BOUTIQUE BUYING EXPERIENCE — $297
Build a Boutique presents The Boutique Buying Experience with Shontell Patrice at MAGIC Nashville.
WHAT IS MAGIC NASHVILLE? MAGIC Nashville brings the fashion trade-show experience to Nashville in a more curated, approachable setting. Boutique owners and retail buyers can discover established and emerging brands, local and regional collections, immediate merchandise and seasonal product across apparel, footwear, accessories and lifestyle categories. It gives you the excitement and brand discovery of MAGIC with a distinctly Nashville feel and a different pace from the massive Las Vegas show.
Shontell will help you use that more curated environment to discover merchandise your customers may not see everywhere else, connect with vendors, evaluate collections and determine what actually belongs in your boutique. You’ll learn how to move beyond “I like it” and make buying decisions based on customer fit, price point, assortment and profit.

YOUR BUYING EXPERIENCE FEE
Market entry is complimentary for qualified registered buyers where offered by the market. Your $297 fee is not an admission fee; it covers Shontell Patrice’s professional time, preparation, boutique-buying education, strategy and hands-on expert guidance.
BUYER REGISTRATION & BUSINESS CREDENTIALS
Participants are responsible for completing the market’s required buyer registration and meeting its current credential requirements. Because these are wholesale buying experiences, participants should have the appropriate business and resale/sales-tax credentials required to purchase wholesale and have their documentation available during the market. Requirements may vary by location, and additional registration instructions will be provided before the experience.
MARKET REGISTRATION / ADMISSION
Market registration and buyer credentials are separate from your Build a Boutique Buying Experience purchase. Participants are responsible for independently completing the market’s current registration process and meeting its buyer credential requirements.
EXPERIENCE SCHEDULE
Please plan to reserve the majority of your selected day for this hands-on experience. Exact meeting time, meeting location, day-of itinerary, what to bring and additional details will be provided to registered participants.
TRAVEL DESTINATION CONFIRMATION
A minimum of 6 total paid participants across all available dates for this destination is required for this Buying Experience trip to be confirmed. The 6 participants do not have to attend on the same day. For example, three participants may select one available date and three may select another.
As soon as the minimum enrollment is reached, all registered participants will be notified by email that the Buying Experience is officially confirmed. A final confirmation deadline for the destination will also be communicated so participants can plan travel accordingly.
If the minimum enrollment is not reached by the stated confirmation deadline, registered participants may transfer their registration to another available Buying Experience or receive a full refund.
Participants may make travel arrangements before official confirmation at their discretion; however, refundable or changeable travel arrangements are recommended until the Buying Experience has been officially confirmed.
PLEASE NOTE
Airfare, lodging, transportation, meals, merchandise purchases and other personal expenses are not included in the Buying Experience fee.
