I’m coming to you from The Boutique Summit in Dallas this week! And I want to give you guys a quick update on how it’s all going, as well as share some really exciting news.
Along with the education and community, one of my favorite things about Summit is getting to share the latest news and happenings behind-the-scenes at The Boutique Hub. So this year I was thrilled to make a BIG announcement that will not only affect Hub members but also the boutique industry at large.
The Hub team has been working hard on finding new ways and tools to elevate your business, and we were so excited to present our new metrics dashboard at this Summit. We’ve teamed up with two of the largest data companies in the world to customize a dashboard that tells you how your business is performing and offers step-by-step direction to increasing your organic growth.
Be sure to check out your dashboard! And for those of you who weren’t able to be at here in Dallas, you can stream all of the sessions on-demand with a virtual ticket. I guarantee the 2023 Boutique Summit guest speakers and breakout discussions are worth a listen.
