In 2008, Lauren Ward founded NOTO Boutique. Prior to jumpstarting her business, Lauren loved to invite her friends and family into her home to shop special finds. Following this passion by officially opening her own boutique was the next logical step. NOTO Boutique has since evolved into a successful business with two stores in Akron, Ohio that offer boutique dresses, locally made screen t-shirts, secondhand clothes and everything in between. Now NOTO Boutique has three employees and summer interns from local high schools and universities. As her out of state customer base grew, Lauren knew that she would need to provide a great online shopping experience, and eBay was the perfect marketplace to do so. In early 2018, Lauren joined eBay’s Retail Revival Program and has already seen a boost in sales. She looks forward to growing with the program and connecting with the eBay community.
