Running a small business means wearing a million hats, and over the years I’ve found a handful of tools that make it way easier to stay organized, get things done faster, and make more money (without totally losing my mind). These are the tools that power Page’s Peaches and The ArtVend every single day.

1. Digital Calipers ✨

Now hear me out—I use this ALL THE TIME. For measuring the exact thickness of items, checking if something will fit in the ArtVend, or making sure packaging is the right size. This tool is surprisingly essential. It's one of those things you don’t know you need until you get it. Total game changer.

2. Adobe Illustrator 🎨

I live, breathe, and die on Illustrator. Every sticker, pill case decal, packaging file, you name it, starts here. It’s hands-down the most important creative tool in my business.

3. Splice (for Video Editing) 🎥

If you’ve ever seen a TikTok or Reel from me, there’s a good chance I edited it in Splice. It’s easy to use and perfect for fast, engaging content.

4. Tailwind (for Pinterest) 📍

Pinterest is a big part of my blog and email list growth strategy. Tailwind helps me schedule pins consistently without having to manually post every day.

5. Shippo + Pirate Ship ⛵️

For years, Pirate Ship was my go-to for shipping labels, super easy, and great USPS rates. Recently I switched to Shippo and found even cheaper shipping options. Both are fantastic, but Shippo has been saving me extra dollars.

6. Rollo Label Printer 📰

If you’re still printing shipping labels on a regular printer, stop right now. Rollo changed my life. It’s fast, reliable, and perfect for high-volume shipping.

7. VELA Labs ✨

If you sell on Etsy or Shopify, VELA is a lifesaver. It lets me bulk edit listings in minutes. I can update titles, descriptions, tags, everything, without clicking into each product one by one.

8. QuickBooks Online 📈

Accounting isn’t fun, but QuickBooks Online makes it bearable. I track income, expenses, taxes, and run reports that help me understand the real numbers behind my business.

9. Instantly.ai (for Wholesale Outreach) 📧

If you’re wholesaling, you need this tool. I use Instantly to send dozens personalized cold emails a day to potential retailers. It automates the boring stuff and gets results.

10. The ArtVend (for My Booth!) 🎪

It’s not just a product I sell, it’s a tool I use. The ArtVend brings so many people to my booth at shows. It’s eye-catching, interactive, and drives sales like nothing else. Mystery deals, tokens, and spinning that crank? People love it.
