| Cheap Can Also Be Chic
The Washington chapter from the international nonprofit organization has launched a campaign to recast itself like a supply of vintage and high-end fashion so that they can expand its subscriber base to young, professional women. It's hired Hall to blog about stylish merchandise found in its stores and uploaded a relevant video of its annual fashion show to YouTube. Its new eBay store has featured a fur stole and beaded evening gown by Oleg Cassini,parajumpers outlet jackets, who designed clothes for Jacqueline Kennedy. "Most people think about Goodwill like a dirty old thrift store,http://parajumpersoutletjackets.webmium.com/, and we're trying to change that perception," said Brendan Hurley, v . p . of marketing and communication for Goodwill of Greater Washington. Goodwill was founded to teach and rehearse those who are disadvantaged or have disabilities. The nonprofit operates nine stores in the region and receives more than 400,000 donations each year. Hurley said the typical shopper is a 35- to 49-year-old woman having a household salary of under $70,000. He said the group doesn't want to alienate those core shoppers,Peuterey Jacket outlet. However it chose to get in touch with more affluent shoppers too after noticing the popularity of high-end vintage boutiques -- many of which sell the same items available at Goodwill stores. It was a lesson in marketing,giuseppe zanotti heels. There is a difference between "vintage" and "used." And Goodwill fell in to the latter category. "If we are able to help reposition the nature from the merchandise," Hurley said, "we can garner a lot of share of the market." Goodwill held its fashion show in September. The neighborhood chapter of Salvation Army also holds a yearly fashion show, which is scheduled for Wednesday in the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Washington. Hurley said the local Goodwill chapter is the first in the united states to test the concept and start marketing itself through social media outlets for example MySpace and YouTube. Hall was named retail marketing manager in June and began blogging shortly afterward under the pseudonym DC Goodwill Fashionista. "At first I had been surprised that there were comments at all. You don't understand what to anticipate. This is brand-new territory for all of us," Hall said. "Is anybody going to take Goodwill seriously with a fashion blog?" Inside a recent post, Hall wrote about fall looks for men culled from Goodwill's stores. She picked a gray wool zip-up sweater from J. Crew with flat-front trousers for just one outfit, and a shiny striped button-down shirt in another -- a bit unorthodox, but fashion is about risks. "The shirt is a little bit shinier than I'd usually recommend,giuseppe zanotti sandals, but it is from DKNY and it continues to have the tags onto it,Roger vivier, so I thought I'd throw it in," she wrote. "I think this shirt is perfectly acceptable whether it's always included in a jacket,Peuterey Jacket sale, sweater, or -- at the minimum -- a kicky vest. Otherwise, you appear like an extra from 'A Night at the Roxbury.' Not cool." The website receives 600 to 800 visitors every week, many of them local. Hall blogs three days per week and features Goodwill finds on Tuesdays. The things are then auctioned on Goodwill's eBay store. About 10,cheap giuseppe zanotti,000 visitors played the video, Hurley said. She was your store in August whenever a customer approached her for help finding jeans that suit. Because they searched the racks, Hall learned that the woman was homeless coupled with experienced the garments she was wearing for the past month. She'd only a $40 clothing voucher to invest. Hall helped her find a new outfit over the next hour: a printed,roger vivier boots, button-down blouse; a purple-and-black rain coat (the woman said she liked dark colors); new shoes; plaid flannel pajamas; fleece sweaters and cotton T-shirts. "At some point, I told her that they could go on in the dressing room and she or he said,http://kevindurantnerfshoesreleasedate.blogspot.com/, 'Don't go anywhere. I really want you to tell me if these jeans look good on me, okay?' " Hall wrote. "And Used to do. And they looked good on her." 相关的主题文章： http://www.portfolk.fora.pl/o-wszystkim-i-o-niczym,4/elle-macpherson-emits-heathrow-airport-while-in-co,5698.html#6150 http://www.compazinegtccv.fora.pl/what-say-watery-smile-work-during-quiet-breath-ambien-strengths-loove-you-iscouraged,1/buy-cheappendleton-men-s-manor-shirt-jacket-spun1,5754.html#5786 http://www.nortriptylinepztbm.fora.pl/jason-clutched-featuring-brand-hand-coming-you-seduced-shoulders-tightened-politics,1/the-spring-is-leather-weather,4431.html#4439 http://bbs.77app.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=51945 http://www.ol-ol.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=768353&extra= http://www.sexgps.com/index.php?do=/blog/481515/acid-attack-on-local-train/ http://development.compuphonic.co.uk/index.php?do=/user/login/ http://www.ariceptjga.fora.pl/forum-testowe,1/mechanic-says-new-rotors,5009.html#5057 http://www.drshogun.fora.pl/techno,29/gorgeous-style-and-design,9866.html#10242 http://zaomou.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=31003&fromuid=143924 http://www.antabusemrlnh.fora.pl/asher-slipped-werewolf-but-some-sound-pure-human-fooled,1/get-your-favorite-shoes-in-this-festive-season-spu,3683.html#3703 http://arehost.net:9090/fbook/index.php?do=/blog/135842/merrell-shoes-technology-explained-spun3/ http://www.miralaxhffwz.fora.pl/raina-propped-why-lsd-stays-in-the-body-cradled-the-hey-mean-addiction-recovery-forum-adderall-addiction-wisdom,1/breaking-in-the-nike-superfly-iii-safari-soccer,13342.html#13520 http://agenciaconecte.com.br/arca/index.php?do=/blog/190912/most-utile-home-remedies/ http://www.hardpartyprodss.fora.pl/hard-party-production,3/adam-lambert-takes-two-spots-in-vh1-s-top-40-musi,4777.html#4813 |
