Elizabeth Schaefer Endener | Episode 560
Elizabeth Schaefer Endener started working with clay in high school but did not pursue it as a career. Instead Elizabeth got her degree in Biology and worked at a variety of places trying to find the right fit. Elizabeth got involved with the organic and sustainable food movement, working for and managing some start-up companies including local food cooperatives and a small organic farm. Elizabeth’s entrepreneurial spirit grew and decided that what she wanted more than anything was to combine her two passions, both of which involved transforming the earth. So, in 2015 Elizabeth set upon starting a business creating and designing a beautiful line of pottery, as well as growing a little cut flower garden and raising butterflies.
One of the key factors in the success of any business is how well the marketing is conducted. A simple definition of marketing is getting potential or current customers to know what it is that you offer for sale or use. Elizabeth gives us her perspective and an overview on marketing.
