Innovative
New Shopping Showcase Takes Style-Savvy Consumers Out of the
Mall and Into the Pink
Marmalade
Pink, the Web’s hottest new destination for unique shopping
choices, offers a whole new world for customers seeking
extraordinary, out-of-the box products and services
Grayslake,
IL – July 17, 2007 – Stylish shoppers seeking to break free
from the confines of traditional large retail stores have a
powerful new ally. Recently launched Marmalade Pink, an
innovative business co-operative formed to bring together
talented independent designers and artisans, offers unique
products and services not available in mainstream retail
establishments. Inspired by fantastic product giveaways,
responsive customer service, and the ability to give back to
their communities, visitors are flocking to this out-of-the
box shopping showcase.
“Consumers
are frustrated with the lack of retail diversity out there and
want more choices than they can find in the big box stores,”
said co-founder Liz Nonnemacher. “When the local mall is your
only shopping option, you miss out on a fantastic world of
artists and designers that offer consistently high value and
outstanding customer service.”
A visit to
Marmalade Pink will introduce customers to an extraordinary
range of out-of-the-box retail options, including hot jewelry
designs by Charming Sam and eeni-ren designs, colorful
paintings by artist Jaime Zollars, and luxury bath products
from After the Rayne. Shoppers looking for memorable gift
ideas have top-of-the-line choices at Savvy Skirts and
trend-spotters will feel right at home with the experts at
Wickedly Chic and le Mod Boutique.
In
addition to offering links to great shops and sites, Marmalade
Pink bumps the excitement factor up a notch with monthly prize
giveaways. Each month, visitors to the main site or Marmalade
Pink member sites can register to win gift baskets valued at
between $150 and $200. Chock full of goodies ranging from
elegant jewelry to lush bath products, these prize baskets are
a great introduction to the latest trends in the independent
marketplace.
Although
customers are flocking to the site for the wide range of
shopping options, Marmalade Pink serves as more than a portal
for consumers. Because it is often hard for smaller
businesses to create a national presence, especially when
competing with larger retailers, Marmalade Pink offers its
member companies the benefit of group advertising and
support. Member companies also make a commitment to giving
back to the communities that support them. Five percent of
sales each quarter are donated to a charity, such as the ALS
Association.
