On this week's episode, Emily talks about the trends that you should worry about and the ones you should probably skip out on! 1. Knockoffs and using other brands logos, patterns and names.

It diminishes your brand and can also attract an "un-ideal" customer. 3. Overbuying and thinking you need new arrivals ALL THE TIME. The truth is you don't - you need new arrivals in accordance with how you're selling. Make sure that you rate and leave a review on the podcast so that you can help Emily reach more boutique owners!
