Are you a stay at home mom, teacher or nurse who’s looking to start a boutique and add income for your family?

What if you could Start a Boutique that Makes $3000 or more in the first 90 Days?

You've decided you want to open a retail boutique business. Where should you start?

I bet you've been doing your research on:

  • How to Pick Products That Actually Make You Money

  • Where to Find Customers That Actually Buy Those Products

  • How to Do All the Math Involved with Costs and Revenue

  • What Social Media and Marketing Tools are Relevant Right Now

  • Whether You Should Jump into Brick and Mortar or Open Online Only

Anyone can Start a Boutique Business. Not Many Actually Make Money Doing it. That's where we come in.

You've seen the TikTok videos about "How to Start an Online Boutique"... but they don't really say much. You might get guidance on getting an EIN number, starting a business bank account or where to buy inventory.

Those are things anyone can tell you. And frankly, they aren't that important when it comes to having a boutique business that makes you money.

When I say "makes you money," I mean actual dollars in your bank account that you can use to support your business and life.

That's making real money. That's what we teach.

You are frustrated that having a boutique feels hard, and you wish it could just be easy.

  • You're worried what friends and family will think when you start posting photos of yourself in clothes and jewelry.

  • You see little boutiques popping up in garages all over town and panic that there's not enough room for you too.

  • You see huge boutiques with warehouses and wish you knew their secrets.

  • Maybe you're open and feel like the only people who will ever buy from you are the people in your life already?

Following your dream of starting a boutique today could completely change your life by this time next year, just like it did for Juana.

Juana was planning to open a brick and mortar Boutique for January 2023, but had very little experience opening a retail store.

It all started with me answering her questions in my YouTube comment section on a bunch of videos (maybe you can relate?) 

Juana had a 9-5 job, but had signed a lease for a Brick and Mortar Storefront. She had decided it was time finally go all in opening her dream business: Jayla's Styles Boutique. 

In her research and Googling she came across my free content on YouTube, and then started binging my podcast. Her final comment was "How do I sign up for your Bootcamp? I'm ready to get more access to you and learn the Bootcamp system!" 

In October 2022, she decided to join our Boutique Basics Bootcamp online course before officially opening. 

She leveraged Boutique Basics Bootcamp's proven system to build and execute opening her boutique business. Finalizing inventory purchases, prepping her marketing strategy and getting really clear on who she was targeting as an ideal customer.

She opened the week after Christmas 2022 (frankly this was one of the worst timed openings I could have suggested, but it was when the lease began!)

Her first month open she made $3000 in revenue and has grown that each month since. She has stayed in Bootcamp and graduated to our next level course since then.

Juana's sales success continued to leap through April 2023, where sales hit $18,000. She continued to scale though the summer with August 2023 finishing at $26,000 in sales. 

Because she implemented Boutique Basic Bootcamp's proven system, in less than one year she has a Six Figure Boutique Business that maintains a 62% gross profit margin. She pays herself a salary and has a boutique business she loves!

I'm Emily Benson, Corporate Retail Merchant turned Boutique Owner turned Retail Boutique Consultant

For the past 8 years, I've been educating and consulting with brick and mortar, online and mobile retailers utilizing a groundbreaking new training methodology focused on mindset, margins and marketing.

As the founder of Boutique Training Academy, the top retail educational platforms for boutique owners, I'm the secret behind so many of those million dollar boutique businesses you see online.

I have over 17 years merchandising background with Abercrombie & Fitch, Club Monaco and Henri Bendel, followed by launching one of the first mobile fashion trucks in the nation, The Fashion Truck.

I hit a brick wall in 2015 with my product selling career, burnt out and resentful of my boutique business. Even though I had a professional level of knowledge and a boutique with 2 locations that made six figures a year, I just couldn't handle it anymore. A switch flipped and I had to quit.

Since then, I've been on a mission to help boutique and retail store owners start, grow and scale with ease. Founded on a professional level training system with the latest marketing and mindset strategies layered on, Boutique Training Academy is the catalyst to helping the community in Boutiqueland thrive.

I'm grateful to receive acknowledgement of my expertise from these publications & organizations:

Over 1300 Happy Boutique Owners have seen Real Results in their boutiques from this course!

"I've been in business for awhile, but Emily got me back on track."

"I have been following Emily for a few years and find her to be truly amazing, so positive. The first course I took was Boutique Basics Bootcamp - what an eye-opener as to where I was going wrong. Emily helped me to get back on track." 

Dekara Case-Lambert, Dekara Jane Fashion Boutique

"Boutique Basics Bootcamp delivers EXACTLY what it promises!"

"Boutique Basics Bootcamp delivers EXACTLY what it promises! Emily uses her unique experience and no bullsh*# perspective to give you the foundational tools needed to succeed in the boutique biz. I had some retail background and lived and died by my outdated 'keystone' philosophy to pricing. When Emily explained the 3x markup concept, my mind was blown. I now know that my business is viable and growth is the actuality, not just a dream for someday."

Beth K, A Sparkling Mess

"What you need to make your business successful."

"I’ve taken several of Emily‘s courses and she is amazing. I think the biggest takeaway I have gotten back is the mindset work. I like her energy and she isn’t just stuff & fluff she gives you that meat and potatoes of what you need to make your business successful."

Tami Anderson, Tapestry Boutique

"I've done almost $4000 in sales this month!"

- Caylee, Online Boutique

"My business has doubled from the months prior to signing up."

- Alexia, Online Boutique

"I was selling less than $100/month and now I'm going to hit $500!"

- Andi Davidson, Arden & Co. Boutique

"I've gone from $500 sales on average to $2,700 in sales."

- Gia Hamel, Eluxurie Boutique

I know this is a risk. So is Opening a Retail Boutique! What if I told you I could remove your risks?

Well, my lawyer said I can't remove all risk because it's up to you to put my ideas into actual action and execution. But there's been so many times I have hesitated making an investment in myself, so I get it. How about I walk you through a few ideas?

Most boutiques run at about a $40-45 average retail price. That means that you'll need to sell 22 pieces of $45 items to make your money back. In 3 months, that's only about 7 items a month at that $45 average. Seems pretty easy, right?

A large chunk of our Bootcamp Members include boutiques that have decided start on their own (leveraging free resources or a jam packed content membership that they end up slogging through because there's just too much information) They have $5000 to $40,000 of inventory at cost sitting in their guest bedroom or basement and are puzzled at how to untangle the mess they've ended up in.

If this is your situation, know that this is a judgement free zone where we want to help you rethink, reorganize and potentially rebrand so that you launch or re-launch with more power, information and confidence than you might expect to have.

If you're just about to buy your first chunk of inventory, maybe wait just a minute? Enroll in Bootcamp and watch "Step 3: Your Product Assortment" and learn how to curate by department, create a pricing structure and then buy the right styles to make a profit from day one. You will have inventory that sells from day one!
