Pick one or two unique clothing accessories to use as a central point of attraction in your store. This helps attract passers-by into the store. For instance, if you sell an imported jeweled belt, set up a display in the middle of the front of the store or in the front window. Use this particular accessory as a central theme in updated advertisements and promotions to attract customers.

Discount one or more items in the boutique deeply. Either pick one specific item or a line of items, like ties. What you might find is that customers will come in to buy the discounted item and find other accessories they like as well. Advertise this special in your promotions.

Display your clothing accessories in a way that makes it simpler for customers to envision how they will look with an outfit. For instance, place a series of mannequins throughout the store wearing trendy outfits complete with various matching accessories from around the store.

Provide top-rate customer service to inspire visitors to come back for more and tell their friends about your accessories store. Establish a favorable return policy so that customers feel more comfortable buying the accessory, knowing that they can bring it back for an exchange or refund later if they change their mind.

Hire sales people who can relate to your customer base. Train them in relationship selling, which is the process of creating some type of bond with the customer so that he will trust you and possibly buy more products. People tend to buy more when they like the seller. Encourage salespeople to upsell to customers when the opportunity presents itself as well. This means suggesting a matching handbag, for instance, to go with the item the customer is already buying.
