Hi there!
You have NO idea how happy i am to see this blog running, in action and positively active! As an average online shopper myself, there are too many blogshops appearing, and over time we ask ourselves "are we really getting it cheaper online?"
The main reason why we shop online is because it is cheap. Before online shopping shopping for popular, things were EVEN cheaper! But as more blogshops appear, there is more competition. Hence the different prices, different styles, different service. The only reason owners set up their blogshops in the first place is to get profit. Don't deny that. However, how they go about it is an entirely different thing. Some only want to continue making profit, some actually enjoy this process and want to further share their love for fashion + shopping thru their blogshops in their own way and style.
I will not name any blog shops whether good or bad, because i believe that every blogshop owner who hasn't given their best possible service AND buyers who don't live up to their promises, know exactly who they are. Your price may be cheap, but if cheap price calls for lousy service, im more then willing to pay a couple more dollars just to get assurance.
I gotta give credit to Clothesbucket. Average price, excellent service, hassle free transations. =) And even though i have yet to shop with Cat in a Bowl, her pictures are fantastic! But I'd have to say the price is not so average.
So to all blogshop owners who think that this blog is in the way of making you lose business, well, i guess its time for you to make lil changes here and there and make your prices competitive. We're not talking dirt cheap here, just average affordable prices. If setting your prices at the same price with those at the shopping malls, what is the point of selling and shopping online? We might as well forget about taking the time to clickkk on your links, take the time to browse thru alll your clothes, compare it with a few other blogshops, think about the delivery methoddd, how can we save costtt, etc etc etc and just drive over to the shopping mall and walk and browse? Same thing, isn't it ?
Yes, as buyers we definitely loveee the beautiful pictures, different sides and different styles to wear. We also appreciate you taking your time to snap and come up with attractive captions and catchy descriptions. A reward in terms of 'profit' for all that effort is definitely well deserved !! But please keep in mind not to over price your items, else you'll be losing your customers over time and all that your customers remember of you is "the blogshop which is soo nice but ended up overpricing when her business got better"
Shopping online is supposed to be time-saving, cost-saving and overall more value. Keep it that way.
FROM FT :
so sorry but we should have made certain points clear right at the beginning. some of u readers may be clear of these stuff because u all have been reading the site from the very beginning. but for the "newbies", they probably don't know about it.
so here it is:
Price Comparisons.
well it may not be an appropriate 'name' to some. so, shall we change the title? we were thinking of changing it to "alternatives". just that.
and also, some readers may not know why prices differ so much. is it because the sellers just want to make a higher profit? or are there reasons behind it?
here goes : [have been widely discussed in the earlier stages of this blog]
prices may differ because :
1. some sellers wanna earn more, some sellers settle for less profits. some sellers just want to price their items lower than the popular blogs just to attract more customers.
2. sellers do get cheated by the suppliers. different suppliers charge differently.
3. some sellers hire models to model their clothings
4. some sellers do have an 'offline boutique'. offline boutiques are usually more expensive than online boutiques
5. occasionally, some sellers import their items from overseas, but they didn't know that their items can be bought locally at a much lower price.
6. some sellers MAY HAVE included COD charges & postage charges into their stated price.
[do email us at fashion.truth@gmail.com if we miss out any! ]
anyway,
for now...
the SITE IS UNDER 'CONSTRUCTION'. do bear with us for the time being. lol. not major construction, just wanna draft out a proper "header/intro" so new readers dont get the wrong idea.
sellers/buyers/readers, do email us and give us your feedback on what else we should add on this blog / this header-or-intro / anything to clarify. thank u very much
*wont be updating for the next 3 days. meanwhile, we urge readers to write in to us ya!
thanks!
