I CLOSED BOTH OF MY STORES

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- So due to the current events and how quickly things have changed I have decided to shut the doors to my business. This is something I thought I would never have to do.
About Me:
I’m Alli Schultz, the owner of Nomad Boutique. I own two store locations as well as an online boutique! I love sharing my insider knowledge about
owning a fashion boutique for other boutique owners and anybody wondering how to start a
boutique. I always dreamt of starting a business and being my own boss. Thanks to my
amazing customers, this dream is now a reality and I want to help you make your dreams
come true, too.

It’s going to be hard having your stores close but RUclips allows you to make money from home. Maybe not much but push out some great business content and you might be surprised at the feedback.
- warehouse tour
- how your warehouse is organized
- how to organize inventory
- storytime videos
- how to hire employees/train them/rules you have
- how to find a warehouse.
- what to do with old inventory
Just some ideas. Hope that helps.
Stay positive, we’ll get through this 💗
These are all great ideas!
Wow @Israel this is a lot of helpful info!! You could start your own biz offering advise like this.
@@TshirtChick thank you! I actually have my own store @shopisraella shopisraella.com 🤎
There's a boutique that I purchased from every time she is live through comment sold.. you definitely should do it ...I have watched every single one of your videos ..I watched a few more than once thank you for making all of them.. you have inspired me to get my seller's permit and I got it last week ..I was in Reno last month I was going to come by your store to drop a little note for you but I felt stupid LOL 😘
I wonder if there are any neighbouring businesses open that are willing to take your packages. I had to close my store this week too and it was the hardest decision ever. I am nervous that I won't be able to pay my bills but just gotta stay positive and do what I can to get online orders. I am now open on Saturdays for 3 hours for people to pick up their orders. Might be something worth looking into. I also did a Live Sale and it brought in a lot of money quick.
Just so you know, many retail stocks like Kohls, Macys, and such, are being priced as if bankruptcy is on the table. Retail is going to dive as a result of the corona virus which will last for many months, and the recession (maybe depression) that follows, will not help. Be careful with your expenditures, lots of companies aren't able to handle the significant drop of revenue.
Honey you are doing the best you can and employee as well as customer safety is Priority. Your online sales will be great. I have noticed an uptick in mine. More on Mercari. Not much on ebay. But yea you will be fine!
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Let's hope for the end of this situation soon, it has affected me so much economically. I live in Costa Rica
I pray everything works itself out for you ! My mom owns her own business and I don’t know what’s gonna happen.
Yes! I'll watch for sure
I would watch!!
Please wear a mask when you go out 💗
It's good to know we are not going through all this alone. I would love to see a warehouse tour video. We're gonna get thru this.
Sarath Dee yep, we are all in this together!!
We're all going to get through this together stay safe
You could do pre-sale tickets to an event at your store for when you open again. Like an exclusive private shopping event-put out new items for the summer. Customers get first dibs at the new stuff and offer some sort of deal for items purchased at the event. Like 15% off. Some stores do that around here for each season. Seems to work.
Look into the Small business grant Facebook just launched to help business get through this difficult time.
You got this!
Everything is gonna be ok. I know it’s hard but it will be ok.
Girl I feel you! I haven’t closed my 2 stores yet (I’m in Florida) but I’m sure it’s coming. I am personally taking this time to plan and brainstorm ways to get more creative and turn lemons in to lemonade. I am hesitant to do big sales but I sell a lot of Spring wedding guest dresses and there are not going to be any weddings this spring 🤦♀️ Please do a video of any creative ways you’re handling the store shut downs or maybe a fb live where we can all share ideas? Keep your head up this will pass! ❤️
I would watch you anytime anywhere, You are such an inspiration to me. Sorry you had to close but safety always first for you and your employees. Push push your online store and maybe include some of your store s inventory as well. Good luck.
Sandra Thomas thank you Sandra!! I have lots of inventory to promote at the online store so I should be good. We shall see what happens!!
Do IG story sales!! PayPal invoices protect you and the buyer and no fees.
Hey Alli, send out email bursts to promote gift cards and online shopping during this time. I'm sure you are already on this but I've noticed a couple of places doing this. Like a free gift with a gift card purchase over $xx.
Also, would unemployment help your staff out? Just a thought.
Stay safe and strong.
Great idea. I'm going to do the gift card offer! My state just closed for another month 😔
Great idea. I'm going to do the gift card offer! My state just shut down another month. 😔
I'm so sorry for your situation and for everyone in America right now. Here in Denmark the government are paying 75% of employees wages if the business promises not to fire them, compensating businesses for loss of profits (regardless of whether you are a small business or a major airline), paying businesses bills, delaying tax and VAT payments so we have more cash available, etc. It's costing the government billions but it's still cheaper than economic collapse! I'm so worried for you guys with your healthcare system. Stay safe and stay away from other people as much as you can!
I am so sorry that due to the Pandemic you had to close your two locations. You have been a blessing to many so hold on because YOU R JUST IN BETWEEN BLESSINGS RIGHT NOW
I will watch your videos for the comments sold. I’ve watched all your videos on RUclips. I say do it. 🥰
Thanks for the transparency and I pray for the best for us All
The situation here in NY is the same, as the entire country 😞. Let’s all pray for the best, and let’s do what we need to do. Good luck to you and please continuing shooting videos 🥰. I watch them all. 😘😘
love your videos, I am working towards hopefully opening a boutique. I design clothing and sew patchwork handbags from recycled clothing and fabric scraps. Keep doing great videos, your awesome.
