work with us
We all start somewhere.
What do we do? We create a viable retail component to your existing or new business in the hospitality industry. We help small businesses create at least one new area of revenue through retail sales and brand development. From a collection of a few sellable items in an armoire, the corner of a room in your existing space, to an all new, design-build retail space. We make something from nothing. Starting with the concept, we work with you from build-out through implementation: marketing, buying, merchandising, maintenance, support staff training, and on and on.
We got you, and we get it.
We understand your time is precious (as is ours). Taking the time for a retail project is a huge undertaking, so let us do what we do best by working with your brand and expand your overall profit with retail sales. Our visuals, design integration and maintenance will keep your brand strong across all platforms including on-site design, printed material, online content and social media development. We hold true to the mission of your business.
Who we are.
Trained as a fine artist, but with a strong marketing background and decades of hospitality experience, Lori Warner has created Time the Tide based upon her unique set of skills. Known to think out-of-the-box and using both her left and right brain equally, Lori is hyper detail-oriented, but also deeply rooted in Bahamian ways. Her attention to detail on a micro level informs her decisions on a macro level. She can get things done, while still balancing the inherent obstacles of “island time” and often difficult logistics. Yeah, frustrations happen, but we deal with it and adapt. Lori considers her retail similar to a good piece of art by focusing on the color palette, where your eye moves within the space, the collection of items selected to merchandise and the clean, intentional presentation.
Lori’s team loves what they do, and work hard to achieve our shared goals: 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 52 weeks per year. We commit to a very small number of clients at a time, giving each the attention our partnership deserves. We only make money if you make money; we only succeed if you succeed.
