Moxtra for the creative mind: Through the eyes of a Furniture Artist

Amanda Blackburn owns Weathered Willow, a rustic furniture and home décor virtual shop, located in Indianapolis, IN. A business that started simply by attending garage and estate sales soon turned into a profitable means of selling tried and true treasures.

Amanda uses Moxtra as a tool to organize her merchandise and share it with potential customers. “As a small start-up business I need all the help I can get when it comes to organization and to-do lists. My creative mind doesn’t think like that on it’s own! Moxtra has been able to help me share, maintain and keep up-to-date on all of my existing products and new inventory,” said Amanda.

Amanda uploads all of her inventory easily into Moxtra binders and adds description and pricing information using the Moxtra Note capability. Moxtra Notes allow her to add voice and visual annotations. She then shares the Moxtra binder, with a simple push of a button for a quick and easy way to showcase her available products for sale, along with their corresponding prices and designer notes.

When an item has sold, she easily moves that item into separate binder marked “Sold” and inserts the buyer’s information. “There is no need for paper and pen, which I admittedly have lost in the past. I have digitized everything so I can simply look back in my Moxtra binder to see which items sold and for how much, along with when the buyer will be coming to pick up their items or if they need shipping,” she said.

Amanda uses Moxtra daily to help manage her life and small business activities. Are you a small business owner, artist or need help with organization? How does Moxtra help you?
