Waxhaw · twenty-five miles south
Off a marketplace and onto a store they own.
Modified Tot is a personalized nursery brand in Waxhaw, about twenty-five miles south of uptown Charlotte. They'd built an audience on a marketplace and wanted the same business on a storefront of their own.
We run the paid, the search and the growth work behind that store — the unglamorous part where you find out whether the second channel can carry real spend without falling over.

Selling from Charlotte
A metro in two states, with three ports in reach.
The things that shape how a Charlotte brand sells and ships, each linked to its source.
Two states, one metro
The Census Bureau's Charlotte metro takes in York, Lancaster and Chester counties in South Carolina alongside eight North Carolina counties.
Three ports within 250 miles
Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah are all within 250 miles, and the region adds its own inland port and two major railroads, CSX and Norfolk Southern.
Four interstates
I-77, I-85, I-40 and the I-485 loop are the region's major arteries for anything moving by truck.
A hub airport
Charlotte Douglas is American Airlines' second-largest hub, and it handled 53.6 million passengers in 2025 — its second-busiest year on record.
Start here
Get the store built — or get the one you have selling better.
A build is one project: the design and theme, your catalog, the move off whatever you’re on now, and a launch somebody watches. From $10,000 one-time, and you own every bit of it.
Already on Shopify? Shopify Growth keeps the store improving month to month, from $2,250/mo. Ads, email, search and testing go on top when they’ll pay for themselves.
Questions, Charlotte edition.
Are you actually in Charlotte?
We're a remote agency — no office anywhere, and our people are spread across the US. So we're in Charlotte the same way we're in Waxhaw, where the nursery brand below is: on a video call whenever you want one. Nobody we work with has ever found the pin on the map to be the part that mattered.
We sell on a marketplace already. Is our own store worth the trouble?
It's the exact move we made with a nursery brand twenty-five miles south of you, so here's the honest version: a marketplace owns the customer, the pricing and the next email. Your own store is slower to start and it's the only version you keep. Most brands run both for a while.
We're a Carolinas brand doing most of our volume at markets and events. Does that change the build?
It changes what the store is for. When events do the selling, the site's job is follow-through: the product someone picked up at a booth should be easy to find again by name, and email picks the conversation back up the week after.
Some of our customers are over the line in South Carolina. Do we treat them differently?
Not for anything local. The Census counts York, Lancaster and Chester counties as part of the Charlotte metro, so Rock Hill and Fort Mill belong in the same delivery radius and the same ad audience as Matthews. The mistake we see is a campaign set up by state, which quietly drops the South Carolina side of your own backyard.
We import our product. Does it matter which port it comes through?
That's mostly your forwarder's call, but Charlotte has more choice than most — Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah are all within 250 miles. Whichever one you use, the store's job is the same: restock dates you can keep, back-in-stock emails that go out when the container clears rather than when it sails, and preorders to cover the gap.
Where we work
Charlotte on both sides of the state line.
The Charlotte metro runs well past the county line and over the South Carolina border, and the brand we work with here is twenty-five miles out — so this page covers the whole of it, not just uptown.
We’re a remote agency with a home base in Norristown, Pennsylvania — the team is spread across the country, with a good chunk of it on the west coast. Everything runs on video calls, so you get the same people and the same hours whether you’re downtown or an hour out of it.
