http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/379 I recently realized a long-standing dream of opening my own fashion boutique this past June. Located in a tourist town north of Boston, my first four months of operation were promising and the store received rave reviews from all of my customers, the regional media, and even from retail professionals who came in as vacationing customers and felt it necessary to offer their congratulations on creating such a unique place to shop. Although the store is operational and is continuing to draw favorable feedback, I am in need of additional funding to help the store survive its first winter, purchase inventory for the Christmas season and perform the marketing activities required to ensure its survival and growth. Having successfully managed retail stores for others, I am well versed in determining whether or not a particlar store has the ability to be successful. I am confident that my boutique will survive and in fact prosper with just this small amount of additional capital I am seeking. Pledges can be made anonymously, and given through paypal, by mail, or by calling the store.
