How to Grow a Boutique within your Studio

Meet Studio Grow Coach Christina May Wolf. Christina dreamed of creating a boutique studio and wellness resource to serve her community, and six years ago, she made that dream a reality.

Join us as Christina spills the beans on the strategies that helped her build a successful, thriving boutique business within her studio.

Offering retail options in your studio isn’t just a way to pad out your profit margin (although it will definitely help with that), it’s also a way to deepen your relationship with your clients as a trusted resource and serve your audience in as many ways as possible.

If you’re considering bringing retail into your studio or already have retail and are looking to up your game, hunker down folks, because Christina lays out exactly what you need to do, the factors you need to consider, the products to choose, and the items you should always, always have in stock.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • How Christina created a successful boutique within her studio
  • The reasons and benefits for offering retail products within your studio
  • Why you should make sure what you bring into your business aligns with you and your brand {and its core values}
  • Strategies for facilitating the sense of community with brand-specific merchandise
  • What to consider in relation to the demographics and psychographics of your members
  • The importance of managing your inventory, vendor relationships, and client interests
