Thanks for answering my questions, Kim! This blog really is helpful. I plan on starting my online boutique but the merchandise will be slightly lower priced.

About facebook, it’s so easy. And I think it’s the best way (and most inexpensive way) to build more traffic! I highly suggest it.
Thanks again!

^Hey Emily! I don’t do facebook yet but I will soon. I have a twitter though. Facebook confuses me lol. I havent tried pitching to national magazines, Im not even sure how to go about doing that but Ill prob try it soon. I have a professional photographer who does all my pictures. Im not sure what kind of camera she uses though.

Oh and the site is doing great, which is why I was able to expand. Ill answer the rest of questions in a new post because Im sure everyone else would like to read the answers too

Hi,

Couple of questions. How do immediates work? How long does it take to get them, do all lines do immediates?

Also, have tried pitching to national magazines? I always see online boutiques featured in marie claire and Lucky.

Do you advertise on Facebook?

What kind of camera do you own for your photography?

One last thing, as I’m sure all your readers are curious, how is Ooh La Luxe doing? Have you seen a growth in traffic/following yet?

^Yeah, of course you can do that, but just so you know a lot of the collections are closed for the Spring so you might end up having to wait for immediates.

^Actually, when you compare their circulation with their demographic breakdowns they equal out about the same. But I’m looking at ads in that magazine as well!

Glad to see your going to be advertising, but you are in the wrong magazine! The reader’s of Bakersfield Life CAN’T afford the great clothes and accessories you offer – You should call Bakersfield Magazine, way more classy!…the difference is like buying a Label from your web site and buying a Fake from the swap meet.
