Main Points in How Boutiques Can Prepare for the Holidays

  3. What is your top upsell category? Is it accessories, home, jewelry, etc?

“Make sure you’re running promotions not sales.” -Ashley

One of the biggest mistakes businesses make in the fourth quarter is focusing on gross sales and revenue more than focusing on margin. It’s not about how much you sell.” -Ashley
