Wholesale Trade Shows: How to Buy Wholesale Inventory for Your Boutique

[@theboutiquelife]

Who’s excited to attend a trade show? ☺️🙋‍♀️

I

[@cam14dang]

I am! I want to have my own online boutique! But don’t know how to start. Thank you for all the awesome information you give. ❤️

[@MakeUPbyKiani]

My sisters and I want to start a boutique. I shared your video with them because you made me seem so smart. From taking pictures of the items ordered, to building a good relationship with your vendors, to having a card with all info on it to save time, you need it. We did these things but the Atlanta Apparel Mart was our first show and it was a LOT! So much we dont know so please keep putting your videos out. Thanks!

[@theboutiquelife]

Thank you to those of you who joined the premiere! It was a blast chatting with you!

[@juliette1072]

Hello, Do you have video of what it is like to visit a showroom and what exactly happens?

[@sierrajordyn1226]

This is so helpful! I am going to Atlanta Market in August as a first time buyer on a very tiny budget. I’m so nervous! Lol

Hi Monika so glad to see you back, could you do a video on how to market your online boutique? I've opened mines the beginning of this year but I'm having difficulty making sales and driving traffic to it. Learning any ways to gain exposure and bringing in those first sales both with online and offline ways would be really helpful. Thank You

[@blessmeachoo3992]

Norma send some items to influencers, that might help you get some traffic

[@norma9656]

Virgo1088 thanks I am planning on doing this but was waiting to get a little more followers on my business instagram bc right now I only have 300. Should I start sending them now to influencers anyway or should I wait until I raise my following?

[@blessmeachoo3992]

Norma I would say start now. Just pick an influencer which you really like that has good communication with their followers. It doesn’t have to be a big influencer it can be someone with 10k followers

[@norma9656]

Virgo1088 ah ok, I will start now then thank you so much!

[@1DLOVER30]

your videos answer literally all of my questions in detail and I'm really motivated to start my own boutique someday soon, thank you so much for these

[@keaunnaseabrum6757]

How can you market your business at the beginning with out photos, for example you are waiting on inventory but your page is create?

[@officialbossqueenli]

Hello BossQueen Monika! Absolutely LOVE your video!!! I took tons of notes. I have been bossing up to start visiting tradeshows near by. I am located in Florida so I was looking into the Atlanta Market show. Thank you for all the helpful information. Hope you have s safe trip to Texas and back home. Love what you're doing hun! Thumps up!

[@naomiwatts9489]

[@rachelwilkinson5589]

Glad you’re back! Love your boutique videos-so helpful, you get to the point without all the “fluff”. I have been able to put some of your tips to good use! I check KZbin all the time waiting for another boutique video lol 👍🏻.

[@lowkeyhairstudio]

Hi, I was wondering, do vendors ever refuse a sale? For example if you are just starting your store and don't have any real credibility (for lack of a better word).... can a vendor not want you to carry their items??

[@Rwcheshire]

I have heard it is not safe to give CC to the vendor at WWDmagic info when you preorder. Are they willing to take me preorder without that?

[@Michele-wy9dh]

Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I think it was very informative and I can't wait to go to the Magic show in February!! I am a new brand that is going to alternate between manufacturing my apparel and buying wholesale-- I really thought it was dope how you broke down what to bring, to expect, and the budget/purchasing practice. I know this is going to help me with my indecisiveness and overwhelming excitement 😂♥️ Definitely keep posting!! It's appreciated and there are other videos but they are not as open as you are about the experience😉♥️TY!!

[@theboutiquelife]

That you so much for your sweet comment! I'm hoping to make a trip back in February as well! :)

[@Michele-wy9dh]

You have been SUPER helpful! Thank you!

[@allisonlopez4605]

Your videos are very helpful, thank you love ❤️ you have been my motivation to continue building my boutique online

[@theboutiquelife]

You're so welcome.

[@jen.josa1]

Hi! I just found your channel! Thank you so much for posting this! I have a question... As a new business owner just starting out, do you recommend beginners to attend Magic, or should we first just buy wholesale items from online? Thank you

[@fannymackk]

Are these trade show vendors only from the state im which the show is being held? Do you go to tradeshows in other states? And do you reccomend doing this?

