Personal Shopping is one of my favorite Experiences in my bag of Personal Styling Consultations. I have done so many of them and the buzz is still the same. I literally forget everything around me and I am 100% focused on finding my client outfits and accessories that they love and that look great on them. My results are great and my clients amazed (have a look on the Style Angel website for their comments!!)
Last week I had 5 Personal Shopping Clients and I traveled from Westfield Miranda to Sydney CBD and Castle Towers and on all occasions we asked for discounts as we bought many items in one go. I have really noticed that from last year, retailers are far more ready and willing to look after their clientele and you will be successful!
- You will be more successful if you buy your winter wardrobe in one shopping session. The more you spend the more likely you are to get a discount between 10-15%.
- Don't be afraid to ask for a discount in Major Department Stores like Myer or David Jones. The trick is to get a Manager employed by the Department Store and not an employee from a concession store as they don't have the authority to apply the discount.
- If you have to wait for the right person, do it, the more set you are on getting a nice sum off your purchases the more likely you are to get one.
- Sign up for Loyalty or VIP programs. I know that JacquiE gives you a 15% off your purchases on the spot when you sign up for their VIP program.
- Check Westfield stores for promotions as they often give you a Gift Card when you spend over a certain amount. (Myer and DJ's excluded so if you can buy the same thing at another store why not be smart about it!)
- Here is my little secret …. visualise the discount already given to you with a little help from above.
If you struggle at the shops and you literally walk out with nothing in complete overwhelm, it would be worth your while looking into booking in! You will learn so much on how to find the right things and what brands suit you and how to pick those pieces that just work for you! Contact me if you would like to know more!
This is what Lisa said about her 2 Hour Personal Shopping Experience that took place last Saturday 27th of June 2009 in Parramatta Westfield:
"I wish I had have known about Angela sooner! I bought more clothes in 2 hours that suited my colouring, my shape and my personality than I had managed to buy over my entire lifetime. Angela has a real knack at knowing what clothes will look great and feel comfortable. I no longer have to face my wardrobe each morning wondering what on earth I will wear…I came away with an entire wardrobe of clothes, shoes and accessories that feel amazing, together with an idea of what type of clothes suit my colouring and shape and the confidence to try something different..all in 2 hours of shopping! Thanks Angela, now when I go out I dress like a confident and feminine young mother as opposed to an 18 year old tomboy and it feels fantastic! I hope to see you again in the summer!"
