You want to offer some swag at our next Hub event, now what? Swag items are sponsored items that are given out to Hub members that ultimately promote your brand. In order to stand out from the crowd, you need to think of swag items that can make an impression.
You are remembered for the swag you contribute. If something is overly branded with your logo, people are less likely to use it. If something isn’t useful or fun, they won’t enjoy it. If they don’t use it, they won’t remember you.

- The Retail Metrics You Can’t Afford to IgnoreHave you ever heard the phrase, “When you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time”? It might sound simple, but it’s a powerful truth when it comes to running a successful retail business. At The Boutique Hub, we live by another variation of this idea: Only a tracked number will grow. If you’re not actively tracking the most important numbers in your business, you’re missing out on the opportunity to grow them. It’s not about being “good with numbers,” it’s about being intentional with your focus. Because when you consistently track something—whether it’s sales, traffic, or inventory—you naturally start to improve it.
