Boutique Membership
What is Boutique Membership?
The Boutique Membership Program is designed for artisans and curators who are growing their businesses but aren’t ready for the overhead of a full brick-and-mortar location. Alley Kat’s provides an opportunity for Boutique Members to create their own little storefront within the Shoppe to sell their goods.
How do I know if Boutique Membership is right for me?
This type of membership is the perfect fit for small business owners who:
Love to thrift and curate collections to resell
Repurpose and refurbish small furniture and home decor pieces
Make their own items with a large, diverse product line that can fill an entire booth space
Are willing and able to commit to weekly booth refreshes and updates
How big is a Boutique space?
Boutique spaces vary in sizing based on the area of the Shoppe they are in. We currently have several spaces available, both on the first and second level of the Shoppe.
Available first floor spaces are approximately 6 feet wide and 30 inches deep.
Available second floor spaces are approximately 6.5 feet wide and 18 inches deep.
What is the Membership fee?
Standard Boutique Membership starts at $125 per month plus 15% of sales. Boutique fees are based on the size and location of the spaces. Members will also pay a non-refundable, one-time set up fee of 50% of their monthly membership fee when they are accepted into the program.
What else do I need to know?
Boutique Members are expected to keep their spaces stocked and designed on a weekly basis to give customers the best shopping experience possible. Boutique Membership is subject to a monthly sales goal that is created to set Members up for success. The minimum sales goal varies from member to member based on booth size, but is never less than $400 per month. Membership is extended on a month-to-month basis at the discretion of the Shoppe.
