You know that feeling when you team up with a boutique bestie who just gets it, and you can talk all things industry knowing that they know exactly what you’re talking about? Well, I get to experience that today as I chat with my boutique bestie, Ulla Hald! Ulla is the founder of Faves, which many of you know and use for planning inventory and managing purchase orders once you’ve bought at market or any online platform.
In this episode, we’re walking through what successful retailers using Faves all have in common, as well as what you can learn about better management of inventory (which is arguably one of the toughest challenges that boutique owners face). Ulla and I are also giving you a little sneak peek special announcement on our new platform, Hubventory, that you definitely don’t want to miss—and that I know will make your life a whole lot easier!
