@annabellejordanjohnson: tell me your favorite things that other stores do!!! I wanna knowwwww! #retailstore #smallbusinessowner #brickandmortar #shopping
I always leave my Stanley in the car because I don’t want to lug it around with my purse and everything else I have. So I love when a store has a water pitcher or dispenser available for customers!

I love when stores also have other local vendors - such as cards! It makes it so easy if whatever you are is buying is a gift or to pick up something else unique if you are visiting in town.

Hours after five is soo crucial. I feel like everything closes by 6, so I’m running around trying to cram in my errands and then nothing fun is left open.

from the pov of a former buyer, when I go into a boutique and there’s a clear vision and vibe behind the product i FEEL it. own your vibe and your people will find you

Seating for the dads / bfs that’s not directly in front of the dressing rooms - my dad always wants to sit when we bring him to girly stores but doesn’t want to feel weird sitting in front of the dressing rooms if we’re not trying stuff on lol

Hours! Knowing it’s a small business (signs, bring their dog, story of it framed), supporting other local shops, theme nights!

Not sure if it makes sense in your store, but I’m DYING to see a mini print vending machine in CLT!! Either feature local artists or have your designs!!

One thing that kinda annoys me is when stores close early, for example in Birkdale a lot of the stores close at 6/7 so most times if we are waiting for a table at a restaurant I can’t go shopping or I can’t go after dinner!

I love mannequins or outfit inspo in stores! I am more of a visual online shopper so I am more likely to buy in person if I can see it on someone or styled!

A good mirror in a decent sized dressing room!! A tiny dressing room with a bad mirror is my nightmare 😅

Non material - Employees not on their phones, and interacting with shoppers!! Material - repurposed designer things. Like jewelry turned into bag charms/earrings, small things like that!

Half the stores in south end close at 6pm. I'm usually planning an outfit for something that weekend if I am shopping in store and then I can't even make it there after work. Then I'm forced to go straight to TJ or target

A boutique I love has a spinny wheel thing and you save a % or get a free (small) something! It’s so fun and instant. Also went to a happy hr last night and they had something similar!

Stays open until at least 7! If you work until 5pm it’s so difficult to make it in time

I feel like I don’t see this as much anymore but punch cards/points rewards system! You get so many punches on a card or points from shopping there for a free or discounted item!
