MARCH 20-21, 2022 / DALLAS MARKET CENTER
Your Path To A Successful Boutique Begins Here
The boutique industry is not the same it was 24 months ago and trying to keep up with all the changes can be near impossible.
It is time to come together and show the retail world the real meaning of “Community Over Competition!” It is time to innovate, create, and master the skills needed to secure a bright and successful future.
At The Boutique Summit you will learn the skills needed to accelerate ahead of the trends. You will…
- Discover the marketing strategies that are going to change social media throughout 2022
- Learn how to drive thousands of people to your site and through your doors with SEO
- Define an monumental vision for your business
- Gain actionable steps to maximize Shopify, Live Selling, and Facebook Ads
- Refine your skills to manage your team, your inventory, and your finances
So much of the retail industry is cutting costs and trying to survive, but that will NOT create the growth and expansion YOU are after.
Join The Boutique Hub for the Boutique Summit and create a plan so that your boutique business just doesn’t survive – IT THRIVES!
Presented by: The Boutique Hub in partnership with Dallas Market Center

Ashley Alderson
Hailing from North Dakota where her nearest shopping opportunity was over 300 miles away, Ashley Alderson longed for a place online to find and shop the boutiques she loved all over the country, together in one place.
“There must be a place for shoppers like me who love boutiques to find them all — and a place boutique owners themselves can connect to find resources & grow,” Ashley thought.
Ashley’s background in business, marketing, and economic development fueled the desire to simply make life easier for small businesses by providing them training, exclusive savings, events, and wholesale shopping, in one simple place. And all in the name of COMMUNITY over COMPETITION since 2013.
Today, The Boutique Hub & Shop The Best Boutiques are the central connection point for the retail industry, providing a daily membership packed with resources, live events, signature courses, wholesale shopping, daily networking and a consumer facing marketplace for boutiques.
Ashley is a wife, busy momma of 3, jewelry junkie, barrel racer, cancer survivor, basketball fan, speaker of sarcasm, and heart for those with a dream.

I'm Karli - founder + CEO at Everyday Chic Boutique!
Everyday Chic started 7 years ago in my guest bedroom, I was a young girl with zero clue about what I was doing. However, what I did know was this --> I absolutely love fashion & I love people even more. I knew that fashion to me was so much more than just clothes - it's expression, it's empowering, it's saying who I am without even talking. {{however y'all I LOVE to talk, so ask me anything }}
I'm an Ohio girl, born and raised. I answer to wifey & mama to my little girl who is a little over 1 now! I'm a caffeine addict. I love working out, country music, lake life & movie quotes.
I'm an amputee - I geek out on motivational quotes, mindset building & personal growth. My dream is to write books & speak on stages all over the country. I'm here to change the lives of those around me & I hope you're here for it.
Now that you know me, I can't wait to get to know YOU all! Introduce yourself below!
