Today we’re talking trends! I want to give you a sneak peek at the latest Boutique Hub Trend Report and talk through the trends we’re currently seeing for fall/winter and holiday, as well as what will carry into and what you can expect to see next in the new year. 

I highlight some of the biggest trends in women’s apparel, accessories and home décor — from colors and patterns to textures and metals to cuts and styles — so that you can not only work them into your inventory but also capitalize on them in your marketing and merchandising. So be sure to take notes! 

If you’re a Hub member, you can download our Trend Reports anytime from your Hub membership dashboard, which directly link to brands carrying the featured trends. If you want to see actual products associated with any given trend, we’ve built boards for you, highlighted brands and linked up products as well.

  “Mom, You’re Always Working” What to Do When Family Life and Business Collide
  Have you ever heard the phrase, “When you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time”? It might sound simple, but it’s a powerful truth when it comes to running a successful retail business. At The Boutique Hub, we live by another variation of this idea: Only a tracked number will grow. If you’re not actively tracking the most important numbers in your business, you’re missing out on the opportunity to grow them. It’s not about being “good with numbers,” it’s about being intentional with your focus. Because when you consistently track something—whether it’s sales, traffic, or inventory—you naturally start to improve it.
