December 2007: New Edition of the How to Open a Boutique ebook

When I wrote the original step by step guide in 2001, I thought I knew everything there was to know about how to operate a boutique business. But in the fashion and business world’s, there is constant change.

Real estate and leasing prices change, expenses increase, designers rise and fall, sales reps move and shake and it just keeps evolving. There was just so much more to tell you in the new revised ebook.

And I have also learned so much more just from working with my customers and clients. The questions they ask are often brilliant and I have answered every one of them in the Second Edition of my How to Open A Boutique ebook.

I have learned so much from the different niches they are exploring and even more about the pitfalls that can trap the unprepared entrepreneur. But that won’t be you because you will be armed with the December 2007 Edition.

So what will the new How to Open a Boutique ebook tell you?

You can start a business for $5,000 or less if you can be creative, get your store planned out free, find fixtures, boxes and bags and learn from Marcia Israel-Curley the creator of the 104 strong Judy’s Boutiques (and my mentor).

You will also get a supply list of everything you will need to get your store open. You will get a schedule that tells you exactly what steps to take and in which order, to get your store open.

The How to Open a Boutique ebook will tell you the time frame it will take to open your store, the best month of the year to open, when to put items on sale, how to negotiate with sales reps and get them to protect your territory. Best of all, you will learn about unimaginable ways to get your business financed.

The new guide will point you to terrific web sites that will teach you about store planning, buying, selling, SBA financing and keep you informed on the tricks of the trade for running a successful retail operation.

There are also 5 years of business cash flow projections complete with
interactive spreadsheets >>> you can plug your own numbers into to project your income & the calculations are done for you. And there are dozens of big money saving strategies.

There is just so much in the Second Edition and I can’t tell you how excited I am about the new book.

Dear Laurie

Your insight, experience and step by step guide is invaluable. There was really no one in town that could have given me this information as freely and concisely as you have in this workbook.
