Support The Art Of Style

Hello everyone, it with a heavy heart that I am writing this, but I feel like I really have no other alternative.  As a small business owner, I am torn like most others about what to do in the current situation. My first thought goes to my employees. I do not have extra funds laying around to glide through these tumultuous times. We literally work day in and out to serve you so that we can pay the bills and keep this business going. The unfortunate reality is that we will not survive if we have to shut down our store for a period of time.

Being a small business has its fair share of challenges, and this might be the biggest one we have yet to face in our 9+ years of service. Obviously, we can only survive with your support and we are so grateful to have our community helping us through this difficult time. We know that purchasing clothing is probably the farthest thing from your mind (although retail therapy is a thing), we just hope that you know we are here to serve you in any way that we can. So, we just wanted to take a moment to remind you of some of the services that we do offer.

Know that we have many services like virtual shopping- of course we can FaceTime you and walk you through the store! Some of you may not know, but we already do (and have been doing it for years) curbside pick up for those on the go who don't have enough time to park and shop. We can also deliver things to you if you can't get out and about. Purchasing giftcards for future purchases would also be super helpful to us during this time.

And another thing to take advantage while many of us are on lockdown is going through your closet. If you need help clearing things out, we offer private consultation services where we can help you decide what should stay, what should go, and what can be altered. Our Style Concierge Service is a monthly subscription that allows us to do the shopping for you. Or Style Registry for any of you who have a birthday or anniversary coming up is a great way to make sure you get what you want, even on a budget. You can also read more about all of these services on our website www.theartofstyleboutique.com.

Because of this, we have created a go fund me page to raise not only money, but awareness of our situation. Every one of our friends in the service industry is struggling right now and needs our support.  So I am not above asking for yours. If you feel it in your heart to give or share this link, we would greatly appreciate it.

These funds will go towards payroll, rent, taxes, and bills to keep our lights, power, and phone on while we wait patiently for the world to go back to 'normal.'

Thank you for giving us a fighting chance. We would not have made it this far without you and we would really like to keep offering you guys some stylish alternatives. We love being a part of the Raleigh community and we thank you for your time and consideration.
