I'm Zoe, I own my con brass, which is an upcycling home-wares business, and this is why I switched to Shopify.

One of my biggest challenges was the lack of support when I really needed it,

and it would always slow down the momentum of my business. With Shopify, I could get hold of a real person quickly,

and not only would they solve a problem I had, they'd also give me the tools to feel empowered moving forward.

I felt like I didn't even know who my customers were. Thanks to Shopify analytic tools, I feel more confident with the products I'm creating

and the sales are actually reflecting that. With Shopify's theme editor, I can easily share elements of who I am in my shop,

and have full control of how my brand is represented. I spent nearly seven years on other platforms,

and I'm kicking myself and not making the switch earlier. Not only do I know my customers better,

but they know me better as well. Start your new journey today on Shopify.
