  • We Got Black Friday’d! What Makers Can Learn From It

    We Got Black Friday’d! What Makers Can Learn From It
    Nov 30 2025
    In this episode of Make Good Things Happen, Angela and Renée dig into the sting of being “Black Friday’d,” and unpack what it says about trust, loyalty and modern marketing.


    How can one messy discount experience reveal so much about customer confidence?


    From the sudden discount drop that left them “Black Friday’d” to the rise of overly personal SMS marketing, our ladies discuss what this shopping frenzy reveals about customer trust, pricing behaviour and the risks of stretching promotions too far. They explore why false urgency breaks loyalty, how ads demand community management, and what it means to stand firm in your pricing.


    Segments include:

    • From Scroll to Cart
    • Gruen Lite
    • Making News
    • This Week I...


    What we cover in this episode:

    • What it means to be “Black Friday’d” and how fast trust can evaporate.
    • Why endless discounting trains customers to doubt your pricing.
    • The rise of SMS marketing and why it feels intrusive.
    • How to handle negative comments on Facebook ads with professionalism and clarity.
    • Why your product is not meant for everyone, and why that is okay.
    • A wrap-up of maker and creative-community news, design events and industry updates.

  • Asbestos in the Sand and Other Reasons to Shop from Makers

    Asbestos in the Sand and Other Reasons to Shop from Makers
    Nov 23 2025
    In this episode of Make Good Things Happen, Angela and Renée dig into the coloured sand asbestos recall, unpack what it says about supply chains and consumer trust and remind us why buying from makers matters more than ever.


    How can a tiny recall story reveal so much about our supply chains and safety standards?


    From the coloured sand asbestos recall to the realities of supply-chain blind spots, our ladies discuss what recent events reveal about safety standards, consumer trust and why choosing makers over mass-produced goods matters more than ever. Along the way they touch on consumer rights, creative community events and the quiet power of buying thoughtfully.


    What we cover in this episode:

    • The coloured sand asbestos recall and what it reveals about supply chains and safety standards
    • Why thoughtful buying matters and how to choose safer, maker-led alternatives
    • A quick PSA on “no refund” signs and knowing your consumer rights
    • Renée’s dispatch from the Sydney Ceramics Market and trend highlights
    • A wrap of recent creative events, including Crafting Conversation and Made Right Here
