FedEx

Shipping – FedEx & USPS

If You Are Shipping Items Under 2 Pounds… USPS will always be cheaper than FedEx or UPS hands down. However as the weight creeps closer to 2 pounds, USPS pretty much reaches pricing parity with UPS and FedEx Ground. USPS really shines when your package weighs less than 13 oz and can be mailed via First Class mail.

Robyn Gobbel is a trauma therapist turned speaker, writer, and educator. She has a
big personality that loves all things pink and sparkly, while also being very
passionate about neuroscience, understanding the human brain, and healing
trauma. As a speaker, her vibrant personality and empathetic understanding of
people and trauma allow her to connect deeply with her audience and create an
engaging and meaningful experience.

CurlyHost did a complete revamp of Robyn’s former site, starting with a cleaned-up
layout and adding in a new color palette as fresh and playful as she is. Her live
training events and tickets are fully integrated into the site, so clients can register
without clicking away to an Eventbrite site and getting confused. Her speaking page
has fully embedded speaking samples that make it easy to get a feel for Robyn’s flair
and book her right through the website.

Check out her project with the link in our bio!

Revolution Farms is just off a quiet country road in Caledonia, Michigan where they’ve created the ideal indoor environment for fresh lettuce to thrive during every month of the Midwest climate. Inside the facility is a 50,000 square foot state-of-the-art greenhouse and an on-site packaging line.

By blending technology and biology, supply chain, and advanced agriculture, their farm harnesses natural light, automatically adjusts temperature, wind, shade, humidity, and carbon dioxide. Their fresh greens are cut at the peak of growth, immediately packaged on-site and delivered to your local grocery store in 1-2 days.

With their product design and content strategy provided by Burch Partners, their website is a fun and creative way to highlight the difference in hydroponic lettuce! Check out their website and find them in your local grocery store throughout West Michigan!
