90-day online marketing plan
Willow Lane Boutique
Willow Lane Boutique will turn shoppers who find it on Google, Instagram and Pinterest into online orders by showing every piece clearly, answering the questions about fit and returns, and keeping regulars posted on what has arrived.
More online orders or bookings · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Give every piece its own product page with clear photos, fabric and size details and a way to buy, because a shopper who cannot try something on needs those answers before they order.
Show what is new every week on the website, on Instagram and in a short email, so regulars have a reason to come back to the online shop between visits to the real one.
Make sizes, delivery and returns easy to find and easy to trust, since those are the questions that stop a basket becoming an order.

Your channels, in order
Website and Google search High effort · Low cost
Shoppers who search for a type of piece land on a product or collection page, and that page has to answer their questions and let them buy.
- Give each piece a page with a front, a back, a close detail and a worn photo, plus fabric, colours and sizes.
- Make collection pages for wedding guest dresses, occasion wear dresses, summer dresses and handbags and accessories, using the phrases in this plan.
- Add a page on sizes, delivery and returns, and link it from every product page.
Google Business Profile Low effort · Free
It puts the shop on the map for people nearby and sends them to the website when they would rather order than visit.
- Add the shop's hours, photos of the shop floor and the shopfront, and the website address.
- Post new arrivals with a photo each week, linking to the product page.
- Reply to every review and ask regular customers to leave one.
Instagram Medium effort · Free
Shoppers follow a boutique for its taste, and photos and short clips of pieces being worn send them to the product page.
- Treat Instagram as the shop window: put each arrival up as soon as it is on the website, so followers can buy the same day.
- Answer comments and messages about size and fit within the day, since a quick answer often decides the order.
- Follow nearby makers, stylists and gift shops and comment on their posts, so local shoppers see the boutique's name.
Pinterest Medium effort · Free
People use it to plan outfits and gifts, and every pin links back to a product page, which makes it a quiet source of orders.
- Make boards for wedding guest outfits, summer dresses, knitwear and gifts for her.
- Pin each new piece in a clear, vertical photo that links to its page.
Email list Low effort · Free
Subscribers have already said they like the shop, and a short note about new pieces brings them back to the website.
- Collect addresses at the counter and at checkout, with permission and a clear promise of how often you will write.
- Send one short email each week with the newest pieces and links to buy.
Order and bag inserts Low effort · Low cost
A card in every order and shopping bag turns a purchase into the next one and costs very little.
- Print a small card with a thank-you, the website address and a line about new arrivals.
- Add a note about gift wrapping and the last posting date before gift seasons.
What your website needs
- A home page that leads with the newest arrivals and says boutique clothing online in its first line, with the shop's town and opening hours underneath.
- A dresses page for wedding guest dresses and occasion wear dresses, grouped by occasion with sizes and colours shown.
- A summer dresses page, and seasonal collection pages that change as the stock does.
- A gifts page for gift ideas for her, with scarves, bags and jewellery grouped by who they are for, and a note on gift wrapping.
- A handbags and accessories page with clear photos of each piece and its dimensions.
- A page on sizes, delivery and returns, linked from every product page.
- An about the shop page with photos of the boutique, its opening hours and the people who choose the stock, for the search boutique near me.
