Most people tend to shop at the same stores month after month. Whether it’s that the clothes in that store fit you well, the store is convenient, affordable, or you’re just plain lazy, the reality is that we are all drawn to certain stores more than others.
If you frequent a store, it makes sense to introduce yourself to one of the sales people and get to know them. Try to use the same person every time you’re in that store. After a few trips, you will start to develop an invaluable relationship. Your sales person will get to know your size and style, and will be able to save you time and money by pulling clothes in advance for you and letting you preshop sales. They will call you when new merchandise is in and you can call them before venturing into the store to make sure that they actually have what you’re seeking. For even more attention, make sure to shop mid week when the stores are empty.
As a professional personal shopper, this is one of the keys to my success. Knowing the sales people makes my job so much easier and helps my shopping trips with my clients be successful. For more information on my services, please visit www.erinstafford.com.
The key to a successful shopping trip is having direction. Know what you’re looking for in order to shop with precision. When working as a stylist, I always know what look I am trying to achieve for a photo shoot, movie premiere, or commercial. I get a brief from the art director or from a client’s publicist and that sets me in the right direction. The brief will help me figure out if the look should be sweet, edgy, funny, etc. Obviously different designers would be used for each look. For example, you’d never use out Dolce & Gabbana for a sweet look…only the most sexy.
The same can work for you when you’re out shopping on your own. What look are you trying to achieve? How do you want people to think of you? Remember you? Seek out those stores and designers that will help convey that image. If you ever need any guidance or specific stores/designers for a look, you can always call me, your personal stylist, and I will give you a list to work with. Happy shopping!
