Start a Boutique Business
Do you love clothes and shopping? You may already spend a lot of time in boutiques, but nothing compares to the fun and financial rewards of having your own boutique.
About a Career as a Boutique Owner
As a boutique owner, you choose the products and you set the prices, and then open your doors to customers eager to snap up your latest selections and show them off to all their friends.
Boutique owners are insiders to fashion trends long before the general public. You will have an opportunity to use your creativity every day, from creating window displays to putting together a knock-out ensemble for customers who value your expert advice.
Retail fashion is a solid business, with constant demand for new clothing products created by fashion designers and the ever-changing whims of celebrities. And boutiques are chic - people value the personalized service and attention they receive, the cozy ambiance, and the unique merchandise that only a boutique can offer.
