eitherway...the count down for vacation is on full throttle, but the challenge until my departure is hard hardcore as well...
nyc is filled with hundreds of clothing boutiques. since i currently help out at Tikabou, an upper east side "diamond in the rough," i am extremely interested for when i open my own business about the importance of location. Tikabou is located in the midst of a slew of deli's, grocery stores and restaurants. unless you leave near or around first avenue, many people don't make their way over here. many of the other boutiques such as SADA, Pookie and Sebastian, Crave, Scoop and Big Drop are all located on second and third avenue. With a better location, comes a higher rent. Will i ever be able to afford such rents and other costs?
my job for the next few days will be to visit these stores and ask managers or employees about how they started, invested and means of marketing. I will also ask for their permission to ask their customers a few questions about where they shop and how they usually find these types of stores.
well then...wish me luck!!!
T MINUS 3 DAYS!!!!