From Nairobi Kenya Africa. Am really sorry for this. You inspire many of us across the world. Stay safe
Idea... you could do a point system for if you spend so much you get so many points that you can you use to get a $$ off next purchase. Or refer someone to your site and they spend $ you get a dollar amount off your next purchase.
Would definitely watch! & shop! 💕
Praying things get better quickly 🙏🏽💖💖💖
My state just closed for another month. 😩 Hard times out here.
I’ve never heard of ‘comments sold’ is it just US?.... Explore every opportunity I guess. Sending love from Australia 💛😊
Maybe take all of the store inventory and sell that first so its not sitting in the stores? In any case, you will perserver and come out the other side smelling like a rose:) Allis going to be okay. So proud of you Alli girl. xxxxoooo
Allí , you will be fine! God is in control!
Totally would watch you. Stay strong.
Ali! Sorry I know it’s a hard situation and a difficult time but stay strong 💪 we’re all in this together.
Are you still doing online sales?? From your website?
I'm so sorry !!!! Maybe do live sales?
Keep selling online
I feel you girl. We are waiting for the same thing to happen here in Oz but safety and health first. Everything else comes after that. Love watching your videos x
I feel so uneasy about the whole situation. Is it possible to sell your in store items or new inventory you planned for your stores online (if online sales hasn’t slowed down drastically)?
Yeah I could resort to that if things got really bad but right now I have enough inventory at my online warehouse to hold me over for a while.
@@AllisLife Even if you make a sale online, how well you ship if USPS etc are not working? Will you ship when things start reopening? Will you tell your clients beforehand that it'll take the item Weeks to reach them? I'd love to know . Thankyou
I will definitely watch it!
warehouse tour
I use CommentSold and it’s wonderful! Deffff expensive but totally worth it.
I’ve been keeping up with the updates. You are not alone. We will get through this. Tough right now, but things will definitely get better.
Sugar N' Spice indeed!! 💕💕💕
I hope everything works out and everyone is safe and healthy!! When everything calms down and is safer, would you be able to make a video on how you make labels and figure out shipping prices for online orders?
Stay safe.
Hang in there! I'm pulling for all Small Business Owners and B&M's! And, I'll definitely watch FB Live! I appreciate you and this video is comforting! 🙏🏽♥️
Hey, Ali, I'm sure things will pick back up soon! I'm planning on launching an online boutique soon and you have inspired me. I've watched all your videos and enjoy them all. QUAY is a product I would love to sell, where they a hard vendor to work with? Do they want you to be an established retailer? Thank you
Yes girl!! I sell on FB Live and that's how I run my business! Very good. With all this time, look into it!!! I'm excited for this timing. Sad, but it allows us to grow and expand on projects we were never able to get to! 💪🏼 You can do it!
Hang in there! If anyone can power through this trying time it’s you! You have a whole girl gang on here supporting you!💗🙌🏼 Also, I have a cousin who has used Commet sold and she absolutely loves it! It’s how they generate most of their sales now- they’re have mini “try-ons” during the afternoon when people would normally have their lunch breaks and then they utilize longer try-ons in the evenings. They’re called Indie Jane Boutique on Facebook if you want to see how they’ve utilized it. They have a standard Facebook group and then they created a VIP Facebook group that you have to be invited too and they offer exclusive discounts and first looks for that group. Just know we’re all rooting for your success and we know you’ll come out of this thriving!🙌🏼🌿
Contact your landlord and all utilities and ask them if they will work with you. Why not do a live shot from your store showcasing your collections. Do not spend any money on merchandise right now. STOP. Just hold on and be creative. Stop ordering merchandise. We’ll get thru this.
You rock Alli! Thanks for the update. Is Comment Sold a website?
Hey Alli, I'm going through the exact same situation. My two stores are closed now (London and Augsburg) and we don't know for how long or what's coming next. Wishing you the best of luck xx
So sorry Alli! We have six restaurants and we had to move to pickup and del only, but we are known for our buffet so we are scared. :( Yes do comment sold or facebook live sales!!
We're all in this together guys ❤️ take care of yourselves and practice preventive measures as much as possible. The faster we nip this, the sooner we can come back to some normalcy.
Stay safe Ally ❤️
All of us are going through this together. We just started to launch and will probably stop and pray for the best. Keep your head up and stay safe and healthy.
I look up to you so much!!!! I hope everything turns out ok
Awe you’re so sweet! I’ll survive! Trying to stay positive and focus on the good!!
Alli Schultz fangirling right now!!!! Thank you for the reply😍
I would love to watch a try on haul. Keep positive things will get better 😁❤
Be careful of loan and small business scammers right now
I have a Braiding Salon an all my clients can led! I totally understand it an feel the burn
Do you have IG?
We are so scare too. But we will get through this! ♥️ love and prayers to you and everyone else! Stay safe!
We will definitely get thru this 🙏
Yeah, I'll watch 🤩
I will watch your facebook live
I’m so sorry!! Hope things get better
Allí do you think you will be keeping the online store?
And if you try rise your on-line sells? Are those affected?

I pray for you and others. Be strong and keep safe..
Love you girl, positive vibes!!
This too shall pass 🙂 keep being optimistic

I canceled all my pre-orders
Hang in there ali your awesome 😘
I would watch!! 💗
i am watching u
ali hamidi how many fingers am I holding up?
@@AllisLife dont be hard on me.... im new
I know that had to be a very tough decision. The only feedback Ive received about Comment Sold is that it is expensive. Good luck with everything & know this is only a temporary situation ❤️
Jennifer Campuzano I didn’t even realize that you had to pay for it!
❤️❤️❤️❤️😢
😔
We personally don’t use Comment Sold because of the percentage they take!! But I would totally watch your Live Sales!!! 💕 Good luck!
I do live sales as well but I refuse to use comment sold the percentage PLUS the monthly rate is a bit ridiculous.
