“Since working with Mallery I have been able to make the switch from selling on Etsy to driving traffic to my own website and successfully making more sales! As an artist, creating systems and staying organized is not my strong suit, which has lead to a lot of wasted time and money. Mallery has helped me get organized and prioritize my time better by focusing on what sells and keeping better track of my inventory.  She is what I was missing in my business, she is quick to solve problems and get tasks done and has helped my business grow to place I couldn’t do on my own.”

Venture Ever After

“Mallery is the ultimate organization, focus-giving, hype lady that any business can benefit from. I, myself, have a background in project and program management, but owning my own business as a solopreneur means that I often have to prioritize my time and energy and longer term projects get pushed to the wayside. Enter Makers to Market. Mallery has helped me on a number of projects, big and small, and her help has allowed me to push some of those back-burner items forward. This is huge for me, because when I’m feeling swamped by the more immediate needs of my current clients, I can’t devote as much time to actually growing my business. Mallery has helped me still work on those projects that will ultimately aid my growth while I work through a busy season.

I’d also be remiss not to mention how wonderful Mallery is to work with. She’s communicative, always completes work on time or ahead of schedule, and she provides valuable insight that it can be hard to get as an owner who’s so close to the inner workings of my business all the time. She’s helped identify areas where I can make changes for improved performance of my website and marketing, and she’s also helped implement some of those changes. She’s dedicated, passionate, and empathetic. I think any business, big or small, new or established, could benefit from working with her.

All this to say, Mallery is a gem and she offers such an incredible array of skill and expertise that is sure to aid any business in becoming a better version of itself. Highly recommend her, and I look forward to working with her more myself in the future.”

“I've always been hesitant of seeking outside help for my business. As a small business owner, I've grown accustomed to juggling multiple roles and maintaining control over every detail. While I managed to build my own website single-handedly, it was plagued with issues, inconsistencies, and a lack of SEO optimization due to my limited knowledge and time constraints. My website platform fell short of my expectations, and the complexity of my products left me fearful of change.

Upon our very first meeting, Mallery calmed every one of my fears. She took the time to truly understand my concerns and the intricacies of my products, offering valuable articles to guide my decisions. Over the following weeks, Mallery orchestrated the entire website migration process flawlessly. She crafted me a stunning and branded website, seamlessly transferred all my data, and ensured top-notch SEO implementation. With precision, she addressed every single one of my requirements, making every one of my website dreams a reality.

Not only is the final product of her work incredible, but through every step of the process Mallery maintained impressive organization, attention to detail and consistent communication. She took the time to research my needs that were outside the norm, and explained everything to me thoroughly so I have the tools needed to move forward. Mallery exceeded my expectations and took what was a massively daunting task for me and made it simple.

It can be intimidating handing over your business needs to someone else, but I can’t speak more highly of Mallery. The impact she has had on my business is immeasurable, and I would recommend Mallery to any small business owner that is wanting to take their business to the next level!”

She took the time to understand my specific needs, explaining everything thoroughly and providing the necessary tools for success.

Lauren Blair Art

“After working with Mallery for just two months, she has already transformed my online presence and business confidence. Mallery made me a beautiful new website (in what felt like no time at all) that is so much more functional and really represents my identity as an artist. She has solved many operational issues and provided countless solutions to organize and streamline my business. She has also helped me to dream bigger and feel like my goals are actually very reasonable and achievable.

I know many artists like myself don’t have the time or aptitude to tackle the organizational side of running a small business, and Mallery has really saved me in this department in many ways. She is kind, supportive, works quickly, and is ready to jump in and help with anything I need. I highly recommend working with her - she can really help grow your business and give you the gift of more time to create!”

“Mallery did incredible work for us this year, growing our business in real, tangible ways. After going full time with our pottery business, we were inundated with new opportunities which left us feeling scattered and uncertain of how to move forward. Things were slipping through the cracks—occasional missed deadlines, forgotten commissions—and some of the directions we moved in didn’t pay off or even lost us money. We needed help and Mallery showed up just in time.

Mallery’s initial advice got us organized. She helped us see our blind spots, and gave us actual dollars-and-cents data we could use to inform our decisions. Her SEO optimization exploded our Etsy reach, enabling us to have our greatest quarter ever. We paid off all our debt without taking pay cuts. I was shocked at how quickly things improved. 

