Trend Boutique | Application Preview
Trend Boutique is applying for government grants to fund various aspects of their business. The funding will be used to purchase clothing and accessories for men and women, set up a display and checkout counter, obtain a point-of-sale system, and invest in advertising, including signage and a website. Additionally, the funds will help cover rent for a strategically located building for the boutique.
The business plan aims to cater to both younger and older demographics with trendy clothing, accessories, gifts, and potentially expand into children's clothing and unique toys. The owner, a registered nurse, expresses a desire to eventually offer medical supplies like scrubs and possibly dessert items to enhance the shopping experience.
The owner emphasizes a strong work ethic, derived from both nursing and past experiences in casinos and restaurants. They are passionate about bringing a fresh, trendy boutique to the community and have a personal drive to succeed for themselves and their children. Inspired by their father's entrepreneurial success, they are committed to supporting and uplifting the local community through their business.
In terms of competition, Trend Boutique identifies the lack of diverse and high-quality options in existing clothing stores. Many competitors have limited fashion for specific age groups and do not engage effectively with the local community. The owner believes their deep community involvement and understanding of current trends will give them an edge.
The competitive advantage lies in the owner's energy, hard work, and insight into local styles, thanks to their active participation in community activities. They plan to leverage social media for advertising while aiming to offer a unique flair that aligns with current city trends. Their intentions also include making the shopping experience seamless and holding community benefits to strengthen local ties.

Business Plan
I would like to keep up with trends for younger and older men and women with clothing and accessories and gifts, and I would like to eventually sell kids clothing with unique toys, possibly medical equipment and scrubs since im a registered nurse, and decor for home. Id also like to sell some dessert on the side as well while people shop. Im extremely hard working, passionate, and do not allow myself to fail. Im a RN and know work ethic, and have worked also in the past at casinos and restraunts while in nursing school. I know what it takes to succeed and want to bring something new and trendy to my town for all. I want to achieve my dream for myself and my children to carryon of owning a boutique. My father owned many different kinds of businesses growing up, and is known as "everything he touches turns to gold" and im definitely driven the same. I will expand and donate to the community and do whatever it takes to make my community better and hopefully expand out toe bigger cities.

Self Identified Competition
They have clothing stores, but limited fashion when it comes to certain age groups and quality of clothing is not the best. Also, they advertise very little and some do not live in the community. I have children here and very active in this community and love to keep up with trends and make people feel good through clothing for all ages. Im energetic, hardworking, have a teen with different style than myself so have more diversity. I live in the community, and children go to school there and are in many activities where I see people's styles and know how to advertise to them. I love social media and will keep it up to date. I want to incorporate a different style and trend and up beat with the big cities for my town. I will make checking out and purchasing easier as well as hold benefits for my community to advertise.
