Reminder...

Do you like customer loyalty programs?  

You know...the coffee punch cards so that you can eventually get a free one?  

We do too!

Did you know that Sole Obsession Footwear has a loyalty program?

When you shop at our store you are entered into our customer loyalty program. After you spend $250 you earn 10% off your next purchase.  

The best part is that you don't have to keep track because we do. 

It's our way of saying "Thanks!"  

We appreciate all of our customers and we want you to know it!

So next time you're in the store ask us to check and see if you have a loyalty reward waiting for you.

And by the way...

Thanks for being such great customers.

Northwest Market here I come! Are you coming too?

Its that time again.  Where I get to head to Portland and do my ordering for the next up and coming season. Yes...the rain and fog have just started to settle in and I am on to Spring 2011.

Its always weird and very disconnecting.
It is this type of schizophrenic behavior that keeps the retail world so crazy and unpredictable.

Every time I take a different "friend" along with me to join in the madness.  I've taken my sister-in-law, my husband, my sister, just myself and this time I am taking along Jerrie.

I always feel bad for the people that tag along.  Each and every one has thought this would be "FUN".   I warn and I prepare that it is not all fun people.  It is hard work, stress and little sleep.  But no one believes me.  They all think "FUN" until they encounter Kelly on Saturday night:  cranky, stressed out, and ultra quiet, Kelly.  Any time I am quiet you know something is up and let me tell you, after hours of shoe shopping and a cabillion decisions being made, Kelly gets very quiet.  I think this is why I am always taking new people along.  No one wants to experience this again.

So Jerrie...be warned.  It's not all FuN!  And I totally understand if you want to back out now.

Despite all the stress though...I do LOVE the shoe show.  The stress just has to come along with it.  It is great to see what is coming out the following season, what we have to look forward to.  I enjoy all the hustle and bustle of the hotel with over 300 vendors to mingle through.  I love seeing new trends and finding out what is "out" and what is "in".  Okay, I concede there are parts of it that truly are FUN.  Especially if you are not the one making the big decisions.  There is sooo much to look at and take it.  It truly is remarkable what goes into the fashion business.

So what's in all this for YOU?  You get to be my helpers too this time.  Since Jerrie is so ultra techy and can blog from her iPhone we will take you along on our journey and let you see some of the new trends too.

Keep in tune to the blog this weekend and see what you think of all the new Spring 2011 shoes.

(Psst...all blog commenters will be entered into a drawing to win a prize.)

Plus...if you are interested in any new brands, accessories, or other ideas for the store.  Now is your chance to shout it out.  I want to hear what you want Sole Obsession to offer.  Your input is invaluable and a priceless source of information for me.  So send me an email, call me, or leave a post on the blog.  Let me know your thoughts and ideas.  I listen to each and every one of them.

Thanks!

The Cat is Out of the Bag

Yes, the rumors are true.  Wait...one rumor is true...
Sole Obsession Footwear is moving. 
(Anything else you've heard is false advertising.)


This August we will be setting up our new digs at the
Fairway Center right next The Woods Coffee.
(1758 Front St., Suite 103)





We don't have an official Grand Opening date just yet but keep checking the blog.  I'll keep you posted as we know more.

Until then the 3rd Street store is OPEN for business so come on by.  We have LOTS of great sandals, scarves, t-shirts, purses, wallets, socks, and so much more in stock.

Also look for us at the Raspberry Festival this weekend.  We will have a booth downtown.
Hope to see you there.
