Comments from Participating Retailers

"The Blue Dot Boutique Sale has proven crucial to our sale season. I highly recommend the event to retailers who don't like their store to become overrun with sale items for the sake of their high-end shoppers. Blue Dot puts your product in front of a large quantity of new customers in a short period of time…and they are in the mood to shop! In addition to moving the merchandise, we have made lasting regular customers because of the exposure."

'We look forward to participating in the Blue Dot Boutique Sales! We don't want to train our customers to come into our boutique looking for heavy discounts. Blue Dot gives us a venue that we can sale past season merchandise at great prices that customers appreciate. Can't wait until the next one!'

"The Blue Dot sale has proven to be our best resource for clearing out old merchandise for top value. Not only has it been instrumental in creating cash flow, it has been a great marketing tool by exposing our store to hundreds of locals and creating new customers and more repeat business."

"Blue Dot was an excellent venue to sell end of season merchandise. We sold greater than 90 percent of our clearance merchandise in 2 days! Very cost effective. We will participae every season!What could be better than that?"

"I loved being a participant at the Blue Dot Boutique Sale event. It's a great way to exit old merchandise and gain new customers for my store. I am definitely planning to participate in future Blue Dot events."

"KALE recently participated in the Blue Dot sale in Orange County as a first-time vendor. Although the sale is structured around retailers, we participated as a single brand. It was a huge success and allowed us to liquidate our bags from many seasons past--what a relief!! Easy, affordable, and profitable--what else would you want from a sample sale? I highly suggest this outlet to anyone looking to clear out old merchandise while promoting their business. We definitely plan on future participation-."

'The Blue Dot sale is such a fun event. Not only to sell off dead stock and previous seasons, but it is a great networking venue. You can meet other boutique owners, share a laugh about bizz, gain new customers that otherwise would not know about your shop and don't forget a little shopping for yourself as well. I would not just attend as a vendor I would and will attend as a shopper and a vendor for years to come. I look forward and plan my buying around the ability to move product at this event. It has become an extension to my boutique and I look forward to others joining the family at Blue Dot. See you there:)"

It's a fabulous way to clear out that sale product that's been taking up real estate on your sales floor! AND a whole lot of fun!!! We will definitely be participating in the next Sale!"

"The Blue Dot Boutique Sale was a huge success for our online store RedSparks! If you’re looking into selling off some of your older inventory, this is the event to participate in! It was exceptionally organized and marketed. RedSparks will definitely participate in the next Blue Dot Boutique Sale event."

"We have done other shopping events in the past but by far "Blue Dot Boutique" has been the most successful for us! The event was marketed well and seemed to really attract the serious bargain boutique shoppers! A great way to move merchandise while promoting the store."
