Kaboodle (http://www.kaboodle.com/), the largest social website for passionate shoppers, today launched PopPicks, an exclusive, members-only online sale destination that allows shoppers everywhere to determine which products are offered at a special price for a limited time.

An ongoing program featuring a new retail partner each week, PopPicks features a collection of products selected by Kaboodle editors in partnership with the featured retailer. Once products are selected, the Kaboodle community is invited to "heart" (vote for) the products they like best. After four days of voting, the most "hearted" products are made available to Kaboodle members at an exclusive price for four days or until the reserved inventory is sold out. Once the quantities of specially priced items are completely sold, Kaboodlers can still buy the product at its original price. During voting and limited-time sales, Kaboodlers can invite friends to participate via Kaboodle’s peer-to-peer messaging system as well as on e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and other social platforms.

Moxsie, an online fashion retailer featuring independent brands, will be the inaugural launch partner. Explaining the appeal, Julia Kung, Moxsie’s director of marketing,discount tiffany, said, "PopPicks is a unique way for Moxsie to unveil cutting-edge merchandise to the alpha consumers who appreciate it.

Through PopPicks, Moxsie is also able to extend its reach to a very valuable group of sophisticated shoppers in a measurable way."

Additional participating launch partners in the coming weeks include other online fashion favorites, Karmaloop, Ssense, Ivy Blue and 80sPurple.

"Kaboodle continues to be on the forefront of innovation when it comes to creating distinctive marketing programs that provide consumers with a unique online shopping experience. This partnership allows us to broaden our online presence through emerging technology and tap into an increasingly important social dynamic around shopping and purchasing."

The debut of PopPicks reinforces Kaboodle’s leadership position in social shopping as it offers a first of its kind platform that directly integrates social commerce into its online shopping community. Shari Gunn, chief marketing officer at Kaboodle, explains, "At its core, Kaboodle has always been a way for shoppers to discover, share, and interact with products that have been vetted by other shoppers like them. This new feature extends community empowerment and amplifies their collective voice by allowing them to influence what,tiffany bangles, exactly,tiffany bracelets, is featured during our exclusive sales events. It also provides an innovative e-commerce opportunity and a new revenue stream for Kaboodle."

She has extensive experience with many leading industry brands such as Giorgio Armani, Prada and Calvin Klein.

Surrounded by cardboard boxes and clothing racks,Tiffany Watches, Mia Peterson stood eyeing her Blackberry with a worried expression.

"Oh no, don’t do this today," she said to it, adding it’s been on the fritz.

Peterson’s reaction was well warranted — her phone is needed to stay connected while setting up her business from floor to ceiling in just a few days.

Walls have been demolished and a new floor has been installed. Peterson plans to spend today hanging and steaming clothes, the finishing touches on the clothing boutique, Flirt, also based in Ellensburg, Wash. The business is set to open Monday.

Other businesses have come and gone at the store’s Grand Avenue location, but Peterson said her more than 20 years of retail experience will help her prove the venture is the right mix for the community.

Throughout her time spent in small towns in Washington, Peterson realized college towns were being neglected by clothing retailers. With Flirt, she aims to fix that.

The boutique offers clothing, accessories, jewelry, purses and shoes. It carries brands like MEK, Miss Me, Rock Revival,Tiffany bangles, Fergie, Chinese Laundry and BB Dakota. Peterson said Ellensburg and Pullman have similar climates, so clothing in the store will evolve as the weather changes. Shoe selections range from ballet flats to boots.

It will cater to a broad age range, Peterson said, from 18 to 60 years.

The boutique won’t function like a department store, and Peterson said the shop will offer only about five of each item to ensure stock is quickly swapped out for new styles. There’s nothing worse than buying an outfit for an event only to discover another person is wearing the same thing, she said.

"When you go outside you won’t see everyone in the same dress," she said.

Peterson said the limited numbers will not affect the store’s selection. While standing in a room filled with boxes of merchandise Thursday, Peterson said she expected another shipment of items the next day.

The shop still will be affordable, with jeans priced under $120.

"We like to see people in quality fashions that are well priced," she said.

The store is setup to offer the complete clothing package all in one place so customers can easily find items that are designed to go together.

"It’s about setting up a comfortable concept," she said.

Customers also can call in ahead of time, describe what they need and have those items waiting for them in a dressing room when they arrive on the store.

"We’ll work with you till we get you completed," she said.

Elyse Sparks, who has been working at Flirt in Ellensburg for more than a year and will manage the Pullman store, said all the employees strive to create look the best for each customer.

"It’s all about putting the right outfit on the right person," she said. "It’s like playing dress up with life-sized Barbies."

As manager, Sparks will oversee five employees. Peterson’s daughter Maren, 15, also has the responsibility of designing all the displays.

"The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,Tiffany Money Clips," Peterson said.

Peterson is an interior designer by trade. Her design business, Relaxed Living, is also based on Ellensburg. She also started a western home decor store called Rawhide out of Kirkland and Redmond,Tiffany necklaces, Wash.

She said having a designer background has helped her learn how to interact with people, an essential skill in operating a retail store.

Peterson said she expects to be a part of as many community events as possible and market the business heavily.

"The goal is to see our ads everywhere," she said.

September 10, 11 and 12 the boutique will host Bobby Brown cosmetics and offer free makeovers.

Flirt is located at 107 South Grand Ave., in Pullman. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 12-6 p.m. Sunday. For more information, visit www.shopatflirt.com.
