    Mentorship this month was nothing out of the ordinary. I went in to help Amy twice a week usually to help her tidy around the store and stock inventory. One thing I really enjoyed was helping her out with her window display. Every couple of weeks Amy sets up a really creative, cute window displays to go along with the season or holidays. This month she decorated the windows with dip-dyed, hanging pine cones to go along with the winter season. She tells me that the reason she takes window displays so seriously is because it is what attracts customers, and makes her business stand out from all the other boutiques in The village.
    Since presentations were this month, I asked Amy to give me any advice she had with my project. I went over my first and best answer with her, and she's agreeed with what I had come up with. My best answer is "If you get your business known through social media, then profit for the business will increase due to popularity". Amy went on to tell me that social media is what got her business booming, and it is still her primary way to connect with her customers and let them know what she has in-store. Not only did I do a great job presenting, but it paid off once I recieved my grade. I appreciate that Amy helped with my presentation, since she of course is a business owner, and she knows what has helped her. For the next month, I would like to start going in 3 times a week and have her help me process my next two answers so I can research more on certain aspects of the industry.
