithm (& how to keep up with its changes)

Who this is for
This bootcamp is for vintage sellers who:
Feel like their social media presence isn’t reflecting how great their shop really is
Are done posting on a whim & praying that it will perform well
Want more shoppers actually buying from their online store
If you’ve been thinking, “I know I’m good at what I do… why doesn’t my social content translate?” this is for you.
