Find Your First 3 Brand Clients

Boutique owners are easier than you think.

Where they live

  • Instagram — search hashtags like #shopsmallboutique #swimwearbrand
  • Shopify exchange / TikTok shop sellers
  • Local boutiques — walk in with a printed try-on of their own product
  • Etsy clothing shops doing 6-figures+ with bad product photos

The 'free sample' play

Pick a brand. Go to their site. Take ONE of their products and run it through TryStyle. DM them the try-on photo with one line: 'I made this for you in 5 minutes. Want 10 more?' That's it. No pitch deck.

Pricing your first 3 clients

  • Setup (one-time): $300–$800 — install + first 20 try-on assets