[@kristensmith8208]

That desk !! Where did you get it ?!! Omg !! 😍😍

[@theboutiquelife]

Wayfair! Love it. :)

[@altheaprass]

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it

[@siaren3427]

I enjoyed your video. Just want to confirm spring/summer clothing sold at the February show and generally, how long does it typically take to receive your orders from the vendors?

[@theboutiquelife]

You pre-order your Spring collection at the August show. Most vendors do have what's called "Immediates" which you can purchase for the current season and receive within just a few weeks. Spring items are typically shipped in December/January.

[@siaren3427]

@@theboutiquelife Thanks

[@newcheveu]

Can’t wait for the course. I need all the guidance and knowledge

[@shaiska]

girl! where've you been! you've been mia for a couple of months! or maybe it's just me who finally got your notification! nice video! on point as always!

[@theboutiquelife]

Hey love! I know. To be honest, I needed some time for myself to feel inspired again. Unfortunately, when you put yourself online, you're bound to get negative comments. I wanted to get back to a place where I enjoyed filming videos here again because it's something I'm passionate about! I appreciate your love and support.

[@jayeannabee]

I am SO happy I found your channel. I'm learning so much from you and it's helping me stay motivated. :) Keep it up. I wish you the best!

[@ExtraAKAtude]

Great video!!! Thanks for tips!

[@theboutiquelife]

Yay! You're welcome!

[@fine_apple8739]

Hi! Im new to your channel, in fact I just stumbled across it but it was very intriguing. I have never been to a clothing trade show, i have been to dental trade shows because that was a previous occupation of mine. After watching your video I searched for near by trades shows. I came across one of interest but one of the requirements was to submit 3 current vendor invoices. Being new to all of this im just wondering how do you get that without being able to go to the trade show????? I am very new to all of this, I am a new online seller and just trying to get my feet wet.

[@kristenharris3226]

Would love to have even more of these! Great video! Thank you

[@boyshanks]

Very good!! Well put together and articulated. 👍 Thank you

[@litwithmari]

[@theboutiquelife]

Of course! Glad you found it helpful!

[@Ms_jessicag]

Thank you so much for your help.

[@xIrisMarie]

Do you re-label your inventory?

[@dianediane6421]

Do vendors have photos ( models wear clothes) for us to use on our website?

[@VispronetUSA]

Great video! the next time you go to a trade show make sure to post your images on twitter and @ us!

[@reginapettis5193]

How long does it take for your orders to come if they are in stock.

[@theboutiquelife]

Usually about 1-2 weeks after the show!

[@jamiewolf3906]

This video ultimately led me down memory lane and had to go listen to JoJo again and I thank you for that, lol.

[@theboutiquelife]

Well, my job here is done. 🙃

[@manalh159]

those who can’t travel to attend a trade show, can we do it online?

[@kaybae9332]

Thanks for sharing. The 13 ppl that gave this video a thumbs down are haters 🙄

[@lifeastierra]

This is wonderful content! Thank you

[@azyfrancois]

Hi do you recommend to start my online boutique as an LLC or Sole Proprietor? Love your videos!

[@theboutiquelife]

Hi! That's something you want to discuss with your accountant or a business lawyer. It all depends on your needs! Thank you for watching. :)

Than you for this valuable info! Best wishes to you :)

[@CeciBoo]

I have been getting a lot of vendors tell me they wont work with me yet until my website has been up and running for 6m-1yr .... is it the same at these trade shows?

[@kishadanyelle2183]

Really? 6 months to a year? I need to get started then so I can order stuff once I get the money.

[@rachelarroyo6050]

Love the videos. Maybe a mic would be better sound quality?

[@theboutiquelife]

Thanks for the suggestion! :)

MonikaRoseSF Yes!! For sure!!

[@313lucky313]

I think your channel would be alot more better if you went straight to your topic first. It took 7:00 minutes approximately to begin the content of the title. Start with the pertinent info then the 7:00 minutes of your life. We have short attention spans in KZbin Land. Hope this helps 👍🏾

[@theladyfee5013]

Going to fame!!!!

[@theenergizerbunnyonsugar3276]

Your vids help so soo much! So ty ty ty!!:) also would this help too if I have a poshmark account? How would I get a seller id i think its called if I only do so on Poshmark? Thanks again@MonikaRoseSF!:)

[@leylaperez5269]

Anyone else having issues playing this video?

[@theboutiquelife]

Hi Leyla! Are you referring to the slow-moving clips? If so, I just got a new camera and am still testing out the settings. Sorry about that!
