Exploring Life & Business with Gigi Monasterio of Purple Luna Pro

March 4, 2023

Today we’d like to introduce you to Gigi Monasterio.

Hi Gigi; we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I was born and raised in a spiritually inclined family in Venezuela. Since a very young age, I participated in spiritual gatherings and events within our spiritual group. I started learning about what’s beyond the physical plane and discovering my spiritual gifts. It has always been a passion of mine to help people in their spiritual paths and support society to awaken spiritually as we dive further into the next chapter of our 5th dimension. By sharing the knowledge I’ve gathered throughout the years of practice and personal experiences, I hope to provide guidance and facilitate solutions to our community’s everyday problems and life’s tough challenges. After years of planning, I’ve finally created a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space for all religions and practices, where everyone can obtain the tools they need to practice their craft. Purple Luna Pro was born from my wish to assist our community in exploring and discovering its unique path. We are family own and operated business specializing in a wide range of metaphysical and spiritual products. Whether you are seeking spiritual guidance, looking to connect with your higher self, or want to explore new ways of personal growth and self-care, we have something for everyone.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has been a long road, and I’ve stumbled along the way a few times. Opening a spiritual shop in a town where a church is on every corner, we’ve faced many challenges due to many people’s misconceptions about spirituality. During discussions about the nature of our store, we encountered many closed doors as we were seen as “witches” or “wrong” in the eyes of God. However, this is just one of the many misinterpretations that are given to spirituality.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Purple Luna Pro?
We are a new age Spiritual and Occultist shop where you can fulfill all your needs and manifest magic into your life. We carry all the tools you need to practice your Craft or Religion. Occult books, candles, and esoteric products for the curious and advanced practitioner. Incense, gemstones, herbs, essential oils, jewelry, altar items, statues, and so much more. We are a family-owned and operated business specializing in a wide range of metaphysical and spiritual products. Whether you are seeking spiritual guidance, looking to connect with your higher self, or just want to explore new ways of personal growth and self-care, we have something for everyone.

Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting.
Opening a new store can be a challenging but also exciting time. Here are a few pieces of advice that might be helpful as you get your business up and running:

Research the local market: It’s important to understand the local market in Round Rock & Austin and the area’s demographics. This can help you make informed decisions about what products or services to offer and how to price them.

Develop a business plan: A business plan will help you map out the details of your business and provide a roadmap for success. It should include your target market, marketing strategies, financial projections, and operational plans.

Obtain any necessary licenses and permits: Depending on the nature of your business, you may need to obtain specific licenses or permits to operate legally in Round Rock. Make sure to research what is required and take care of this before you open your doors.

Build a strong online presence: In today’s digital age, it’s essential to have a strong online presence to reach potential customers. This can include having a website, maintaining social media accounts, and listing your products online.

Offer excellent customer service: Providing excellent customer service can help set your business apart and build customer loyalty. Make sure to be responsive to customer needs.
Network and build relationships: Building relationships with other local businesses and community organizations can be a great way to get your name out there and attract new customers.

Seek help from Family members and friends: We all have many friends who can help us spread the word. Have them post your store on their social media accounts and have them tell their friends about your new business.

One final piece of advice: Consider partnering with someone or finding someone interested in starting a business to share the storage space with you if you cannot handle it on your own. This way, you can divide the expenses and work together to support and grow your businesses.
