Ali, I wondered if you would do a video on sales tax for the online boutique start up. I am just starting my jewelry boutique online with Shopify. I know Shopify will help collect the sales tax, but I'm nervous about the filing, record keeping, etc. Can you tell "newbies" like me what we need to know as we start??? THANK YOU....your videos have been so inspirational! Believe it or not, I'm 46 years old, just left my job as a teacher and am chasing my dream of opening a jewelry boutique!!! Thanks for all the help!
Beautiful boutique ❤️. The racks looked good, as a consumer tight racks are a big deterrent because it takes effort to separate and look , not saying empty sparse but enough to look easy and be able to shop. Such awesome stuff in there ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
if youre needing some questions to answer for your next videos -- heres mine :) 1) when did you know it was time to hire your first employee and how to pay them 2) how much did you put into your initial fixtures/displays budget and where did you find them (it seems like shipping is SO crazy ) 3) do you have a policy /procedures hand book or anything you use to streamline your hiring process?
I’m opening my first brick and mortar on November 1st after running an online shop since 2012. It’s not clothing but home decor and stationary. I loved your tip (from a previous video) on how you add “Follow us on instagram” cards in outgoing orders. Can you do another video on other ways you market your business, and ideas for holidays, Black Friday, small business Saturday, etc. Your videos are so insightful and encouraging!
Can you do a video on how you keep up with your inventory? I run an online boutique it's not doing good. I been open for about 4 months. I want a brick and mortar. I am not good in marketing. Do you have any tips on running an online boutique? Thanks in advance
Tina Delgado One thing I know she does, is advertise on Instagram.... right before I launch, I'm going to alert all of my followers on Instagram and all of fb friends. I'm also going to have some business cards made. You can email me @ cmarlowe76@gmail.com if you like... maybe we could bounce ideas off of each other.
I loooove watching your little vlogs! I listen to them as podcasts when driving to school sometimes since you always have super cute or funny stories haha Dont stop Alli!! ♥
That makes me so happy because thats what I do with other youtubers videos on my way to work. Its cool to know someone is using my vlogs for the same entertainment!
Omg your staff is great that is the most perfectly organized store I’ve ever seen they even made the shirt on the Manikin look like it’s arm wrapped around the other. It’s the small details 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Hey can you do a very detailed video on how to balance the difference between using the money you make at the store to invest back in the business and how to use the income to support you and your family that seems to be the only thing i can't figure out how to balance
I have worked in retail for a few years now and the absolute most disgusting thing we found in our store was when my coworker was cleaning up a dressing room and found that a girl tried on some of our white jeans while she was on that time of the month. It was horrendous and my manager had to damage out the $75 jeans :/
Wow this is so inspiring i have worked in a boutique for two years and would LOVE to own one . Please make a video of your profit and margins. I know that may be personal but im would just want to know if it may be worth it as i am broke af and would probably go into debt ever achieving this. Love your videos!
Hi Allie, you have been one of my biggest inspirations this year for my goals! Keep at it! Do you have any suggestions on wholesale suppliers? I am having trouble finding some.
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! YOUR BOUTIQUE IS AMAZING! Very well thought out!💞 Unfortunately you can't put cameras in the dressing rooms though. Some people are disgusting....but you know I think that may be the doings of one of you rivals😡 Be encouraged, that evil will be revealed. Just continue being a class act💞
I’d love to hear those crazy dressing room stories lol How do you keep track of what you’re ordering and for which store? You’re a super business woman idk how you keep all of that organized! Xoxo
The store looks great! Love your story time! Lol Where is a good place to order mannequins from? I live in Pittsburgh PA and I am looking into opening a Brick and Mortar Mens/Women’s boutique next year.
I love seeing that you have store fronts! www.beautynblissco is just an online boutique but one day I'm hoping that it'll be larger than that! Congrats!
"That guy is always here and is always drunk!" Lmao!! I'm screaming!!
I am so here for the fitting room shenanigans! Please spill the tea lol...
