Sometimes shopping in malls or department stores can be stressful, expensive, or crowded. Online shopping can sometimes be unsatisfying because you can't actually try anything on. Try the new modern-day shopping experience: trunk shows. A lot of new companies are popping up with a similar concept. I just started as a merchandiser for Chloe + Isabel, a new jewelry brand, and it's one of the best jobs I've had. There is also Silpada and Stella & Dot that specializes in jewelry as well. These companies avoid the middle man--they do not sell in stores, only online and/or trunk shows at people's homes or offices so the prices are reasonable for the quality.
What's great for you is by hosting one of these trunk shows you can earn free jewelry! So if you're dying for a new statement necklace but your wallet can't support your dying needs, get your girlfriends (or parent's friends...ladies with money) together and have a party! Usually reps for these companies do most of the work so the only thing you have to do is come up with a guest list and provide some snacks. The rep comes with samples of the jewelry, your girlfriends get to try it on and order, and you get free jewelry.
It's perfect for college girls. Who doesn't like to host parties and try on jewelry? I've done trunk shows in the past that were labeled "Wine and Jewelry Party" and the girls pregamed with wine and jewelry before heading to the bars. It's a refreshing new way to shop. Basically you get to take advantage of your friend's shopping habits and earn new jewels.
Chloe + Isabel started last year and was named one of the top 20 startups of 2011 by Business Insider and the jewelry has been featured in multiple magazines, including Lucky, Glamour, and US Weekly. I'm bragging about this company because I already know a lot about it and I love the jewelry and the concept of the trunk show. So, want new jewelry but can't afford it? Host a trunk show! I even have an online boutique you can shop from or contact me about hosting a trunk show: http://danielleemig.chloeandisabel.com/
