Picture this: It’s a crisp New England Sunday. The leaves are turning, the coffee is hot, and you’re sitting in a beautiful room surrounded by boutique owners who understand exactly what you’re building.
By the end of the day, you’ll have your entire seasonal strategy mapped out—and you’ll finally feel confident about what’s next.
Most boutique owners spend too much time feeling stuck: wondering what to buy, when to promote, and how to make real profit without constant stress.
That’s why I created this workshop: To give you one focused day to step back, see the big picture, and build a plan you can actually follow.
“I walked in overwhelmed and left with a plan that changed everything.” – Past Workshop Attendee

"I tell people all the time that complained that they never can find answers or help, if you look hard enough you’ll find help! Praise the Lord I found your podcast and then signed up for the Accelerator. Without your coaching I would probably be out of business by now #emilytotherescue"
Ashley D
Boutique Owner, Tennessee
"In the 6 months since I found Emily's Boost Your Boutique Podcast I have gone PRN at my nursing job, opened a brick and mortar location and more than TRIPLED my gross sales from last year! I'm not getting paid a dime to post this...I just feel like I can't thank Emily enough! I want to encourage every single one of you to buy the book, listen to the podcast and just see how it starts to change your business when you begin implementing her ideas. Here's the even crazier thing, I have done all of this thanks to her wealth of FREE information. I literally cannot wait to sign up for a paid course...something I would have never even considered 6 months ago! So to Emily and the entire team, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I honestly still cannot believe this is my life right now."
Becky R.
Boutique Owner, Virginia
"I waited way too long to begin working with Emily Benson. And now that I have... I recommend no one wait. It’s worth the investment in your business. We invest in personal trainers and gym memberships for our health, we invest in accountants to do our taxes multimillion dollar companies invest in consultants to better their marketing strategies... so why wouldn't you invest in YOUR biz to make it the best it can be! No kidding- she.is.the. best. "

"As a new boutique owner and just couldn’t find any resources that really got into the financial details of running a profitable boutique. I was lucky enough to find Emily’s podcast and book last year. I spent all summer listening to her podcast episodes and reading her book and then decided to reach out to see if she would have time to take me on as a private coaching client. It was a fantastic experience! She addressed all of my concerns, questions and challenges in a way that made it possible to set reasonable goals. Our time working together resulted in my almost doubling my average monthly sales. I will always grateful for her mentorship."
Amy L.
Sorellina Boutique
"I loved the Workshop with Emily and all the other boutique owners. I was able to pick up advice from others who were asking questions that I hadn't thought of! When Emily "threw" out her agenda it cracked me up! She is real and really cares about supporting us! I feel my mindset was pretty open when I went in, but she opened it even more! Thankfully she honed in on aspects of everyone's business and we went on for two and a half hours asking questions and getting answers. I met Emily and she is officially my mentor. Thank you for everything!"

Hi, I’m Emily Benson!
Maybe we’ve met… maybe not?
I’ve spent 20 years in fashion merchandising, retail, and boutique ownership. From designing products and launching brands to pioneering the mobile retail space with The Fashion Truck (yep, that was me!), I’ve been immersed in nearly every corner of this industry.
These days, I’m most passionate about watching my boutique consulting clients build thriving businesses—ones that balance energy, vision, strategy, and real profitability.
I’m a certified Spiritual Teacher, trained at Reiki Level 2, and a big believer in self-care (plus I usually smell amazing thanks to my essential oil obsession).
I’m also a mom, learning every day how to balance growing a business with raising my daughter, nurturing my marriage, and taking care of myself in the process.
This event is proudly sponsored by my podcast, Boost Your Boutique, where I share honest insights and strategies to help boutique owners feel more empowered and less alone.
I’m so excited to spend this day with you, guiding you to create a boutique life that feels fulfilling, sustainable, and rich in every sense of the word.
