We’ve made a lot of changes over the past 18 months and we know you have to. In order to grow, you have to adapt & change, especially within this industry. Our team has had countless discussions to chat through our projects, goals, and where we should focus our time & efforts based on our members’ needs.
This has been a difficult decision to make and not one we took lightly. That being said, we have decided not to host The Boutique Awards in 2021. Instead, we want to focus on building our wholesale marketplace, Hubventory, building an app, and helping you to promote your boutique to your customers through Pink Friday.
This year, we are making Pink Friday plans earlier in order to better assist you in promoting this shopping event to your customers. In the upcoming weeks & months, we will push out more holiday marketing resources & tips. In the meantime, get started on your Q4 prep with the FREE resources shown below.
