T ASHIDA COX, CEO AND FOUNDER OF DFB BOUTIQUE, AS A PROFESSIONAL PR AND MARKETING CONSULTANT HAS MASTERED THE ART OF RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL FASHION BOUTIQUE BY PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE PR AND MARKETING ARM OF HER BUSINESS. Tashida says, “PR and marketing are very important for any brand because it helps you to clearly define who your target audience is and while in the planning stages of promotional campaigns it helps you to identify who you want to reach and how you will do so.” Fashion has always been something that Tashida enjoyed. DFB started as a hobby while she was attending the University of the West Indies and thinking about how to occupy her spare time. She started the brand as Defined Beauty solely catering to women, but as the years went by and the brand grew she evolved into a concept boutique catering to both the male and female demographic and today now operates as DFB Boutique, which has became a brand in great demand. The DFB experience is a personal one, an experience that makes you feel accepted. Tashida believes that fashion should be very comfortable, so DFB seeks to give you a truly memorable experience. Tashida and her mom play a vital part in the attire selected for the store, infusing it with their personal style. Together they cater to the target audiences of the older and younger generation.
