A boutique owner (Ashley Alderson) excitedly unboxes a Boutique Hub 2023 planner and explains how she uses it to organize events, plan content, and manage her boutique business. She highlights features like a content planner, four-part to-do lists, market date cards, and a notebook, and encourages other boutique owners to join the Boutique Hub.
Hey. Okay. I did this last year, and I only wanted to share again for all of actually, my, like, boutique customers. So I really try to stay organized. I try and make sure I plan fun events for you guys. And there is honestly probably one way that I keep myself organized as a boutique owner, and it is through the boutique hub, which is kind of like my special little secret. They're where I get a lot of fun ideas. And anyway, why am I so excited and out of breath? Because I literally got a notification on my shipping site that my planner was here. I put up a sign that said, peace, homie. Be back in a few. That's not what it said, but pretty close. You guys get it. I'm paraphrasing. Anyway, I wanted to open this real quick so you guys could see why I'm so excited, because I'm going to start planning my 2023 events. So why is that important to you? Because I want to know what you guys enjoy. Do you like Sip and seas? Do you want more sip and Seas? Do we need to do a mimosa Monday? Do I need to do something on Sunday? Are you like, girlfriend, stop. I don't want to come to your store anymore. And if that's the case, just unfollow me. I'm tired of you, too. So first, let's see what's in this fabulous box, because I'm excited. It's going to help me plan a lot of fun stuff for you guys, and it's really pretty. All right, first off, I want to say I'm going to cover up. You guys don't even know how much I paid for this, but, hey, thanks, Molly. I'm not sure who Molly is, but she gave me a little heart, so. We love Molly. Thank you, Molly. Let's get into some goodies. I'll kind of show you my box. That's what it looks like. Time to shine. So always love. I also like, because I keep everything, like, very on trend with color, which is fun. Boutique owners love bright colors. This also means that when it's in a stack of stuff, I could find it. Because if you've seen me or know me, you know that sometimes my desk is a hot mess. So got some great, like, motivational cards. Not that you guys need need to know these, but these are market deals, like, dates. So that way, I'm actually kind of organized and have an idea like, hey, where am I going to be in January? Actually, I'm not going anywhere in January. In February, I'm going to Vegas for market A four part to do list. For those of you guys who don't use a four part to do list, even if you're not a boutique planner or person, they're great. It's a great way to make sure you have your small stuff, your big stuff, and your, hey, honey, would you do this stuff? Super awesome. And this one. Oh, this is the best part. This is the planner. Super cute. It's got leopard print. Nope, sorry, Karen. Leopard print is still a thing. We love it. It's really just a neutral. Unless it's in pink and orange and yellow, then it's beautiful. But anyway, this is great for my business stuff. I get to keep track of my goals, keep track of my sal. How did I do? What was the weather like? Was I slow that month? Things like that for you guys. You guys make suggestions to me. Hey, you know, I'd really love it if you guys had more of this. This is where I put it. So that way when it's December and I'm like, oh, my gosh, Shelby asked me if I could totally, you know, would this be something that I can carry? I can have it in here. Make a quick post about it and everybody, you know, everybody wins. My content creator. If you guys haven't got a chance, you have missed out on meeting Maddie. This is going to be the way me and Maddie totally communicate through what's going on my social media, some fun posts, interactive posts, but also like, hey, we've got an event coming. Hey, I've got a special today. Hey, did you know the entire month of October, if you go get your mammogram, I'm giving you 25% off of an item in my store. I'm not going to regulate it. If you want the most expensive thing in the store because you went and got your girls checked, you get 25% off because I love you and I want you to be here forever. So content planner is amazing for me. It really helps me out and keeps me organized. Make sure that what's going on up here is kind of readable right here. All right, last thing is my notes. Oh, look at me. Notebook. I love good paper and I'm not going to lie, they don't skimp. This isn't like, you know, your $99 drugstore paper. I think you can buy paper at the drugstore anymore. Dating myself. Anyway, we'll say Dollar General paper. Dollar General's good too. Anyway, great notebook. Anytime I'm ever on boutique hub stuff, maybe doing the boot camp, things like that. Definitely put keep my notes in here so I can refer back and yeah, anyway, great notebook. Boom. Fantastic. Content planner. Yes, please, everybody. I'm sorry if you don't like planners, we shouldn't be friends. You can feel free to unfollow me, unfriend me and follow me. We shouldn't be around each other. Great planner. It's going to help me really make sure that brick and mortar is here for as long as I can and also be able to gauge my success. That's nice because some days aren't always easy. My four part to do list, Honestly, it's a great communication device between me and my girls that work for me because I'm not always great about telling them what I need them to do. But if I've done this, I know I can go. Oh God, you know what? I totally forgot about that. I need you to run this to the post office or whatever. But love this. I didn't even read it when I got it out. It says behind every successful woman is a group of women who have her back. And that is exactly why I'm part of the Boutique hub. Totally. Guess what? Didn't get paid to do any of this because I don't want to. I want you guys to know that you can meet some amazing people no matter where you are in your area of life. For me, Boutique world can be lonely when you're in a small town. But I've met a lot of amazing people who really helped me out, stand behind me and they feel the struggles that I feel. Maybe not right next door, but they're across the United States. And really we're all just one connection away from each other. So if you're a boutique owner, join the Boutique hub. If you're not a boutique owner, go shop at a boutique and tell them to join the hub. So love you guys. Have a fantastic Thursday. Sorry if I talked really fast today. Just excited for a new planner, I guess. See you later. Bye, guys.
