BOUTIQUE BUYING EXPERIENCE — $297

Build a Boutique presents The Boutique Buying Experience with Shontell Patrice at Dallas Apparel & Accessories Market.

This hands-on experience is designed to help you source and buy inventory strategically for your boutique—not simply walk the market. Shontell will help you apply the buying process in real time as you evaluate vendors, merchandise, quantities, budget and profit potential.

YOUR BUYING EXPERIENCE FEE

Market entry is complimentary for qualified registered buyers where offered by the market. Your Buying Experience fee is not an admission fee. The $297 fee covers Shontell Patrice’s professional time, preparation, boutique-buying experience, teaching, strategy and hands-on expert guidance before and during the experience.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• Pre-market buying strategy and preparation
• Hands-on guidance while navigating the market
• Vendor and merchandise evaluation
• Target-customer and assortment guidance
• Buying-budget and quantity guidance
• Pricing-for-profit guidance
• End-of-experience review and next steps

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.

EXPERIENCE CONFIRMATION

The Dallas Buying Experience does not require a minimum number of participants. Your selected Dallas experience date is confirmed with your completed purchase.

PLEASE NOTE

Airfare, lodging, transportation, meals, merchandise purchases and other personal expenses are not included in the Buying Experience fee.
