L'Amour

Uniquely yours...for less!

There are no prizes for knowing that Valentine's Day is looming. But that is not what our latest blog is about. Apologies to all you romantics out there, but this blog is aimed at delving into the love of shopping and shopping smart.

Us girls make no secret about our pure love for shopping. The rush we feel when we put on our recently purchased "something". How good we feel when, headed out for a night on the town, we take stock of ourselves in the mirror and feel like a million dollars. Like any new love this feeling isn't long-lived. Once something has been worn a few times, the love fades. Time for a new shopping experience to maintain the thrill. Unless you have the shopping budget of the rich and famous, shopping can be tough on the bank balance. And sometimes we just have to window shop, as if we don't do so, we may be eating soup for a while!

True love shopping bags...mwaaa!

But we have good news. We can ease the pain. At consignista.com we have designer items available for purchase on the site at prices discounted by a minimum of 50%. And that discount is all year round. Yes, you read right, designer items, new with tags, at a minimum discount of 50% all year round. Items like brand new Selma Coach Suede Open Toe pumps for $94.00 or a BCBG Maxaria Dress priced at just $50.00. Did we mention free shipping and the fact that you also earn rewards points every time you shop with us that goes towards future purchases? An added bonus is a full returns policy. That means you can return the item to us in the condition it arrived in and voilà you get your money back. No re-stocking fee, no store credit just a good old-fashioned refund. Now that's shopping smart.

Let us not forget that if you have an item or two that you no longer love, but is too good to give away, then consign it with us without leaving your home and earn 70% when the item sells. Consign with us without leaving the home. Nice!

Our Rewards Program can also add to your piggy bank, as for every friend you refer and who shops with us, we give you $10.00*. Not $10.00 credit to spend on our site (although we feel sure that's where you will want to spend your money) but $10.00 to spend where-ever you want. Now if that's not love, we don't know what is!

Spread the love (and the word) because despite common belief, it's not money that makes the world goes round, it's love.

See you next month!

Do you relish the New Year?

Uniquely yours...for less!

OK so we're not sure about you guys, but we have found it super difficult to "get into gear" for 2014. The holidays were so fun-filled that getting back to reality sucks - yes even 24/7 businesses have some down time. And on top of that, being based out of North East America has meant we have "bundled up" to protect ourselves from the snow storm, Hercules, and the polar vortex we are currently experiencing. Apparently any moisture will "flash freeze". We remember, flash dance, but "flash freeze" is new on us lol! Any hoo, we digress.

So no-one wins star prize for knowing the typical new year's resolutions following the holidays.... join a gym, lose weight, drink less alcohol, stop smoking, be nicer to our better halves blah de blah de blah. But there are other new beginnings that are just as important that may get overlooked. What, pray tell may they be? Well, one is de-cluttering. It's not just reserved for spring cleaning. Oh no. At consignista.com our rule is, if you haven't worn something for at least 12 months then try it on, look in the mirror and ask yourself these honest questions: does it fit? does it still suit me? will I wear it? If your answer to any of these questions is "no", you don't need us to tell you want to do, consign it with us. Here are some good reasons why you should. We are not seasonally restricted on the items we accept (we're national don't you know!), you set the price you want to sell an item at and once an item is listed with us it will stay available for sale on the site unless you ask us to remove it. Most importantly, we will NEVER reduce your item - unlike other sites - and you earn the biggest slice of the pie. In a nutshell, it's your stuff, so you're in charge of it.

And with a revamped Rewards Program where, in addition to earning rewards points, when you refer a friend you earn $10 when they make their first purchase from us*, we fail to see the downside. All the blurb about our revamped Rewards Program can be found on our website www.consignista.com. Spread the word for us and you get paid!

Keep your eye on the prize.

There is just one final thing to add to this message, whether 2013 has been an awesome year, or an "I'd rather not talk about how bad 2013 was" year, this image couldn't say it better. All that is left to say is, "Let's Rock 2014"!

Happy New Year to All!
