Small Business Spotlight:  B’YOUtique

Article by Becky Fillinger, photos provided

Shalawn RandallIt’s another ribbon cutting this Wednesday at 11AM – welcome Shalawn Randall and her store, B‘YOUtique, to the Baker Center!

We spoke to Shalawn about opening a storefront after being online for five years and her fabulous merchandise. Come for the grand opening at 733 Marquette Avenue S, Suite 205, in the Skyway and consider spending a little holiday cash to launch a brand-new downtown business!

Q:  You’re working as a full-time business data analyst but are also launching your boutique. What’s your secret to balancing so many goals and obligations?

A:  Becky, my strength and balance come from faith and passion. God is the center of my source of strength and motivation, and this is what keeps me going on the days I feel like I can’t. My passion is fueled by the will to inspire confidence in people by expressing themselves through style. Because when you look good you tend to feel good. My customers feel good!

Q:  Who is your customer?

A:  I like to call my customers ‘Style Mavens’ - and a style maven to me is someone who does not follow fashion trends, but is a trendsetter.

They utilize their style individuality to express their personality and unwavering confidence.

Q·  How may we follow your news?

A:  You can sign up for updates, newsletters, and email notifications through my online boutique’s website. In addition, B’YOutique is also on Facebook and Instagram.
