Cheers to an Amazing Year: A Heartfelt Thank You and a Fun New Year’s Giveaway!

As the year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank YOU, my amazing customers, for making this year so special. Whether you’ve popped into the boutique for a quick browse, snagged your favorite finds online, or simply cheered me on from afar, your support means the world to me. Running this small-town boutique wouldn’t be half as fun (or colorful!) without you. Let’s wrap up the year with a celebration and a little giveaway surprise!

What a Year It’s Been!

2024 has been all about growth and change—and wow, did we accomplish a lot together:

  • I took the leap and switched over to Shopify for my website and POS system. It’s been a game-changer for managing inventory, and I’ve barcoded and updated about 60% of the store inventory online. (Who knew stickers with barcodes could bring so much joy?) There’s more to come in 2025!

  • Our product lineup grew in the most delightful ways. Funny air fresheners, pen and pencil sets, car coasters, and other quirky novelty items joined the shelves. If it made me giggle or go “awww,” I knew you’d love it too.

  • This was the year I got serious about email campaigns. Sure, we had a rocky start (hello, spam folder…), but we’re figuring it out! Remember, if you’d rather not get emails, please unsubscribe instead of junking them (it really hurts my email reputation!). And if you love being in the know, sign up next time you shop or visit the website—there’s a handy pop-up just for you on the home page.

  • Christmas was bigger and better than ever! From festive apparel to home décor, we decked the halls (and closets) with holiday cheer.

  • I’ve been able to extend my store hours (which you can always find pinned on my facebook page and VIP group) to be open more often, giving locals more opportunities to stop by and find their perfect treasures.

Let’s Celebrate with a Giveaway!

As a token of my appreciation, I’m kicking off a special New Year’s Day Drawing! Place an order—online or in-store—between December 16th and December 31st, and you’ll be entered to win a $25 gift card to the boutique. It’s my little way of saying thank you for an incredible year and kicking off 2025 with a bang and of course, $25. (Psst: It’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself!)

Looking Ahead to 2025

I’m so excited for what’s to come, and I’ve got big plans:

  • My top goal? Get 100% of the inventory barcoded and online, so you can shop your favorites anytime, anywhere.

  • My denim collection is HUGE (we’re talking 100 styles of jeans!). In 2025, I’m tackling a full denim overhaul to make it easier for you to browse in-store and online.

  • I want to hear from YOU! Social media polls and email surveys are coming your way so I can tailor the boutique to your needs and wants. Let’s make this boutique everything you dream of!

Here’s to You!

So here’s a big, glittery THANK YOU for all the love and support you’ve shown this year. You’re not just customers; you’re part of the boutique family. Let’s make 2025 even more fabulous together!

Mark your calendars, shop your heart out, and cross your fingers for that gift card win. Wishing you a joyous holiday season and a bright, beautiful New Year!

With love and gratitude,
Melody H.
