One of my favorite boutique suppliers and I meet twice a year. During these meetings I clear her boutique of all of her excess inventory. After I have packed the items in my van, she and I go through her next season's goods. I feel like a special client with perferred status at my own private showing. We talk about merchandising, her signage and my favorite pieces in her collections.
After our "Overstock Boutique" meeting, we are off to breakfast at a bakery for sweets and coffee. During our conversations we talk about our family and how our businesses affect our dialy lives. The discussions cover our spiritual beliefs, the love of special customers, challenges with employees, and up-coming trends in fashion. These meetings are some of my favorite intimate moments.
Most people with "regular jobs" don't understand what having your own business is like. I know that the people who trust their merchandise with me are handing something very important over to my care.
Because of this, I am always looking for ways to improve my consignment service for them. I want to make the store owners as much money as possible so they can continue to run the business of their dreams.
