WE MADE THE LIST!
This month, we learned that The Boutique Hub was named as a part of the 2022 Inc. Regionals List. This list measures business growth, placing us at #80 and #2 in the Retail Category of Inc’s Regionals 2022: Midwest.
We are blown away.
In 2016, we almost closed the Boutique Hub for good. Our model wasn’t working, we had someone drain our accounts and lists, and despite the hustle, we didn’t yet have the right model to serve. But we figured it out.
We asked for help. We found a team. We listened. We shut off every product offer we had and served our community COMPLETELY FREE until we really understood what they needed most so we could offer it.
Today, The Boutique Hub is what it’s become because of the people inside of it. Our members lift one another up, they give, they listen, they support and they hustle. They’ve created a new life in small towns, big cities, employed thousands around the world, and are bringing back the importance of shopping small when our world has forgotten it.
THANK YOU…To every Hub member for changing the lives of others every day, and for trusting us to find new ways to serve your business
>>>>> To our Hub Team, who shows up daily to find new ways to serve our industry in the most cost-effective way possible for small businesses. They are the heart of this business.
>>>> To each of you who shop boutiques. You are supporting real families who pay local taxes, employ local families, and the heart and soul of your community.
>>>> To our kids for putting up with many late nights, work trips, wild ideas, and huge risks.
>>>> To Eric, who busted his butt when The Hub was just trying to get off the ground, and still does every day. His belief in us never wavered even when it was not looking so good.
>>>> And to the Lord above for instilling a big dream a long time ago and for the constant reassurance to keep going.
We are humbled and grateful.

- #809: How to Win with Ads in the New Algorithm Era
Ashley Alderson sits down with Zoe Spencer, one of the lead coaches inside Boutique Hub Black, to break down what’s actually driving growth right now—from content and ads to SEO and website strategy.

In this Couch Conversation, Ashley and Sara dive into the heart behind boutique businesses — what sets them apart, why they still matter in today’s world, and how boutique owners can confidently respond to the doubt and noise around them. - Stop Going Live for Views. Start Going Live for Revenue.
You know that feeling… you go live, the views are high, the comments are rolling—and then you check your sales and they don’t match the energy. It’s frustrating, but it’s also the reality most boutique owners face. The truth? Views don’t build your business—revenue does. The boutiques that consistently sell out aren’t going live for attention. They’re going live with a plan. From a strong first 60 seconds to clear calls to action and intentional follow-up, every part of their live is designed to convert—not just entertain. Because live selling isn’t just content… it’s your storefront. - The Truth About Slow Summer Sales (And What Smart Retailers Are Doing Instead)
If sales start to feel slower and your usual marketing isn’t hitting the same, you’re not alone. Seasonal shifts can impact traffic, engagement, and buying behavior more than most retailers expect. The good news? This is the perfect time to reset your strategy, refine what’s working, and build momentum for the months ahead. In this blog, we break down what’s really happening and how to turn a slower season into a smarter one.
