Candie, the owner, asked me to reach out to the SU students and help her figure out how to get new business. We brainstormed everything from social media outreach to fliers.
After helping for just three months, I had the opportunity to go on a buying trip for jewelry without Candie. Mind you, I have no experience in merchandising and had never been on a buying trip with Candie, let alone, on my own.
Sure I made some mistakes but luckily most of my purchases have sold. Here are a few photos I took on my trip to Ardmore, Pa.
What a better way to prep for post grad then getting this real life experience?
I think that's really cool that you got this hands on experience and that the owner is having a student help her out. What better way to get experience than to be thrown into it!
ReplyDeleteI also have been wanting to go to this boutique, I heard it was a cute place.
This is really cool and seems like a great experience. I have to check the boutique out!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous! My friends mom owns her own boutique in Hershey, and she makes yearly trips to New York. Sounds like a good learning experience.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so fun! I haven't been to It's All About Me boutique yet but I have heard great things about it! I also love the pictures that you included at the top of your blog, it makes it look really awesome!
