What if you could combine a passion for fashion with a commitment to community? Join us on Porch Parish as we sit down with Jessica, the remarkable entrepreneur behind Zachary's upcoming Best Co Boutique. From her early days as an LSU graduate in fashion merchandising to managing a Baton Rouge boutique and dabbling in real estate in Shreveport, Jessica's journey is filled with inspiring twists and turns. Listen in as she shares her vision of creating a boutique that caters to women 35 and up, offering stylish and high-quality pieces while balancing a busy family life with her husband Dr. Best, their three children, and their dog Max.
Jessica doesn't just want to sell clothes; she aims to make a difference. We discuss her innovative idea of donating a portion of the boutique's profits each quarter to local nonprofits or charities, with customer input on choosing the causes. This episode also delves into her dedication to multi-generational shopping experiences, avoiding trendy, age-specific items, and featuring beloved brands like Intro, Fate, TCEC, THML, Skyser Blue, and Cut from the Cloth. Jessica’s commitment to her community shines through, making her boutique a shopping destination with a purpose.
Navigating the wholesale market is no small feat, and Jessica offers a masterclass on how it's done. Drawing from her extensive retail experience, she shares strategies for managing market trips, from budgeting to planning showrooms visits. We get an inside look at the Atlanta market and the rigorous preparation involved in stocking up for new launches. We also introduce Best Co Boutique's exciting offerings, including exclusive brands and curvy sizes, all set to debut during the grand opening on Labor Day weekend. This episode is a treasure trove of passion, fashion insights, and community spirit—don't miss it!
