Want to stop guessing and start buying smarter for your boutique? In this episode of Behind Boutique Lines, we’re diving into proven inventory strategies that will help you maximize profits, minimize risk, and keep your customers coming back for more.

🚀 Here’s what you’ll learn:
✅ Follow the 80/20 Rule for Inventory – Keep 80% of your stock in bestsellers and 20% in trend-driven statement pieces to maintain steady sales while staying fresh.
✅ Use Data Over Gut Feelings – Track sell-through rates, customer demand, and POS analytics to make informed buying decisions.
✅ Buy in Depth for Bestsellers, Buy in Width for Trends – Stock multiple colors and sizes for proven winners while testing trends in smaller quantities.
✅ Time Your Orders with Seasonality – Order staple items early, restock mid-season, and avoid deep off-season buys unless demand is clear.
✅ Leverage Vendor Relationships – Work closely with a few trusted suppliers to score better deals, get first dibs on inventory, and avoid spreading yourself too thin.
