By fiber folk, for fiber folk — marketing that helps your shop or farm get found and grow.

Fiber Folk Marketing™ helps fiber shops get discovered by the makers who matter most. Whether you need it done for you or want to do it yourself with expert coaching, we put your shop where local customers are already looking — on Google, on maps, in their inboxes, and in today’s AI tools.

Why Fiber Folk Marketing?

You’ve built something special — a shop full of color, texture, and community. But between running the register, ordering yarn, and planning classes, your marketing often falls to the bottom of the list. That’s where we come in.

Proof in the Pudding
“Hillary Dow is great as a marketing consultant helping us to get our online Shopify store up and running.  She is attentive to details and sees the big picture.  Hillary was prompt to meetings, did good planning week to week, and left us with the tools to look back to if we needed to. She went the extra mile by coming here to help with photos for the store.  She helped us step by step to create a functional Shopify online store.”
