302: How to Learn & Pivot in Your Boutique with Ciara Stockeland

I've met another woman who was a boutique CEO, and I got her on to talk about what it REALLY takes to build and grow a boutique business. Ciara Stockeland, now owner of The Boutique Box, had a brick and mortar boutique-turned-franchise in the Midwest of the United States. She ran a 3000 square foot distribution center, managed massive wholesale order pick and pack shipping and in store everything. She decided to close it all down and follow her innate drive for being a start-up entrepreneur and create a business the fills the need of today's boutique owner. The Boutique Box is a subscription box designed specifically for Boutique Owners and is the only thing like it on the market. What I love about it is: 1. You're seeing brands you may never see at market or on the aggregate wholesale sites... AND getting full sized samples. 2. You're getting a discount on the wholesale prices: better margins!!! 3. You're working with someone who cares about your success and has been in your shoes. Ciara has brought on a boutique accountant and myself to help fill in the gaps in education within her community. You can find more info and sign up at www.btqbox.com. This is the LAST week they can enroll month-month at $35/mo and if you enroll by December 15, 2018, you will get the December BOX!
