Could you ever envision running a successful Etsy-based business across two continents?
Well, neither could Charlotte, but guess what she’s doing just that!
Charlotte runs the Etsy shop Crooked Crow Masks and she’s normally based in Alaska… But enter COVID-19 and not only did everyone’s world turn upside down, but businesses as well.
After an unprecedented sequence of events which you’ll hear Charlotte explain in more detail in our conversation in this week’s podcast episode, she had to figure out how to keep her business, her livelihood, going despite the pandemic.
But thankfully, there’s a lot more to Crooked Crow Masks and what Charlotte is than how it’s been affected by this situation.
