CHALLENGE
Amelia Chiarenza, author and founder of Cultivate Being—the central brand and home for her work—was preparing to launch her first published book, Recovered, Alive. While Cultivate Being served as the main ecosystem, Recovered, Alive required its own dedicated platform for introduction, preorder management, and launch event promotion. Additionally, the project involved a small initial print run, meaning they needed a partner willing to support logistics on a small scale. Their challenges included:
Dedicated Book Platform: Needed to create a standalone online presence for Recovered, Alive that supported e-commerce and event registration.
Small Quantity Management: Required a fulfillment partner willing to manage warehousing and shipping without volume minimums.
Seamless Shopify Setup: Needed a Shopify site capable of handling book orders and integrating with fulfillment workflows.
Meaningful Presentation: Needed polished content to reflect the book’s emotional message and guide readers to engage with the launch.
Marketplace Pros partnered with the Cultivate Being team to deliver a complete e-commerce and fulfillment solution:
Shopify Website Development & Management: Built and managed a dedicated Shopify store for Recovered, Alive, optimized for sales, preorder functionality, and launch event engagement.
Content Creation & Store Optimization: Worked closely with the team to craft compelling copy, meta content, and visuals that captured the heart of the book’s message.
Point-of-Sale Integration: Enabled Shopify’s POS system so Amelia could sell books directly at events, workshops, and in-person gatherings — maintaining consistent sales across all platforms.
Flexible Warehousing & Order Fulfillment: Stored and shipped books without minimum volume requirements — ensuring even small inventory batches could be handled smoothly.
SOLUTION
Successful Launch Platform: The Shopify website provided a secure space for preorders and guided readers through launch event registration.
Inclusive Support: Marketplace Pros managed fulfillment efficiently despite the small inventory—reaffirming their commitment to serving creators at any scale.
Professional Reader Experience: A meaningful, cohesive digital journey reflected the book’s healing message, while streamlined logistics ensured timely delivery.