Along the way, Mallery was approachable and compassionate, always a text or email away. We really looked forward to our meetings with her; it felt like a huge relief to have a concrete time we could tackle the big decisions that were stressing us out. After every market, she was there with the data and ready to celebrate (or commiserate). 

As a neurodivergent business owner tackling ADHD, Mallery kept me on task without making me feel ashamed or embarrassed. She knows what it’s like to be a self-employed working parent just like me. Her calm demeanor and mediation skills made decision making a breeze. Her sense of humor brought warmth and fun even when discussing stressful topics like finances. 

Mallery is genuinely invested in the success of our business, and I see real joy come from her when we succeed. She’s also direct and honest about her experience level and limitations. We’ve been hesitant in the past about working with consultants for fear of being taken advantage of, but Mallery’s reliability, respect, and approachable personality make us feel at ease. She doesn’t use abstract corporate jargon or promise unrealistic outcomes—she talks to us human to human! 

Between the reasonable rates Mallery charges, the great work she does behind the scenes to lighten our load, and the wonderful advice she gives us, we recommend Makers to Market to anyone hoping to grow their art or craft business.”

The Busy Birds

“As a creative business owner, there are so many hats to wear that I don't always take a step back and reflect on how things are running and ways to be more efficient. Mallery helped me organize all my business goals in order of importance, which is a practice I will definitely continue! She helped me think of ways to streamline my wholesale orders and create a template through my email platform so that I could have a better system for consistent check-ins. She is very transparent, a wonderful communicator, a quick problem solver with a knack for the operation and tech side of my business, which was just what I needed!”

“I cannot express enough how invaluable Mallery's services at Makers to Market have been for my business. As a small business owner, navigating the intricacies of the online world can be overwhelming, and that's where Mallery truly shines. I engaged her for a comprehensive review encompassing SEO technical and accessibility aspects, on-page evaluation, and a thorough keyword analysis for my business website.

From the very beginning, Mallery demonstrated a deep understanding of the nuances of online visibility and accessibility. Her SEO technical review was nothing short of enlightening, as she uncovered areas of improvement that I had never considered. Mallery not only identified potential issues but also provided clear, actionable recommendations to enhance the overall performance of my website.

The on-page review was equally enlightening. Mallery's attention to detail was impressive, and her insights into how to optimize the content and structure of my pages for both users and search engines were instrumental. She not only pointed out areas of improvement but also shared creative suggestions to make my content more engaging and user-friendly.

One of the highlights of Mallery's services was the keyword analysis. Her meticulous research and strategic approach helped identify valuable keywords relevant to my business. This has significantly improved my website's search engine rankings, driving more organic traffic and potential customers to my site.

Beyond her technical expertise, Mallery's communication style is commendable. She presented her findings and recommendations in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for me to understand the changes needed. Her commitment to transparency and client education stood out throughout the entire process.

In the end, the impact of Makers to Market's services on my business has been profound. The increased visibility, improved accessibility, and strategic keyword implementation have not only elevated my website's performance but also translated into tangible business growth.

I wholeheartedly recommend Makers to Market for anyone seeking expert guidance in SEO, accessibility, and overall website optimization. Mallery's professionalism, expertise, and commitment to client success make her an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you, Makers to Market, for being a pivotal part of my business journey!”

“I first heard about Makers to Market on Instagram and after our first call, I knew Mallery was the person I needed. I am a stained glass artist, not a website developer and I had created my own website over a year ago because I was tired of the increased fees being charged on Etsy. Building a website was not my forte, and I had never been pleased with how it turned out.

By our first phone call, not only had Mallery done some background research on my old website, she was acutely aware and transparent of what I needed and how to go about changing my website and actually bringing my vision to life!

Makers to Market has the expertise I needed and educated me on SEO guidelines and tips. Mallery also created videos to help me in the future as well. Throughout my many emails to her (which she answered almost immediately and made the changes), speaking with Mallery made me feel relaxed and I knew our collaboration would be fruitful.

I would highly recommend Makers to Market to anyone in need of assistance in wanting more exposure online, growing your business and becoming more educated in areas of your business where you need the most help!”
