Scrub Store 101 Webinar Series

Fourth Tuesday of Every Month
2:00 pm ET / 1:00 pm CT
Join fellow independent retailers for this monthly webinar series. There will be a 20-25 minute presentation on a specific subject, then 30-35 minutes of Q & A, followed by a quick discussion on what the next topic should be. This series will focus on the basic fundamentals of scrub store ownership and put “tools” in the owner’s “tool kit.” This is a FREE member benefit. 
 

URA members receive free consultations. This is an excellent opportunity for scrub store owners to ask questions and get answers from a seasoned scrub store owner, Jason Mead. Jason has two brick-and-mortar stores and three online stores. When you visit Scrubstore101.com, go to “Book Online” and select “URA Member Free Consultation”.

Scrubstore101.com is also looking for other scrub store owners who would like to become mentors to newer store owners. Plus, the site will become a knowledge base to include tools, ideas, and strategies from other scrub store owners. If interested in mentorship or submitting products to the knowledge base, let us know at https://scrubstore101.com/contact-us.
