Become a Boutique Owner

Open Your Own Clothing Store

Do you love clothes and shopping? You may already spend a lot of time in boutiques, but nothing compares to the fun and financial rewards of having your own boutique.

About a Career as a Boutique Owner

As a boutique owner, you choose the products and you set the prices, and then open your doors to customers eager to snap up your latest selections and show them off to all their friends.

Boutique owners are insiders to fashion trends long before the general public. You will have an opportunity to use your creativity every day, from creating window displays to putting together a knock-out ensemble for customers who value your expert advice.

Retail fashion is a solid business, with constant demand for new clothing products created by fashion designers and the ever-changing whims of celebrities. And boutiques are chic – people value the personalized service and attention they receive, the cozy ambiance, and the unique merchandise that only a boutique can offer.

    Shaundra Webb, Dinjii Boutique, Houston, TX:

    I discovered Fabjob years ago and I have bought several guides to anything I thought I wanted to do. But this last time I bought the guide to my ultimate dream of owning my own clothing boutique for women. I used every ounce of information in getting my business started. Many people didn’t know how I was going to do it or even believed that I could. But I did! I celebrated my 1 yr anniversay Feb 5th which means that I am now entering my 2nd year as a business owner. This year has been challenging but well worth it. I am now about to launch my online store and we are moving into a showroom from our retail location. Thank you for great guides that guide people into living their dreams.”

          "I'm currently an English teacher in South Korea (returning to the States in a few months), so ordering a quick and simple ebook from FabJob.com prevented the hassles of having to order overseas. FabJob.com has given me the confidence to dive in, just like I've always wanted to, whereas before I felt shaky and without a mentor. I'll always go through this ebook for future questions especially during my first year. Thanks!"
          — Shannon Chapman, Chicago, Illinois (residing in S. Korea)

          "Thank you for the very hard work obviously put forth and the extensive research that must have been done to compile such an in-depth and relevant guide. I recommend fabjob for anyone who wants out of the rat race and to be out on their own."
          — Dylan Robinson, Kingston Springs, TN

          "I purchased the e-book three years ago and I have since started my own company. The book has been my living guide especially in my first year of operation. In many ways, I could not have gone through the starting year without it. This year I am expanding my operation and I was panic stricken for a while to find out that I lost the e-book. I wrote to FabJob about it and in less than an hour I received another copy of it. Congratulations to FabJob! You have great books and your customer service is amazing."
          — Athanasia Nointin, Sabah, Malaysia

          "This Fabjob Guide has taken my dream to a reality. After reading this guide I was truly inspired. I have jumped feet first into my new business. I am thrilled, and thankful that I have found Fabjob guides to initiate my journey to true success. Thank you so much!"
          — Katie Martinis, Silver Spring, MD

          "I just downloaded your manual (yesterday) and can’t tell you how helpful it’s been to me. I have had the most difficult time finding resources so stumbling upon your web-site was striking the lottery for me. I can apply just about every great tip to my own job search. Thank you so much for this valuable resource!"
          — Jennifer Minniti, Portland, Oregon

          "Before reading the guide I was curious about getting into the field, but after reading the guide I am CONFIDENT! This guide answered every question I had and provided information I would have never thought of. I am meeting with my business partner this week to lay the plans to our new business and I have FabJob to thank for gathering what I needed to know in one reference. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"
