Have the right dress and you can rule the world \u2014 or at least that\u2019s what my girlfriend tells me whenever she shops for clothes. But her sentiment is shared by many, from those in their early teens to those in their sunset years. Fashion speaks to all of us. And Winnie Cooper Boutique<\/a> is making waves mid-conversation.<\/p>\n

Winnie Cooper Boutique<\/em><\/p>\n

From Corporate to Culottes<\/h2>\n

Sandy O\u2019Kane, owner of Winnie Cooper Boutique, used to spend her days in the corporate world before being bit by the entrepreneurial bug. The transition to the retail space has had its challenges but she slowly eased into her new role.<\/p>\n

Today, Sandy\u2019s Chicago-based boutique has gained quite the following since its 2017 opening. They now have a team of fashionistas helping customers discover their style and pair them with the ideal pieces to add to their collection. The wardrobes are suited for everyday use or for those occasions when something ordinary just won\u2019t cut it.<\/p>\n

Everything you\u2019ll need for a great night out<\/em><\/p>\n

The Perfect Outfit<\/h2>\n

Winnie Cooper Boutique prides itself on providing customers the best outfits that suit their needs. As Sandy explains:<\/p>\n

\u201cWinnie Cooper Boutique offers everything to create a perfect outfit for that special event, hitting the town, or a casual outing. Fashion finds are easy in [our boutique\u2019s] cozy space with stunning threads from known and soon to be remembered brands.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Head to their store and you\u2019ll find dresses, tops, pants, jeans, shoes, handbags, and jewelry. They promote independent brands and designer fashions from Chicago locals.<\/p>\n

And should you need a second opinion, shop dog Mollie is more than happy to step in.<\/p>\n

RTW: Ready to Win<\/h2>\n

In the clothing retail space, you\u2019ll find lots of competition \u2014 almost too much if you\u2019d ask me. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important for companies to stand their ground and distinguish yourself from other boutiques.<\/p>\n

\u201cStaying competitive means accentuating what makes you different. We partner with independent designers, offer local products, and feature made-in-the-USA styles.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nStaying competitive means accentuating what makes you different. - Sandy O\u2019Kane <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n

True to her word, Sandy made her mark with their handmade leather earrings. They do make excellent gifts for friends or for yourself.<\/p>\n

On top of classy product offerings, Winnie Cooper has also partnered with local stylists to distribute and push the brand further.<\/p>\n

Fashionably Late<\/h2>\n

Winnie Cooper Boutique now enjoys a great reputation as backed by the feedback they\u2019ve received from their fashion-savvy clientele. But the company was not immune to dilemmas. Success came in much later than hoped. Sandy had one hurdle she needed to overcome: inventory management.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a new retail business owner, I didn’t know how far in advance seasonal products need to be ordered. I was almost 2 seasons behind. I used my mentor to get vendor lists and worked day and night placing orders. A little stressful \u2014 but we had a full store for the holiday shopping season.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Through hard work and determination, Sandy was able to bounce back. In fact, she had hit a big milestone. From being a one-woman shop working 7 days a week, she had finally started hiring employees to help with the workload.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The perfect outfit awaits<\/em><\/p>\n

And to fellow entrepreneurs who are losing their way, Sandy has this to say:<\/p>\n

\u201cFind your confidence to make decisions.<\/strong> Read, search, and listen to podcasts. Find people\/resources that help round out your opportunity areas. I’m never going to [be] a great accountant \u2014 so I hired a great one! I also found a mentor who started her own business several years ago. She was a huge resource for me in the beginning.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nFind your confidence to make decisions. - Sandy O\u2019Kane, Winnie Cooper Boutique <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n

The Power of Marketing<\/h2>\n

You can always count on marketing to get the word out. The team behind Winnie Cooper Boutique knows this well. They have used hang tags and stickers to connect with customers and make it known what the brand is all about.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrand is extremely important.<\/strong> That is one of the areas I spent a significant amount of time with before opening; from the logo to colors to product types.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Winnie Cooper Boutique Hang Tags<\/em><\/p>\n

UPrinting was able to provide all the materials she needed to get the job done.<\/p>\n

\u201cUPrinting has been perfect in delivering price hang tags and bag\/box stickers.<\/strong> The product is excellent and at a fair price. I found [that] great people were available to help me. I’d never worked on a huge print order before. UPrinting staff stopped and helped me correct the first go. It’s a simple reorder process now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nUPrinting has been perfect in delivering price hang tags and bag\/box stickers. <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n
