Running a boutique is no easy task; you’re the buyer, the marketer, the sales manager, and the customer service rep… all before noon. We get it. That’s exactly why we created Ask Ashley, a one-of-a-kind AI-powered business assistant made exclusively for boutique owners and small retail businesses.
Ask Ashley is your shortcut to the answers you need—fast. Whether you’re wondering how to price your new arrivals, plan your next live sale, set up onboarding for a new hire, or run a successful markdown strategy, Ask Ashley is ready 24/7 with advice tailored specifically to your business.
What Is Ask Ashley?
Ask Ashley is a custom-built AI tool trained on thousands of hours of boutique-specific content from The Boutique Hub and Ashley’s extensive knowledge, gained over 13 years of entrepreneurship. That means it knows your pain points, your goals, and the way retail really works. This isn’t generic advice, it’s built by and for independent retailers who want to grow smarter, not harder.
How It Works
Using Ask Ashley is simple:
- Head to your Boutique Hub dashboard.

From inventory management to team training, content planning, marketing ideas, and even event preparation tips, Ask Ashley has your back – no need to scroll through endless Facebook threads or rewatch old webinars.
Who Is It For?
If you’re a boutique owner, online retailer, shop manager, or social seller who wears all the hats and juggles it all, Ask Ashley was made with you in mind and only exclusively for Boutique Hub members.
