What should a store owner hand off first?
Start with the work that repeats and does not need your judgement: content, then product pages and uploads. Hand over more as trust builds. That is how our first store job went.
How it went for us
Our founder was hired by a merchandise store for social media and content. The owner then taught him the store itself, and the role grew to cover product pages, uploads, fulfilment and customer service.
A sensible order
- Content and social posts.
- Product pages and uploads.
- Order follow-up and customer questions.
- The first email campaigns.
What to keep
Prices, refunds and the final say. Those stay with you however much else you hand over.
