Boutique owners... What am I doing wrong?!

Transcript

Can I ask my fellow boutique owners a genuine question? I feel like I'm doing everything we're told to do. I have a storefront, I have a website, I'm posting on social media every single day, I'm running sales, I go live, I create content, and I show up every single day. But I still feel like something just isn't connecting. I'm not giving up, not even close. I'm just at the point where I'm wondering what I'm missing or where I'm going wrong. If you're a boutique owner and you have found something that has really changed your business, what was it? Was it your content? Was it your marketing? Was it your customer experiences? Or is retail just much harder right now? Drop it in the comments, send me a message. I genuinely want to learn. So if you have advice, please let me know, because maybe this is a conversation that's going to help more boutique owners than just me.
