Inside the 30-Day Boutique Makeover That Turned Browsers into Buyers

By 13th May 2025No Comments

Planet A’s founders had a bold dream: to grow their business into a vibrant, conscious lifestyle store—a space for connection, creativity, and sustainable living in Edinburgh. As designers and makers themselves, their boutique was a true reflection of their values. But like many early-stage business owners, they felt they’d tried everything and still weren’t seeing the footfall or sales growth they knew was possible. Instead, they found themselves fine-tuning small things—product displays, pricing stickers, layout tweaks — hoping that would be the missing link.
But it wasn’t until they stepped into their own 30-day boutique makeover that things began to shift.

The Challenge

With so many aspects of the business clamouring for attention, Pirko and Amaury found it difficult to zoom out and prioritise what would really move the needle.
They wanted more visibility, more customer engagement, and more clarity—but weren’t sure how to get there. They felt overwhelmed by the pressure to market themselves and unsure how to share their message in a way that felt clear, compelling, and true to their values.

They reached out for strategic support—feeling hopeful, but also quietly wondering: What if this doesn’t work?


The Quick-Win Framework: Inside the 30-Day Boutique Makeover

Together, we worked inside my 30-Day Quick Win Framework to create a bold, tangible outcome: a fully mapped-out three-day in-store event series designed to elevate Planet A’s visibility, attract new local customers, and convert browsers into buyers.

From concept to delivery, we built the experience brick by brick:

  • Clarified their core opportunity and focused their energy
  • Designed and executed a local marketing plan (flyers, partnerships, and more)
  • Crafted in-store activations that reflected their unique ethos and created a clear reason to visit
  • Created tools to support data capture and repeat customer engagement
  • Anchored the entire strategy around building community and long-term connection

This wasn’t just about driving traffic—it was about giving Pirko and Amaury the confidence and clarity to lead their business with purpose and momentum.

The Results

Their Green Spring Days event didn’t just bring new energy into the boutique—it delivered undeniable results:

  • Footfall increased by 77% compared to their previous weekly average
  • Weekly sales conversions rose by 80%
  • Sales for the event weekend increased by 184% compared to the same period the previous year
  • 68 new email subscribers were added to their (brand new!) customer database
  • They also began fostering new partnerships with suppliers and collaborators that will fuel their growth long after this series wrapped.

But beyond the numbers, something even more powerful shifted:

“We’ve come away with new ideas and renewed energy, but most importantly, we feel much more grounded and optimistic about the future.”

 


The Transformation

This project worked because it was bold, intentional, and grounded in action. Planet A didn’t need more ideas—they needed a structure to bring those ideas to life. My role was to help them clarify their next best steps, make space for visibility, and show up with confidence.

With the right focus and a little strategic magic, we transformed a period of uncertainty into a powerful proof-of-concept. This 30-Day boutique makeover that turned browsers into buyers gave them a clear roadmap, reconnected them with their purpose, and showed them that sustainable success is absolutely within reach.

And your vision is within reach too!
