Beginners Guide To Open a Fashion Boutique
Everything you need to know to open the doors to a brick & mortar boutique
I get asked so often about how I opened my boutique at 24. I have been writing down my story, tips, advice, and experience for years now, knowing I wanted to eventually help others on making their dream of owning a brick and mortar boutique come true. I finally compiled all of the information and created this "Beginners Guide" with hopes it will encourage those with the same dream to make it happen.
The course is broken down into 14 easy lectures. Starting with Building Your Business Plan, obtaining a License, Tax ID, Budgeting to Buying / Vendors, Product Pricing , Attending Trade Shows, Merchandising and branding. I hope this guide brings you as much success and the tools you need to open your very own brick and mortar fashion boutique.
