Hey retail (and WFFH) enthusiast! Welcome to “Window Shopping.”
If you were a supporter in 2019-2020 of Shamontiel’s retail magazine content and “top 5/10/15/20” listicles, you’ll enjoy this publication. If you kept on reading her content from 2020 to 2021 on Medium’s “Window Shopping” publication, you’ll enjoy it even more.
If you’re new here, Shamontiel’s focus is retail news, consumer news, technology in retail, and eco-friendly ways to keep goods out of landfills (i.e. giveaways, recycling, repurposing). As of November 2022, this publication has been relaunched and will have a new post each month. You will occasionally see online purchasing recommendations that are trending on social media if they catch Shamontiel’s attention long enough.
Additionally, readers will sporadically see a new post in “Work Fluently From Home (WFFH),” which is business news for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, freelancers and gig workers.
Why Substack?
I’ve written numerous online and print series since 2006. Some were with mainstream newspapers. Others were pretty well-known and lesser-known online news and lifestyle publications. Business decisions on my end were made, and I’m rebuilding. When I made the decision to start transitioning to Substack mid-2022, I knew I was losing a few thousand followers. Some have found me again on here, and I appreciate it. Whether I’m brand new to you or we’re reuniting again, let’s chat!
