## Business Overview

Sara Duffy is a freelance makeup artist specialising in bridal beauty. With a strong personal brand and growing product line, her business faced increasing demand but lacked the digital infrastructure to scale.

### Project Objective

To consolidate bookings, client communications, and retail into one streamlined digital ecosystem, enabling growth while reclaiming owner time.

### Key Challenges

- Manual quoting and scheduling over DMs and email
- Disconnected product sales and service offerings
- Inefficient mobile website and poor conversion rates
- Time-consuming admin limiting capacity to grow

### Digital Lean Transformation

- Helped to scope a new mobile-optimised WordPress site integrating bookings and eCommerce
- Embedded CRM automations to manage confirmations, reminders, and client onboarding
- Integrated Instagram and other socials to drive traffic and increase brand consistency

### Results & Outcomes

- **6–8 hours/week saved**  by automating bookings and client comms
- **Professionalised client experience**  through automated CRM workflows
- **Integrated product sales**  led to upsell opportunities and increased order volume
- **Stronger online brand presence**  drove more traffic and engagement

**Quote from Sara Duffy**

“Having all my services and shop in one place has made it easier for my clients—and for me. I can now focus on expanding, knowing the day-to-day is taken care of.”
