Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Haliegh Hayes. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Haliegh , appreciate you joining us today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

Every year, I make a vision board cutting and pasting everything I want in that particular year. A vision board is a collage of images and words representing a person’s wishes or goals, intended to serve as inspiration or motivation. Going into 2019, my mother and I were having a conversation about ” making money in your sleep. Being the fashionista that I am, I came up with the name Haliegh’s Kloset for my online boutique. Starting a business at such a young age you don’t know in particular if your idea will work or not. One thing I strive for with my online boutique is consistency, having that same attitude I had when orders were high and promoting myself each and everyday as much as I can. I knew this idea would work because God put this idea into my heart. As I said I was going to start a business just by speaking with my mom, I researched everything that I needed to know when starting a business from vendors, EIN numbers, how to package things, what websites would be best for me, I even looked at booming boutiques on instagram and took some critiques from them to help me start my business. Haliegh’s Kloset is a boutique for everyone from petite, tall, thick and plus size. I feel as though I solved a problem just by starting my business because the small city where I am from, to see young people with businesses; especially African Americans is revolutionary. We’re accustomed to seeing our parents clock in and out which can be very convincing to kids to get a job and build someone else’s million dollar business. I’m proud to say that I have broke that chain in my family, now my sister has started a business and my mom.

Haliegh , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Haliegh’s Kloset is an online boutique owned by a 17 year old named Haliegh Hayes. One thing I am most proud of is my brand and how far we have come with seeing people rocking Haliegh’s Kloset exclusive styles, my support team, my customers, and everyone that has helped me promote Haliegh’s Kloset from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Youtube, and many more platforms. Haliegh’s Kloset is set apart by its diversity and owner. Haliegh’s Kloset is just what It is. Every piece I share is something I would love to put on and what everyone else would love to put on and look fantastic in while wearing it. I am most proud that I am a small town girl from Beaumont, Texas setting the stage for other young people that the sky is not the limit. We aim for higher so we sit among the stars. Haliegh’s Kloset is just one of the multiple stream of incomes I declare for my life so I am constantly enjoying other freedoms.

Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?

The best effective strategy for growing my clientele is school, social media, and of course word of mouth from satisfied customers. . Since going to school with so many students with different religions and ethnicities; I promote myself to everyone even the young men reminding them to shop Haliegh’s Kloset for their girlfriends. I also use my YouTube channel to promote myself. Every time while talking to my supporters I insert my saying ” make sure you shop at www.halieghskloset.com and I insert my website link into the description box below. Be sure you to subscribe to my Youtube channel. I am a walking promoter as this is the very first step to building a clientele ; the demonstration of pride and belief you have for your own brand.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

The realest story I can share is that there have been more days that I did not make a sale. I have attended pop up shops and there has been no purchase from my table. But, I consistently carve out daily time to work my business and promote me. Just the reality check to go into the business knowing that for the business to work, you have to work it. I continue promoting myself especially when sales are low, I continue to speak life over my finances and growth. I continue to research and plan to put the best fabrics in store for customers. I continue to network with millionaires and likeminded individuals as though I too am a millionaire. I am strong in my faith and my conviction for my success no matter what it looks like this day,
