Business Plan
1. SEO, Marketing 2. Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Youtube, Snapchat, other) 3. Promotions 4. Signs and Ads Shazy is in a rural area lacking in jobs and community resources, especially in the areas of wellness, relaxation, and holistic lifestyles. By supporting a Wellness Boutique, Gift Shop, and Wellness Center, we are essentially creating new job opportunities, supporting local artisans, providing valuable community resources, and offering alternative wellness, and holistic lifestyle options for the locals, and online. Shazy also has the potential to become a chain of wellness boutiques and wellness centers around the State and around the country. The Wellness Boutique, Gift Shop, and Wellness Center could become a catalyst for positive change in an underdeveloped rural area, and a Holistic Lifestyle hub for the community, offering a range of services and products that promote well-being. It could provide employment and educational opportunities for local residents, stimulate economic activity in the area, and potentially attract visitors from neighboring regions. This, in turn, could lead to the growth of other businesses in the area, creating a more vibrant and sustainable local economy. Plus, the availability of alternative wellness options could contribute to the overall well-being of the community. Small businesses in this area fail due to low economic resources, and lack of support and exposure. We need businesses that are "significant", attractive, look great, and offer great opportunities for community healing and development.

Self Identified Competition
The biggest retail competitors in Hamlet would be Family Dollar, Dollar General, and Food Lion, but Shazy focuses on wellness options, special items, and artisan products they don't have. The 5th Dimension and Hippy Dippy Marketplace are small stores in the next town with some retail items that may be similar. There are no other Wellness Boutiques or Wellness Centers in Hamlet. Nobody offers relaxation and sound therapy, energy healing, active meditation, or ion detox foot baths. Shazy uses colors, gemstones, healing sounds, incense, and other natural techniques to offer a kind, loving, and pure environment where people can feel at ease, and get away from the stress of daily routines. I opened a small store for a short period in 2022; unfortunately, I did not have the financial means to continue or to develop the business I had in mind.
