True die hard Vera Bradley addicts line by thousands of people every year visit this sales outlets in the company hosted Fort Wayne. Many travel several hundred miles or more, only to visit. But the prices are really that big? How about the choice?
I attended the 2008 Vera Bradley Outlet Sale with these questions in mind. I was pleasantly surprised by some aspects of the sale surprised and disappointed with others as you see in this post. Even if a permanentResidents of the area of Fort Wayne, home of corporate headquarters and the company Vera Bradley for sale in recent years taken the spring I make it a point to avoid the sale. Despite the fact that I adore Vera Bradley products, I kept my distance, for the same reason I avoid the malls the day after Thanksgiving. I imagined travel buyers on the sale of Duke on the best deals. The idea of viewing tables loaded with a mixture of Vera BradleyProducts sounded too much like a flea market for me. Added to this is that, as did the impatient person I am, I did not even think about the starting line.
As I entered the sale, all preconceived ideas that had gone on sale. I was at the door by a pleasant lady who welcomed me, distributed a large pink plastic bag and a list of products available for sale. The list, with illustrations, including discounted rates and significantlyidentified, which contained the products.
There have been countless people, so everything is organized. When a customer got a Vera Bradley backpack and carelessly laid it with the diaper bags, a worker was there to back pack in the table. There were also several containers and cars lead to the sale, and customers were invited to cast off all in place to keep the product tables organized.
Even if the sale was crowded,Most customers were upbeat and polite. Customers fill their pink plastic bags with their potential Vera Bradley captures, and then go out to expand the boundaries of the sale to the content and final decisions on what to keep.
To check, I was redirected to another room. Sixty cash lined up in the room, and worked two 58 employees at each POS system. One person would organize the purchases and handed the cashier, who would be the ringPurchases, then give it to a third person, who would bag the purchases. All in all, the purchase transaction is only 10-15 minutes, which was given the number of participants in the sale, very fast.
The selection was decent on the sale. Most of the items were recently retired colors and styles in September For buyers looking for new styles and colors, profits were low, and I have heard that some were disappointed that they could not find their favoriteBag in her favorite color. Although I attended the first night of the sale, there were plenty to choose from. The tables were constantly replenished. I also heard an employee who explained that he had some more trucks that should not be discharged.
For me the biggest disappointment of the Vera Bradley sale was the price. I knew that the bags and accessories would be 25% to 75% was indicated, however, my hope, that I could collect thousands of dollars for a certain producthundreds of dollars. Most items were reduced approximately 30-40%, but I have chosen as Vera Bradley bags online, without ever having the comfort of your own home.
I would like to return to the Vera Bradley outlet sale? It probably is. The sale was well organized and fun to participate. It 'also only 20 minutes drive from my house. However, when I lived several hours, I do not think I would have made the road trip. Sure, the prices were good - were not simplygreat.
