Location
Online Zoom Event

A large group of people gathers in a cozy, wood-paneled living room with a stone fireplace, sofas, and snacks, enjoying conversation during an engaging program or events as natural light streams in from tall windows.

Curious about selling online but not sure where to begin? Join us for a relaxed, info-packed session with two business women who’ve done it themselves. You’ll walk away with real advice, helpful tips, and the confidence to take your next step.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ Why selling online can help grow your business – in and out of tourist season! 
✅ Common fears and how to move past them.
✅ Simple tips to get started, from people who’ve been there.

Meet the Speakers:

Andrea Gretzinger, Business Consultant, UW-Stevens Point SBDC

Andrea works with small businesses every day as a consultant at UW-Stevens Point’s Small Business Development Center. She also runs her own business, North Wood Blooms wood flowers, so she knows the ups and downs of getting started. Andrea will share practical advice and easy ways to get your online shop off the ground – successfully!

Sarah Zidek, Co-Owner, Hooked & Tagged – Eagle River

Sarah co-owns Hooked & Tagged, a lifestyle brand based in Eagle River. She and her husband, Tom, have built a strong business and online presence. They know what works (and what doesn’t). Sarah will talk about their journey, what they’ve learned, and how you can start selling online with confidence.

We extend our gratitude to Associated Bank for their generous support of this program.
