Wanting to start a clothing boutique! Been working in the retail business for years. Wanting to know how you ladies like to buy... Instagram, Facebook, websites, booths? How do you like to purchase when you see something cute? What do you like to see on the add in order for you to feel confident and purchase the item?

I do probably 75% of my shopping from Instagram. I love the option to leave your size and email and be invoiced. My favorite way to see the items displayed is laid out on a nice background (check out Rollin J, Southern Trends, or 4W Western). I know it's nit picky, but I don't like to see clothes with the generic model pictures (white background) and I don't like to see clothes modeled by girls who don't look comfortable modeling.
Post unique pictures. If a botique is 80% boot socks, tights and Pikos I'm probably not going to follow. Have plenty of those items (and I would assume most other girls that wear that stuff have plenty).... I want to see unique items. I'm really big into western themed graphic prints on t shirts.
Lastly, carry a variety of sizes of available and describe how the items fits when listing it. Nothing irritates me more than seeing only XS and S of a shirt that I really like!
